I guess women are better drivers than men. Coz men dont concentrate on their driving as much as the women does. The Women are more cautious,careful, dont hoon around and dont show off. According a research it was found that the "women were far better at being able to shift their attention from one stimulus to another, making it easier for them to perform the everyday actions like driving." Also women are safe drivers as compared to men. Thats why women have lower car insurance rates...lol What are views guys??

Oops - Would a woman be more likely to cause this or a man? Who knows? It's all subjective...
I think it’s all subjective at the end of the day. My husband thinks I drive too fast and I think he drives too slow. I’ve been driving for 23 years now with a clean license and no accidents (where the blame was attributed to me). Saying that, the two occasions where I’ve been hit when stationary (once behind a bus and once at a pedestrian crossing) were both caused by female drivers (who both happened to be French)! I personally know several male drivers who I wouldn’t feel safe when they’re driving as well as female drivers. In general women do tend to be more cautious which is why some companies offer cheaper insurance for female drivers but I wouldn’t actually say all of us women drivers are the safest or better drivers.:)

Yeah anonymili your views are similiar to mine. I also think women are better driver than men. The women driver are safer than men. The main thing behind their better driving is their concentration. The women concentration is better than that of men. I being a men, believe that women are better than men in driving matter.

Well, I'm not a guy, but I think it depends on the person rather than the gender. For example, my 24 year old son has never had a ticket or an accident and has been driving since he was 16. My twenty-one year old daughter, however, had four speeding tickets and a failure to stop at a stop sign ticket in the first three years of her driving, as well as two accidents.

Yeah i agree with you to certain extent, that it depends upon the person rather than the gender. But if we look at the statistical figures of accidents. We can certainly find that the women are better driver than the men. Thanks for responding. I've rated ur response.

It depends, i think. men can also be a better drivers if they are more responsible of their driving. some are not that good because some men are drunk while driving, thus there are lots of accidents on roads brought about by unresponsible driver. women could also better because women are more careful when it comes to driving. i think, i haven't hear that one woman who drives that is drunk..

"women were far better at being able to shift their attention from one stimulus to another, making it easier for them to perform the everyday actions like driving." i think girls are safe drivers than men.they always obey traffic rules.they will not drive in over speed which saves fuel as well as prevent accident. so girls are best,by all means!
