The fact of the matter is that we are all fallable humans who have the capacity to make mistakes. There is no proof that women are worse drivers just as there is no proof that men are better or worse. Not to get all feminist, but that "women are bad drivers" is just a really ignorant statement to make.

And as a male, I'd just like to say how glad I am of that. Big fan. (Forgive me for that one; I couldn't resist)
I strongly believe that if stupidity were a sin there are a lot of people who would burn in hell. I've seen plenty of women putting on makeup, talking on the cell phone and just generally driving like complete idiots. I've also seen just as many men who drive as though the streets are their personal racetrack because wherever they're going has GOT to be more important than where I'm going, and I've seen plenty of men looking at the fairer sex and almost crash into other vehicles and/or immovable objects (Been guilty of that one myself...go figure).
Let's look at the people who are REALLY to blame for road rage and accidents: The elderly! They should be forbidden to drive anything bigger than a compact car, and said car should be made entirely of Nerf.
There's an opinion that means nothing. Sorry...off my meds and bored.

heh.... my girlfriend has rear ended people 4 times in the past(shes drives an SUV) another friend of mine has been in 2 accidents, she drives an SUV as well. My Monte Carlo was backed into by a woman driving an Excursion, my car was parked.... my mom drives a HHHHeep Lerado, backed into a dumpster. Def some truth in that statement.

My personal experience has been that men are riskier drivers while women are either worse drivers or more distracted drivers. This is a loose rule of course. My friend Joe is possibly the most absent minded drivers I have driven with. It is actually scary at times. My grandma is an excellent driver on the other hand.

I'm an awesome driver. And, I've had my parked car backed into by a man whose truck was "too big to see" so I fail to see how it could possibly just be women. You guys just have bad luck, maybe you should teach your girlfriends how to apex a turn instead of complaining.

Finally, a view that isn't biased. Thank you.
