Yes and if watch closeley women speed and men drive carefully aswel.
I have had three seriously close calls on my bike with stupid drivers 2 where taxis (Doesnt seem to matter what gender a taxi driver is since the driver owns the road though I do admit they where men) and 1 women driver (In a 4x4 of all things, why do tiny people insist on driving off-road cars, esp women I have noticed)

But doe's that not tell you something. Why do you think so many men say these things in the first place. I'll tell you its because thats what we see. I'm not having a joke here I have laughed out loud of some of the parking I've seen. Some really have been in the middle of the road and its not just unsafe its stupid. How in the hell after all do you get a licence if you can't park a car

Who started it?OB just posted a link to a news story and all the males instantly poo,poohed the idea and came out with the usual stereotypical rubbish.Especially Defiant!!! :pp
I have not given out any stereotyping at all.I've been telling the truth about MY husband,whom I may add is the worst backseat driver in the world.I at least keep my mouth shut when he is driving. I just close my eyes instead.

ME????
Well speaking personally all I can say is I have driven 3 forum members at various times - one more than the others - and they have not complained at all?
(Mind you that could have been blind terror silencing them I suppose!)

ONE COMMENT??? I noticed that the men changed their tune about women being bad drivers to being poor at parking pretty damn quick too.Possibly because they can't argue with insurance companies that reward women drivers with lower premiums.

Incog.Anyway you keep your myths and legends if it makes you feel better.

I shouldn't rise to the bait, but I will. The reason women get lower insurance premiums has nothing to do with how good their driving is.

Premiums are set on previous statistics. Let's have a look shall we... Firstly, women drive less. According to that article, it is under half as much. Anyone who drives less is liable to have less accidents, so lower premiums. Secondly, women tend to go for small, older cars. When they do have an accident, when an F reg Fiesta hits another car, it is going to be much cheaper to settle the claim, than a bloke who has a new 3 series BMW (no accounting for taste though )

You can't say women get lower insurance premiums because they are better drivers. Like I said, surely the faster someone can travel without hitting something, the better the driver they are. That's how Schmacher is bloody good driver, as opposed to a terrible one. Driving at 5mph, in my mind takes no skill. Now bear in mind, if you look at the statistics from that Evening Standard article, women are more liable to hit things in car parks, even without normalised figures.

And thirdly, it's just one of those things - it affects men so noone cares. If women or black people were automatically surcharged on their insurance, there would of been outrage years ago. If I had the time, i'd love to try and fight this blatant sex discrimination. You can choose a powerful, or slow car, or live in a high/low risk area, but I have no choice in my gender. It shouldn't ever come into the policy.

Yep! I can!. Although we did get a bit lost a couple of times, although that's due to my lack of skill as a navigator..
