Lady drivers --- do you think they drive more carefully and safely than men?

Hiya MMT, Women Drivers are not always the best Drivers but of course we are really more careful generally. Men Drivers can be equally the same in fact I find the Men Drivers have two extremes rarely the middle one they are too nice or too nasty specially when it snows.

Yes!I too have heard about this fact and there is truth to a great extent.Ladies tend to drive softly and smoothly than a male driver.She will not like to drive rashly or at over speed.She enjoys driving more and hence don't treat the car as just a machine.She loves the car as her extension and so she will keep it in good condition. But this is generalized version about lady driven cars.There are exceptions that we should not forget.I know one lady in a training institute who challenges men on road with her fierce driving.

Well I used to believe they where but lately I am not to sure at all as I have seen a few that can be just as bad as Men I drive and I try to stay as safe as I can, but lately I have come across Women Drivers that seem to think they own the road Ok I have not come across to many of them but they are out there I think the reason we are safer Drivers we are not urged by racing, showing of or being daring

When I compare my husband and myself, I will say that ladies are easier on cars than men are. I am typically never in the car without my children, so I am always extremely cautious when I am driving because I don't want anything to happen to the children. I am also very smooth when it comes to shifting and accelorating and such. My husband on the other hand, at times you would think that he is in a NASCAR race. He is hard on the pedals and he is hard on the shifter. However, I don't necessarily think that this should be a key point when buying a used car.

I Dont think so... its all about feelings and their behaviour... you know what mans are.. and usually women have smoother and or softer feelings... atleast thats my point of view.

As per my observation, lady drivers seldom meet accidents maybe because they are more careful than men. They are also good in maintaining cars because they don't like it to become dirty and less presentable. So most cars owned by lady drivers are better than those owned by men.

I think that a lot of females are either totally cluesless, talking on the phone putting on make up and that is not careful or safe. Women of every age group do this. Then there are the ones who are highstrung and emotional in heavy traffic or when lost, this is also dangerous. I was once almost side swiped by a middle aged woman who was obviously overwhelmed by the traffic (which was not that bad), she was slowly and cautiously changing lanes wich makes sense theoretically. However, we were on the interstate, with a limit 75 wich meant that everyone was going at least that fast and most were going faster than that. So to brake and then slowly merge meant that people had to swerve to miss her. Not smart. See my discussion have you ever been involved in a traffic accident for more examples of this. Also a lot of females cannot parallel park, and often times because they don't have the spacial sensory acuity that men often do, it is often women swerving and braking short. And god forbid that you end up within proximity of a woman with a couple of bratty kids in the back seat. You can always tell by the swerving and braking. ONce again I sound like a total traitor to my gender, but I happen to be one who can parallel park, I don't eat, put on make up, or talk or text on my cell, and I always wear my seat belt.

As a whole, I don't think men and women drive any differently. There are good male drivers and there are good female drivers. There are bad male drivers and there are bad female drivers. I don't think your gender has any say in what type of driver you are!

I don't believe that women are more skillful. Some are; some are not. Skill usually comes with experience. Women are most frequently more patient than men. Therefore, cases of road rage can usually be attributed to men. It's not a woman who lays on her horn the very second the light turns green.

As a woman myself I would like to say yes but in all honesty I dont think gender has anything to do with how a person takes care of their vehicle. It depends on the personality. A dare-devil is going to speed all the time, a responsible person would make sure the car gets an oil change and other maintenance when needed, etc. I take good care of my car because I like it and its the right thing to do. I dont speed most of the time, I get the maintenance done, but I dont wash it as much as I probably should. Everyone is different so gender really doesnt matter, especially these days. Women can know just as much and do the work on cars if they have a real inclination to do so. i dont, but I know some who do.

No, I don't! And the science proofs it- women have a stronger marginal sight than men, and they can be absent easier and more often than men. That's why I think and KNOW, that women are not better drivers than men are!!!

I will give the lady-drivers credit to maybe driving better, especially traveling a long distance. But please keep them off the cell phones, especially at stop lights. The light changes, and some still sit there talking, and texting away.

There i would definately say NO. Unfortunately in my country some lady drivers are actually a danger to others. If they do not talk on the phone while driving, they actually do their make-up. I mean really, you should concentrate on where you are going, not what you are doing. And believe me, it is not easy for me to say all of this. But unfortunately i am not a hypocrate, and i am tired of these women doing just what they want on the roads.

Nah, I think we're worst drivers than men!! I admit it.

Hello! I think ladies drive more carefull. I am a lady driver as well but I don't hink that I drive more carefull or better than man. However, I think old people drive quite bad. They have bigger reaction time and that it quite dangerous on the road. As I am not on a road for a very long time, i hope I will imporve my skills with time and be better than any man

Yes, i think lady drivers more carefully and safely than men. especially when the baby inside the car. for lady, they will drive more slowly than man, think this is a reason more safely than men.
