And what is the breakdown of driving time among those groups? If men account for 75% of the driving time (for example) and account for 62% of the tickets, they would still better drivers even though they recieved the bulk of the tickets. Same deal with teens versus the rest. Teens overall probably account for a fairly small percentage of overall driving time, so 8% of tickets may actually be a huge number

You can't take a statistic like the one you gave and look at it in isolation because it doesn't have a reference point (which would be relative driving time) to judge it by.

I'm surprised that men were that low in percentage of given tickets. I talked to a cop, and he said that a lot of women get off of the hook solely for being cute (He doesn't do it though). Men are ugly, (yes I am ugly) so we have a higher risk of getting a ticket.

that is the reason we have male and female in each vec. If they pull over a guy the guy gives the ticket if it is a girl the girl gives it. And everything is on video too.

Sounds like profiling to me.

Wow, a lot of generalising!

From my experience as a driver trainer, women are better drivers, at least young women are. Why? They listen and learn, we had a 85% failure rate on 18-25 yr old guys and a 52% failure rate among girls in the same age group, now keep in mind this was not an easy course.

Often we'd drive around a purpose built open area on asphalt, which had been watered (to simulate a wet road) and the instructor without warning was to yank the wheel and the student would need to safely stop the skid.

The amount of times I heard from guys "Oh my car would be fine, not like this piece of s.. Hyundai"

But if you can't handle a skid in a car with 50kw, heaven help you in a car 3 times as powerful.

A lot of drivers can drift onto a gravel shoulder on a road and the reflex action is to try and pull the car back onto the road abruptly, worst bloody thing you can do.

What makes a bad driver IMO is attitude firstly. If you believe you're an awesome driver chances are you're not.

I've done years of driver training, and I still think I can learn more. Perfect driver? Nope. Not even close. But I know enough to drive with the assumption that every other motorist has the potential to cause an accident at any time, and to drive aware and within my limits.

Well i'd like to think men are generally better drivers, but my sister and Niece are in my opinion excellent drivers and yet my Nephew is definately not a good driver. Because he does drive fast and usually brakes late, occasionally braking hard so i'm thrown forward. His braking time is quite bad and just doesn't give himself time considering the traffic condition. Many times i have had a go at him about his braking style, i've even changed places with him to show him you don't have to slam the brakes to slow or stop. Pointing out you can stop by easing off the accerator and a little dab of brakes is quite suffient. He's just got that boy racer attitude which i hope will wear off soon. But i really wouldn't like to say which gender are the better drivers. I have seen bad drivers of both genders many a time on my travels.

Max · 11-28-2009, 07:24 AM

I'm going to say men, I may seem sexist, but if I had a car, I would NEVER let a woman drive it, she can ride in it, but if she wants to learn how to drive it, too bad. I get yelled at for calling a girl a dumb *** for texting and driving, and all I have to say is I really don't care how you make a baby, if you text and drive you are a dumb ***. I already could use 3 arms to go into a turn, why would I want to have to need a 4th, you have to throw down the phone every 3 seconds, and you can't watch the road. Less men text and drive, therefore, I must say men are better drivers.
