Females passing their driving test???????.
When the test was initially prepared for a person to pass the test, did they lower the standards so that females could pass as well
or
Are the testers allowed to take into account that if the are testing a female then he can make "allowances" for her
I find it quite strange that just as many females pass as do males, and yet most don't know how to drive properly.
What's your opinion??
All female responses will be ignored on the basis of I'm not interested in your opinion because it doesn't count anyway
Particularly when you say your insurance is lower than men. That's because on average men probably do many many more miles than a woman would do anyway, so longer on the road means more risk.
Oh amd also you drive small cars so they don't go very fast to help you control that wheely thing in front of you.
Thanks
Should be interesting reading!!
Answers:
your a jerk!
Some girls can drive but they are in a minority. They are a danger on the road and should have big orange lights on their cars to let us proper drivers know they are near.
You are gonna get some abuse for asking this question!!
I can drive my husband can't why because he doesnt want to be seen with a L plate .
my brother crashed car me no accidents you didnt want women to answer i dont care your a dick !
ummm sexist to say the least.. I have been driving well over 20 years, and have driven minis to combine harvesters..you can ignore this but hey fella, highest RTA incidences, drink driving are MEN..
BIG T-I-T-S GET PEMITS

oh .go crash ur car in2 a big brick wall.thanx
How can you tell Asian drivers moved into your neighborhood? The Mexicans get auto insurance!!
I drive a Tahoe (I'm only 5'2") and drive better then a lot of guys I know. I would also like to state that they don't lower the standards for us during a driving test. I hit the curb so i had to take it again. That is the only thing I did wrong during my test. But I must admit i suck at parallel parking so I just don't do it. I find it much easier to walk further then hit someone.
I passed my test by wearing a short skirt - the old git examiner was too busy foaming at the mouth to bother about mistakes.
Apparently you haven't been paying much attention to the other drivers around you. Men drive just as badly as women. Aggressive driving, speeding, no-signal lane changes, cell phone yacking with head up ***. You name it, men do it, just as much as the women. I'm a truck driver and I have been hundreds of thousands of miles. I have also seen female truck drivers who can drive well enough to embarrass the men.
Sexist little moron. Who needs to belittle women to feel better about yourself. I'm sure your just one of those over confident male drivers that actually just drives too fast and are a danger on the roads, women are better drivers full stop! Answered your question just to get the points loser!
This is the only time you'll ever hear me say anything sexist. I am scared to death of women drivers.
I have been in 3 car accidents. My first one, I was a passenger.
The other 2, I was sitting still and got rear-ended. One of those times, I was on a perfectly straight highway waiting to turn. I had my lights on, even though the sun was still up. I had my turn signal on yet, she "didn't see me". I don't understand how she couldn't, I'd been waiting for the oncoming traffic to pass for more than 2 minutes.
I constantly complain about this because I had to pay so much more for car insurance than these women. One of which totalled 4 cars before she graduated high school. That's quite a few, considering you typically only drive for 2 to 2 1/2 years of it.
They say that young men are more apt to drive recklessly. That MAY be, they do on occassion drive stupidly, a show of the cars' power, or just to show off. But, women tend to drive passively-recklessly all the time.
I think you will find women's insurance is cheaper because they have less and cause less accidents then men. Men driving is more dangerous then women's. Most men can't drive either, its all just a stereotype. I passed first time my brother didn't! I drive a small car because I can't afford a bigger one at the moment, how do you explain men driving small sports cars! Apart from them needing to make up for something else. Yes some women cant drive but there are as many equal men that can't either.
I've tooted my own horn on here before about my driving. Wide variety of vehicles, many countries, 23 years, clean licence, no accidents, some good motorsport. I can honestly say, the prescence or abscence of male genitals has nothing, but nothing to do with driver skill. I have seen some woeful male driving, and some excellent women drivers, yet every month or so, I see someone really not singing from the same hymn sheet as the rest of us. They can be either male, female, young or old. My best friends' wife drives far better than him, and faster too!
Well that was a dumb question
Thanks for the two points
I find the question offensive as women are as good at driving as men.
Im a male and today a male driver cut me on the roundabout, as he went in the left lane (outside) and went right round the roundabout.
Last week a male driver just pulled out of a junction, lucky I had brakes that work- blind bastard
I think that the types of bad driving exhibited by the different genders tend to be different, not more or less by either gender, just different.
