It depends on the woman. I know a few who are very good drivers, and I know a few who could have been driving both of those cars...

Notice how almost no one in those videos are from the southern tier of the U.S.

A lot of women are inconsiderate drivers. I can't count the number of times that I was trying to pull onto a main street from a driveway or side street, and a woman driver stopped right in front of me when there were no other cars behind them. And they know they are being inconsiderate because they stare straight ahead lest you throw them the finger. Same thing happens on expressways as women will never slow down to let you merge.

Guys generally are much more accommodating on the roadways.

Of course not all women are like this but I'd say a majority are.

I think it depends on where you live. I live in metro-Atlanta and work just off 285. I've seen more than my fair share of awful male drivers. There was an accident just off my ramp a month ago where a male driver rear-ended another male driver. Dude hops out of his car while traffic is rushing by to scream at him.

Since I posted this two women have let me into traffic. Oh well, I'll retract my post. Ha ha.

A have some expertise in this subject, at least when it comes to novice drivers. Speaking in general terms, with definite exceptions, the best drivers are girls. Specifically white girls. Boys think they can drive, but as often as not their opinion of their abilities far exceeds their actual skill level. The worst drivers tend to be black girls. That said I had the **** scared out of me with an autistic white girl this summer and one of my best drivers was a black girl.

From the time I have spent driving across the country, I would have to say that the worst drivers are people that drive Prius. I used to drive an armored truck and I would say at least 3-4 times a day I would get cut off or have one drift into my lane. Worst case being a lady driver that decided to jam on her brakes with me behind her to let a group of cars onto the highway. Almost rolled the truck trying to avoid hitting her and the other cars.

i live in the hood, and people in the hood drive like crazy. if someone isn't honking at you because you're only driving the speed limit or making sure the coast is clear before you make a turn, they're driving like hell just to slow down five seconds down the road. it certainly doesn't seem fiscally responsible. i hate paying for gas, so i drive just slow or fast enough to ensure i see the pump as little as possible and coast whenever i can. i stay in the slow lanes and go the speed limit, except if i'm out west in a rental. that's just too fun to pass up

and i guess during driver's ed i missed the part about mandatory rubbernecking. i hate rubberneckers with a passion. "why the f*ck is the traffic stopped. oh, oh sh!t. that guy got pulled over by a policeman. interesting."

Many women do not seem to even understand the basic of which way to turn the wheel in backing up.

I work for an insurance company...yesterday, we were reviewing our loss experience in the state of Washington for our personal auto business. The experience for women was roughly twice as bad as the experience for men. Makes you think....

Women typically have worse depth perception, judge of distance and bad sense of direction. They just aren't visual people like men.

Enjoy.

How do Korean women rate?
