Are men safer drivers than women? Or vice versa?
They are both nuts!!!!
I totally agree
Tell me about it NaomiR! My neighborhood too! Ya HAVE to be crazy to drive in New York or you'll never get anywhere
blondepoet, my friend and I were hit by one of those drunk drivers years ago, and I've had to just tell myself that most people live their whole, long, lives without ever having that happen. At the same time, you're right about reflexes/reaction time. I think if my friend (the driver) had been a little quicker (rather than freezing when she saw the headlights coming) she may have steered us out of the way. I don't think, though, she was someone who really kept alert about everything going on.
With the exception of the freaks that can come out of the blue, other driving is pretty much a matter of keeping in mind that preserving/gaining time and space between you and everything else is a good guide, with regard to when to let up on the gas, when to be on "higher alert" (like when you see a car that wants to come out or are in a row of stopped cars with the chance one will pull out). The more time and space you can keep around you, the more room for little things to go wrong without hitting anybody else.
I know a lot of women and men who have driven for decades without having any accidents, so I think it's more about who pays attention and has some skill, than sex. Skill comes with practice if you want it and pay attention to it. Some people don't think in terms of skill - only knowing how to move the car forward, park it, and make turns.
Thanks so much Lisa, honestly your advice has made me feel heaps better, and urges me further to get my license
My wife believes she is, or at least, she spends alot of time telling me that from the passenger seat.

Why are women weaker at tasks requiring spacial abilities (e.g. - driving)?
Lady drivers tend to face car accidents, causing minor damages to the sides of the vehicle. Is this due to their comparatively poor ability to judge the width of the vehicle?