Men are more regularly drive at excessive speed, are generally more likely to perform dangerous manoeuvres, generally more likely to be "aggressive drivers" tail gating and more likely to be caught drink driving. They also tend to have crashes at much higher speeds than women so the crashes are more likely to be fatal and cause serious damage.
Women are more likely to have low speed collisions something someone once explained to me as "kiss parking" when the car is revered until it hits something, more likely to hit at low speed stationary objects such as low bollards, it is possible to have many more of such accidents before killing yourself or being unable to find someone to insure you. They generally drive more cautiously / nervously which may cause accidents which will often not be considered their fault.
This is a very broad generalisation but borne out by accident statistics.
Who are better drivers depends what you mean, if its ability to limit carnage on the roads its women. If its technical co-ordination and spatial awareness and ability to handle a large machine even if the two little brains downstairs take control of the big one upstairs too often then its men.
Females have lower insurance rates because it's very rare if ever, to see females doing donuts, drag racing on the streets or committing road rage like males are famous for.
Women aren't powered by testosterone and don't feel the need to drive huge vehicles to compensate for being phallically challenged or having emotional issues. Subconsciously, what they're doing is saying "don't look at me, look at my vehicle instead".
Women, unlike men, can actually talk on a cell phone and maintain their vehicle's speed. Why? Because only women can use both sides of their brain at once; whereas men can only use one side at a time. This is a fact - look it up.
Driving test standards aren't lowered for anyone, regardless of gender or physical disability. Either one passes the test or not.
I've seen as many, if not more, men than women do idiotic things behind the wheel. Before you condemn an entire gender for being terrible drivers, go to a good source who sees both - the police. Walk up to an officer and ask which gender they cite the most for unsafe driving habits. Try not to be too shocked when they tell you that it's males, not females.
BTW, the "wheely thing" you describe is called a steering wheel. I hope I was able to give you the correct name for the wheely thing you use for making your parent's car go around corners.
i have seen with my own eyes many times that a womens co-ordination when it comes to parking is abismal, but women generaly are a more cautious driver than a man. men do take more risks but that is down to aggression.
and women your insurance is lower because you do have less accidents than men theres no denying that.. but i cant help but thinking that the cause of most accidents is down to women who drive off unaware of the accident they have just caused by there own carelessness
so do you think your own mother does not know how to drive ?
Have you ever heard of equal opportunities, it's were those of the opposite sexes can have a go at achieving whatever want; I think your being too harsh in suggesting standards are lowered for a female when taking their driving test.
Admittedly if a female uses sex appeal with an instructor to gain pointers for passing her exam who are we to judge, let alone know, at the end of the day were all only human yet would like to think an examiner is being a professional in his/her duties.
However looking at the way most people drive today here in London I'm not surprised at the amount of accidents’ caused by plain ignorance and lack of common courtesy especially on a narrow hill; I was led to believe there was a gentleman’s agreement when it comes to vehicles travelling up hill to those travelling down hill; those travelling down hill give way to those travelling up in where its too narrow for both vehicles to pass. Pity the younger generation no longer consider it and hate to say women drivers are the most ignorant of the so called agreement.
The government should bring a drivers attitude into the theory exam to be more vigorous coz those passing a driving test these days have the thinking span of a fish.
On a whole men are the better driver, overall, obviously my wife denies that coz she just gave me a thick ear after reading this over my shoulder; have to state she’s had 4 more accidents that I have the last being with another woman, neither would be courteous I wonder why.
There really are no physical differences between men and women that need to be taken into account for driving. I have been doing driver's education and Traffic School in Arizona for 5 years, and I have more men than women in my class consistently. Women tend to have more accidents nationwide then men, but men die more. Overall, I think I would prefer to live.
And your assumptions are mostly incorrect - women drive just as well as men, and insurance is now pretty equal for both genders.
However, men tend to be more aggressive drivers and are more likely to drive while impaired than women, so I would have to say the women are doing a better job.
Sorry to bust your bubble.
just as many fella's as women out there who should never have passed the test.
my opinion is Ur a sexiest prat
I think you just posted this to annoy women so I may report you.
Ignorant F*cker.
Just for your information I drive 44miles a day and my partner drives 4. I have the big car and he has the small one. I passed my driving test first time and although he did, 5 people I know didn't - all male! So there.
I agree that some female drivers are rubbish, but then so are men. Everything is equal.
