Hey guys I am back after a long "vacation"

Yeah right... Our son Jacob was born April 25 so it's been all go go go...

Anyway

Who are better drivers, guys or girls?

Want to see what you guys think before I chime in.

I have raced V8 Development Cars, some circuit racing and have been an advanced driver trainer so I have pretty much seen it all but want to get some opinions first.

Welcome back nexxus, congrats on the new boy. I don't think that gender decides whom is the better driver, but I would tend to believe that the better drivers are the one's who pay attention to what they are doing. Not reading a map, talking on the phone etc.

Men are better drivers.

And I don't mean training to be racecar drivers -- I'm talking about basic street driving, and etiquette.

And the only acceptable answer is "TEEN'S"

Most of the tickets the teams issue for wreckles driving are over the age of 50 bolth men and women. that varrys by state but it is close

captnjack · 10-16-2009, 10:45 PM

Men but I think it has as much to do with age as with gender.

Yes, but driving slow doesn't necessarily mean driving safely. But when driving slow the accident will hurt just a litle less (physically). The driving speed has less implication when colliding your Chevy with an exotic car. That will hurt you financially!

Speaking of that ...

Rob, did you receive any compensation from (the insurance of) the woman who ran into your LP640?

FTVfanatic · 01-24-2010, 03:08 PM

Anoree, that accident was exactly the one I had in my mind when I wrote about "a Chevy colliding with an exotic". I just didn't recall it was a Huyndai! LOL

Anyways, it was truly sad to see the silver LP 640 being written-off so soon. Way too soon!

There's an old joke about men having more accidents... and women causing more accidents.

Don't look at me funny - I didn't make the joke.
