right i suppose i shouldn't really comment on this seeing as i don't drive..... but i'm gonna anyways!
I think that men are more confident drivers but this does not mean that they are better . Women are more hesitant and cautious, they cause less accidents and because they are more cautios are able to stop quicker.
I even heard my dad agreeing on this!!!
Once my dog Dougal (no brains!) ran out in front of car on a really really bad road in our town and the car stopped just missing him and the car behind the first car luckily stopped in time too! My dad said at the time the dog was luck that it was a women driver otherwise the dog would have been run over. The women in the first car also said she was lucky that the driver behind her was a women driver otherwise the car would have crashed into her!
(admittedly I should have had a closer eye on the dog!
