It doesn't say what percentage of drivers actually are women - it's all very well saying (for instance) that only 17% of speeding offences were women - but if only 10% of all drivers are women then that actually makes them worse.
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics ......

But women's share of speeding offences rose from 13% in 1998 to 17% in 2002.

How does the percentage of drivers make any difference? It's not about the amount of women drivers total, it's about the percentages of offences that each gender are responsible for.....

It's not just the percentage of drivers that are women but also the number of miles they drive compared to how many men drive.
There is no mention in the statistics of how many backseat women drivers were responsible for male committed offences.

Re: It's official - women are better!!!!!
If we take 100 drivers 90% of which are male and 10% female
The percentage of say 20 offences committed by the whole could be 50/50 .. but that would mean an equal number of each which would therefore work out at 10 women and ten men.. Therefore the other 80 men not included in that are ignored. It therefore would be more realistic in that hypothetical situation to say (roughly)10% of men and 100% of women offended.
I hope thats clear.. because I'm not so great at maths anymore

Re: It's official - women are better!!!!!
As recently quoted.
" the difference between men and women drivers is: If a woman is going to visit her friend, she doesn't feel the need to have to beat her personal best time to get there."

Re: It's official - women are better!!!!!
OB you should have realised that posting about this on a MALE DOMINATED forum like this would get such responses.
Frankly just leave 'em in ignorance.You and I know how the land lies when it comes to car insurance anyway.It's why the family car is in MY name(he drives my car on sufferance)and thus the insurance is in my name.Cheaper that way.
However when it comes to back seat driving why is it I'm always invited to do the driving in town but on the motorway I get no look in?

that's interesting, It's pretty much the same in our household, I prefer 'open road' driving & can concentrate for longer, but my wife is a far better driver, than me, round town, as she has more patience

How true. I now some will say there are men that park bad and there are but just the amount of women that have problems parking is unreal. Why do hey have to leave the car 20 miles away from the curb
