Women are better drivers than men :)
Famed composer Irving Berlin captured the battle between the sexes quite succinctly in his legendary song "I Can Do Anything Better Than You" from the 1946 Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun." Gunslingers Annie Oakley (Ethel Merman) and Frank Butler (Ray Middleton) lyrically debated who could shoot more accurately: she or he? But what they were really fighting about was which sex is the more capable: man or woman? That same argument has been waged many times, about many topics over the years. But no gender-related discussion has been more heated than the one that rages behind the wheel. So who are better drivers: men or women?
The Answer Is ...
In a recent study released by Quality Planning, an analytics company that validates policyholder information for auto insurers, women came out on top (sorry guys).
The study analyzed different kinds of vehicle code violations (traffic violations) and then compared how many times men were cited versus women. The conclusion was that men break more traffic laws and drive more dangerously than women. Because they violate laws designed to make the roads safer, men cause more accidents and expensive damage.

first of all, being a woman, i DISAGREE.. i think women are awful drivers.
secondly, nite_rider.. you are blantently insulting JD by using that pic as your avatar!
the bases of Quality Planning results has definitely of irrelevant bases for the thread's title.

Men have about 5% more violations. This is probably caused by men getting irritated by slower female drivers :)
I would agree that men tend to drive more recklessly than women.
one last thing. I recall reading somewhere that me have more accidents because they drive longer distances as a whole than women.
common sense mate..woman drive like a turtle, thats why!

well it depends on what you mean by driving...all this article tells me is that women can follow rules better than men (which i think is already pretty well known).
whatever........
Pit, the study is about WOMEN. And yes, women are better drivers as we don't need to show off how fast, dangerous, reckless we can drive, we're not as aggressive as men and we think of safety first. At least the majority of women. Then there is a special category, Middle Eastern drivers. They didn't make it into the survey coz they don't drive, they do stunts on the road.
Yes pit, we see that the inability to use a R/A in Qatar is gender and nationality based lol.
Men here are far more reckless than in the West, just goes to show.
