My father refuses to teach me how to drive, he told me I should go to driving school because unlike men, women are not good drivers. I think its a sexist comment, because what men can do, women can do better, that is my opinion haha.

Hi kafueenu Of course that's a sexist comment. I don't think so! It depends on each ability and the frequency one has trained. I mean, the longer time you try to drive yourself, then as time goes by, you driving skills will be better, that's it. I don't like that statement too that woman are not good drivers. I'm a quiet good drivers,,hehehe.. But yeah, sometimes if my dad find so slowly car he'll say "I'm sure the driver is woman". Hope after you drive nicely, your dad will change his mind about woman

he he well i don't know that who is the best driver but i think a person who is driving with consciousness and is having full concentration on the way then i will tag that person to be the best and good driver no matter whether the person is a male or female because i have seen many people who drive like hell , having their eye on somewhere and driving their vehicle at some other direction , so who so ever fulfills the above requirement is a good driver in my eyes because whenever i person sits in a vehicle he is having a faith on the driver that he will not hit the vehicle or will not drive like craze.

Have you come across a Formula 1 woman driver. In the time of equal opportunities, there should have been some body, who could have driven the formula racing cars, unfortunately, there has been no woman driver in the formula racing cars. So leave alone winning the race, no body has even raced in a single race. So, how can the woman do better than men.

HAha! I think men are better drivers, not because I am a man, just because the statistics show it! Women have more developed peripheral sight, and men more developed sight onward. And women also love to make-up themselves in cars

I think maybe men are better in direction than women. And men and women are good at different things. Men maybe knows the direction well and women are more safe driving. In all men are a little better than women in driving I think lol. You can see male drivers in much more than the femals on the roads lol. By the way, driving is a hard work to do hehe.

Contrary to popular belief, I really don't think it's a difference between men and women when it comes to driving. I have seen some men who are horrible drivers and I have seen women who are horrible drivers. I think it really boils down to the individual and the instruction that they received growing up in relation to their driving skills.
