Dont Mean This To Be Sexist In Any Way

[nailit]

But are women really just rubbish drivers?

The above is from my local newspaper. (watch the vid)
Ive been in a car on several occasions with a female driver and each and every time Ive been anxious about been a passenger because of the way that they drive.
It seems obvious that the difference between the way that male and female brains are 'wired' that we would have different ways of doing things, but are there any studies about such things as driving? BTW over the xmas period I was nearly run over by a female driver half way over a zebra crossing who obviously wasn't looking where she was going. (and not for the first time)
Not meant in anyway as a slight on females, more an observation that we all have different capabilities,
(read something once about spatial awareness differences between male/ females but cant remember much about it)

The Male of the species are more prone to sweeping generalisations.;-)

[nailit]

Shouldn't be hard for you to provide a link then then Islay?

I've provided a link to a study for you, nailit.

//The Male of the species are more prone to sweeping generalisations.;-)//
And if that had been posted by a male with the words ''the female of the species'' How would that have been percieved?

I find that wimmin drivers are at their most irrational and intimidating when they leave the car to mount their high horse. :-)

[Mamyalynne]

I give up, am off.

[jno]

can I get you a proper male driver, mamya?

[nailit]

jno, thank you for the link,
will have a look now. That's all I asked for, some studies of such things but instead got the likes of Islay getting on their high horse.

dougie, 'wimmin' is good for yer elf. Takes ages to get the chlorine smell out yer hair tho.

I'm a rubbish passenger, not too bad if I sit behind the driver - irrespective of their sex.

[Mamyalynne]

I'll walk it Jno.

//I give up, am off. //
Of course you are. You've been asked a question that you wont answer.

albs was ready to sit on the car roof when I met her at Edinburgh Waverley and took her down to the crem in Leith for nungate's service. It was wet and windy as well.....

[Islay]

If you had asked ' is there any evidence supporting the incidents that I have witnessed' then I would happily provide some, but instead you came out with a load of sexist ***! So no look for the link yourself!

[nailit]

Islay, have you had any therapy for ur paranoia?
Sexist? Seriously? Are you denying that there are differences between the male and female brain? Get a grip woman!

[Islay]

nailit regarding your last comment I could be really rude but I won't because I like to use the brain in my head!
Yes men and women use their brains in different ways but that does not make men better at driving which you would have discovered had you done a bit of research before you posted such a stupid statement!!

[Jahulaye]

Where do we put transgenders on this scale who were born male but are female inside and vice versa?

[albaqwerty]

Dt, I'm always windy but do try to not to be too wet :-D xxx

[Mamyalynne]

I made a joke based on what had been said and added a 'wink' - I do of course regret that, had not taken into account that we are in a serious topic ( which was remiss of me) and you wanted scientific replies.

[nailit]

So Islay, you got nothing to add, nothing to say, no links to give?
OK! Just posted to say that I have made a stupid statement then?
It was a perfectly legit question but you take offence, ur choice.

Evening, Naillit....hope you've had a Christmas you've enjoyed...

The best drivers I know are women.....the worst drivers I know are women......

Men tend to think they can drive well naturally and don't make enough effort to drive really well......so most I know are okay drivers but nothing to write home about....

I know two other women who, like me, are advanced drivers......don't know any men but I'm sure some will pop up here to put me in my place....:-)
