Women. why are they still allowed to drive? there would be a lot less accidents if they were at home!?
Answers:
Last time I worked in Saudi women were not allowed to drive, I don't think things have changed since!
It's all to do with small brain capacity and those hormone things!
Yes I agree with you they should be kept off the road, for every ones sake, my wife is not safe using the vacuum cleaner, I have to keep moving my feet out of the way!!
Hope this helps?/
Wondering why you're allowed to ask questions.
actually, women are much safer drivers than men, if you are intent on generalising - that is why insurance quotes for boys learning to drive are much higher than for girls learning to drive.
You really are looking to get cussed out aren't you !
if that is the case how come women have lower car insurance? women claim insurance a great deal less than men thats why there are women-only insurance companies.
There are men, especially old ones that shouldn't drive either! Sounds to me you blame women for alot of things that bother you.I guess that is the easiest way for you!
I've been driving for 7 years and I've never got into an accident. My fiance, who has been driving for about 5 years and yet is 3 years older than me, has been in 8; totaling 2 cars, the rest fender benders and such.
It's not the matter of who is driving, it's the matter of if you can drive.
We men are bad drivers when we become aggressive but women do some of the most amazingly stupid things that I have seen in 30 years of driving. My common complaint is that they assume too much and expect the world to be able to anticipate their unpredictable behavior. They drive in their own little world.
Very droll. Just take a look at the statistics. I rest my case.
whatever. im sure if that was the case the government would have done something to ban women drivers by now.
ive just had to ban my mrs from driveing my car cos she has run my car into the ground ragged it she has it sounds like a sherman tank now but thats my mrs all round women drivers are safer its the boy racers that cause the most damage and round here you get girl racers aswell and insurence is cheaper for women not because they are safe drivers but because there are less of them on our roads
You are so funny!
Women have the same rights as men. How would you have been able to been picked up when you were a school age child at school when you were sick if Mommy did not come and get you? How would single mother's around the world get to work and take their children to the doctor and other must be places? Bus routes do not go every where and taxi service is too high!
I think if you ask any insurer women are classed as safer drivers than men. It has been proved women cause less accidents. SO THERE!!!
**** you!! the problem is not women, its the guys that are always being so supresive to them
wondering why you're still allowed to breath, there would be a lot more oxygen for the rest of us if you just quit.
You're quite right, there would be fewer accidents - but if men were banned, there would be fewer still.
Well, i have driven more more then 20 years and the 2 accidents I had where 2 male chauvinist ..trying to pass and hit me from behind. .so please .This is the 20th century..we woman run the world and next .you will see Hillary Clinton run for presidency.ha..
well.. i agree that if women stayed at home, accident rates would fall dramatically. no, not because girls are bad drivers. but because of , in that case, morons like you would concentrate on the road and the car instead of looking at a superb hotty walking in the sidewalk.. or driving the car next to yours.
women are irresistable! admit it!!
Yaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnn.
your mum stayed at home but still had an accident, you!
Why are you allowed on the computer? Mama needs to get the Children software !
Argue all you want; however you'd be hard-pressed to find documented proof that men are superior to women as drivers. But make no mistake – gender certainly does impact driving habits and insurance industry observers believe that issue manifests in other ways, too. That's a point driven home by insurance executives such as David Snyder, who acknowledges that most car insurancecompanies take into account a driver's gender in determining policy pricing.
"The weight in pricing varies from company to company and by claims experience over time, but, for example, with all other factors being equal, a female between the ages of 18 and 25 would pay less than her male counterpart because as a rule younger women drivers have fewer accidents and moving violations than males in the same age group,” says Snyder, vice president and assistant general counsel of the American Insurance Association, in Washington, D.C.
The only time gender has a bearing on car insurance rates involves young drivers, says Carolyn Gorman, vice president of the Washington, D.C. office of the Insurance Information Institute (III). Young males, between the ages of 16 to 25, typically pay more than females in their age group, because "many young men are more likely to show daredevil tendencies in their driving because of factors such as emotional immaturity and misplaced feelings of immortality," Gorman pointed out.
Many auto insurance industry experts would agree with the theory that males, especially young men, tend to drive more aggressively than women and display their aggression in a direct manner, rather than indirectly. Furthermore, as a rule of thumb, male drivers are more likely than women to break the law, and the male of the species tends to be more of a risk-taker.
So… let's see what the statistics have to say about drivers, in terms of males vs. females. Figures compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) show that more men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes, figures that drew explanatory comments from various insurance industry observers such as Russ Rader of IIHS, in Arlington, Va., and Tully Lehman, of the Insurance Information Network of California (IINC).
"Men typically drive more miles than women and engage more often in risky driving practices including not using a safety belt… and speeding," according to Rader, spokesman for IIHS, in Arlington, Va. "This is due to the fact that men typically drive more miles and exhibit often risky driving practices such as driving while intoxicated, not wearing a seatbelt and speeding," said Lehman.
On the flip-side, IIHS also reported that from 1975 to 2003, female deaths in motor vehicle crashes increased 14 percent compared to an 11 percent decline for male motorists during that same period. Insurance industry executive Daniel W. Kummer pegs the rise in female deaths in vehicular crashes to more women obtaining driver's licenses than in the past and driving more miles than, say, 25 years ago.
"We're also seeing women driving more aggressively, picking up that bad habit from their male counterparts," points out Kummer, director of personal lines-auto for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI), an insurance trade organization based in Illinois. Kummer believes that there are more women drivers, because more females hold down jobs today than a quarter-century ago. "All these factors lead to more deaths among women drivers and their auto insurance costs are rising in direct proportion to their accident and death rates from crashes."
"Reckless driving used to be the province of male drivers as opposed to women," says III's Carolyn Gorman. "We're seeing more and more examples these days of women driving aggressively and exhibiting road rage, which represent poor behavior behind the wheel."
"If trends continue as the data suggest," said IINC's Tully Lehman, "you could start seeing a closing of the gap of car insurance rates between male and female drivers, but for the time being at least, the gap will still remain much as it is today."
