I'm baaaak so who are better drivers? Guys or Girls

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.

I think women and old people are the two worse of the questions being asked. While I will agree that younger people and texting is a horrible thing to do while driving, the fact is they are still more likely to see you then old people.

While on my motorcycle, I seem to find that women and older people seem to see me the least. Women seem to be more the type that will just pull out in front of you, while old people just seem to have no clue what's going on around them and will switch lines even if your there.

But as with anything this is all subjective. I'm sure there are great women drivers and horrible men drivers.

Well i would guess it's problably about equal for good and bad drivers of both sexes. the debate on who the better drivers male or female will go on til the end of existence lol.

If I ever break it will be in traffic. When the person in front of me cuts me off, and I've just put the car into gear I am going to reach into my glovebox and shoot her, because it usually is a woman (because most of them can't figure out that I'm in a manual, and can't drive one) doing something like that is just stupid, stay in your lane in traffic, I can't stand it when people don't.

Seems to me that if I read your post correctly, that YOU being out in traffic and driving a car that you are not qualified to drive, makes you the stupid one.

No, I'm just saying that it pisses me off, I know how to drive. No matter what car I'm in, I hate it when people can't decide what lane to be in while in traffic, I'm just saying it is more frustrating, when you've put the car into gear, and started to move, when someone cuts you off, and you have to slam on the brakes

Driving a car from A to B is easy.
The real challenge is to do it while thinking for the one in front of you and for the one back from you, too. And for the ones on the lines beside you. You've got to be allways ready to hit the brakes.

Speaking of braking, while coming back from Austria I followed two cars driving at about 100 mph, when we approached a group of cars passing some trucks. (We've got to pass on the left lane here in Germany.)
Somehow, the accordeon effect hit full blast and I had to slam on the breaks to slow down from about 85 mph to 50 within a second. I left about 15 yards of gum on the left lane. Talk about a wakeup call.

It doesn't matter if you have XX or XY chromosomes. Both types do stupid things.

Thinking of it, I've seen more guys driving one-handed with the cellphone at their ear than I've seen women do that. That's a thing I can't understand. Bluetooth earplugs are available for half a tank full of fuel these days. If you've got to speak on the phone while driving use one of those, for heaven's sake!

Err ... sorry for the rant.

Just saw the stupidest male driver ever, i popped out during lunchbreak to get a bite to eat and i'm following this Jaguar S-type R, thinking that's a nice car. Then i notice the guy is actually on his mobile and i could see a police car parked in a layby a little further up. So i'm thinking this guys gonna hang up, no, he carries on chatting. I slow down slightly knowing the police are gonna hopefully pull out when they see this stupid guy chatting on his phone, and sure enough they flash me to signal their pulling out just as the guy passes them. Quick turn of the siren and he pulls over. The stupidest part was when i passed this guy and the police, he was still chatting on the phone!, unbelievable!!!. Are nice looking Jaguar S-type R's except from road laws?, bloody hope not! lol.
