Because men like to be in control.

On the whole I find women are more careful/cautious drivers.

Re: Now, Who are better drivers ? Men or Women

Men are better drivers, women are safer drivers.

The thinnest book ever written was "Famous Female Formula One Drivers".

But then again, I am sure insurance actuaries will tell you women make less fatal and massive accidents.

How about this question?
I know men who like for a woman to drive them around, (happened even to me, even though I am a bit of a wild driver,
not unsafe at all, just a bit wild you know )

Sure! It allows me to enjoy the scenery a bit.

As long as you don't talk to them...they get easily distracted.

Re: Now, Who are better drivers ? Men or Women

I watched watched a program on T.V the other day and they said women drivers are the best because they are more careful. Men are more busy looking around and using mobile phones e.t.c. ( please don't shoot the messenger)

Why aren't the moderators deleting this trash? I thought they were starting to run a tighter ship around here. Head over to shooting the cheese if you want to engage in mindless banter.

deleting this trash? I am sure there is worse trash served up here than discussing male/female drivers ...

Re: Now, Who are better drivers ? Men or Women

Men are better drivers for the simple reason that "most" enjoy driving and/or consider it to be an important aspect of masculinity hence they take greater interest in it. I can 80% of the time guess if a woman or a man is driving depending on the behaviour of the car. Women do not "think ahead" when they drive or "think of others". They tend to be selfish drivers. Most common complaint is not using turn signals... which proves my point. It's a lot of small things... like stopping too far in front of a stop line forcing me to drive around them (on cross streets).

However just to show that I am not a sexist beast (just sexy beast really) I will admit that women naturally make better fighter pilots due to their higher proportion of body fat which allows them to withstand higher G forces (it's not for nothing they have the G spot). Hence why all Russian fighter pilots look like cuddly bears and not like muscled up US pilot jocks.

Re: Now, Who are better drivers ? Men or Women

Most of my men friends have been given a vacation by the Swiss from their drivers licenses'... but according to them, without exception, they are all excellent drivers.

Re: Now, Who are better drivers ? Men or Women

Right, well, found where I can let off some belated steam...

An X5 driver tried to kill me yesterday. I drive a VW Passat TDI, thank you GOD for turbo.... that's for sure. Anyway, on the new exit to the Autobahn from Lachen, I was driving "zügig" as one should and the very small peni*ed (I expect xxxxxx's here for this word) X5 driver decided that he has more PS than me - sorry mate I won! - and decided to give it welly to try to block me getting on the rainy Autobahn before him. Right, well, I won that one and boy did it peeve the poor guy off.... Am currently thinking of SATC (S and the city for you men who don't know) where Samantha was complaining of having to be satisfied by a guy with the size of a wiener.... anyway. This must have been the guy...

He then, as I indicated to actually go left ONTO the A'bahn drove right beside me and at the end of the lane (thankfully no wall) he braked, so I couldn't get onto the A'bahn and had to drive over the safety line....

Now as we once discussed here, being a nervous driver might have meant I might have crashed, killed myself, killing others along with me. But thankfully, I always keep my calm and I waited and then drove on when safe.. Where are the cops when you need them. Maybe it irked him that all I could do was laugh at him... maybe he wanted to see a scared face... the complete toad brained wan*er!! If I had been the chick beside him - and there was one - I would have left him instantly, cause there is an accident waiting to happen... and he has a small Pe*is, so he MUST have tons of dosh for her to stay with such a sad specimen... and the fact that he needs some serious anger management...

anyway if one of you by chance happen to be that driver... get help......do yourself and the rest of mankind a favour..... get a bicycle...

Thank you for letting me have a rant..... not only CD can rant ;-)

Let me understand this correctly.

He was behind you on the on ramp, you both accelerated to filter into the traffic, but he came from behind, pulled out into the autobahn slow lane and then blocked you from getting in?

or

He was already on the autobahn, saw you come from the entrance ramp and accelerated alongside you as you were trying to filter into the traffic?
