Woman-driver - evil or not?

It doesn't matter if its man or woman as both can be complete morons.

Man causes a traffic accident - "That guy is a terrible driver!"

Woman causes a traffic accident - "Women are terrible drivers!"

Now the real question: sexist-forum-post-creator - evil or not? ;)

It usually looks like this:
Man behind wheel acting like idiot - "some people cant drive! wrrr"
Woman behind wheel acting like idiot - "women cant drive wrrr

No one starts freaking thread asking if men should drive when gets hit by male driver... Some people complain about "assholes that did this or that for no reason and crashed me", but no one ever focus on gender of driver when its a male.

Mindset of "woman cant drive because they are women" i put in same place as "woman cant be doctors/variety of other jobs that aren't nanny, maid or governess" or "women are less intelligent than men because their brain weight less".

As interesting note: you might read about self fulfilling prophecy study... soo spreading old nasty stereotypes and repeating to every poor girl , that she's doomed to be bad driver just because she wasn't born with a dick certainly isn't helping anyone.

For me, the worst aren't men or women, young or old drivers, people from one country or another, etc., but the ones who believe themselves to be better drivers than the rest, get overconfident and end up taking more risks than another person would. We are (or should be) smart enough to not fall for all these old and inaccurate stereotypes, they only create more conflict and stress among drivers and don't solve a thing.

I knew you'd be from a developing country as soon as I saw the topic title.

i experienced myself that woman tend to be less skilled in driving cars on average. They seem to be oblivious about their surroundings and dont pay much attention. The most drastic example was that one woman who should have waited at a stop sign took the right of way of my father who was on a motor bike. My father crashed into her and fell on her hood and then to the ground.

Sorry to read about your car accident.
Now, go to the kitchen and make me a sammich.

I did get into a car accident caused by a woman-driver last year as well. She didn't notice in time that traffic was jamming. Meanwhile, i see a lot of man-drivers making similar mistakes, like speeding up fast when a traffic jam slowly starts moving again. Or not noticing they are drifting into another lane while they are typing messages on their phones. People in general just don't pay enough attention in traffic.

Woman evil in general

Way to announce to all that you are a garbage human being.

Given driving performance has no relation to your sexual apparatus, the only reason sex should be a factor in appraisal of your driving capacity is if you're trying to steer with your genitals. In which case your license is usually revoked and you're forced to take up your practice in Rocket League.

Clearly it was all your fault, you are just so manly and hansome that when the woman driver glanced over at you, she couldn't help but try to get closer to you. even if it meant driving her car into yours!

Clearly the only possible solution to this is to only dive with a some sort of full body covering so you do not tempt more woman drivers into accidents!

i think idiots are idiots and both of the two and only two genders (:D) have their fair share, so nah, probably no such thing is a 'woman driver'. sure is a fun stereotype though.

I don't own a car, I can't drive, I always was indifferent to cars. Probably it's strange for a guy, but I don't care. But I am an active cyclist, 5385 km this year so far, and 95% of this was in the city on roads, never on pavements. I'm kinda "Premium Rush" guy, but more careful and with brakes. So I will share my experience on women from my point of view. Their behavior on the road is ok, yes, often they are unsure, but usually they do not create problems. Compared to taxi drivers (jackals!) and psycho rush hour office clerks they are not dangerous. The only exclusion are young and middle aged women on offroad cars. They did not pay for these cars, and they behave aggressively and stupidly. Male drivers of offroad cars are very reasonable and predictable, but not their wives. They kinda feel like alpha females only because they fuck with alphas, but they lack the needed qualities - you can't be alpha on your will. Overall, male drivers are more dangerous.

Colour me curious, how steep is your blacklist graph for the last 24 hours?

I've seen women who drive better than most men, and seen women who don't drive well, it's only a personal skill, not a matter of sex

Yes.

i cant say anything because my girlfriend drives better than me :)

Women drivers are not evil. Men drivers are not evil. Unfortunately, too many people think they can multi-task when driving whether its a phone, looking for directions or doing make up etc. People need to focus on one thing when driving but they lack the willpower or concentration to do this and inevitably, mistakes occur.

Nowadays with more vehicles on the road including cyclists, motorbikes, sand/dune buggies you need eyes in the back of your head to see everything going on around you. I've even seen a tank on the road. I'm glad I never ran or cut across one of those. :)

Why even make a poll is there is no real choice in the answers? -_-

Since this state was one of the first to legalize marijuana, it is now overpopulated with the stupidest people behind the wheel I have ever seen in my life! And it isn't just women. In recent years, I now see more female drivers talking on their cell phones; equal amount of male and female drivers looking down at their cell phone and not paying attention to the road (sadly, I have seen several male motorcyclists do this too); mostly all male drivers weaving in and out of traffic like it's the Indy 500 (highways, residential roads... doesn't matter where it is when traffic is elevated), driving on sidewalks and highway shoulders (if driving a motorcycle) and cutting people off because they're in a friggen hurry to get to the red stop light a few seconds faster; and about the same (gender-wise) of drivers charged with hit and run accidents and speeding.

Well, a woman hit my new car in an empty parking lot three weeks after I bought it. Is it a gender issue? Certainly not. But from my over 14 years of driving experience, women seem to be more prone to making driving "mistakes".

Far as I remember, women are statistically safer drivers and get lower insurance rates in some places.

I think they make great back seat drivers, well at least my wife does.
