Driving me crazy...

Some of my male friends are hardcore fans of the phrase, "women drivers, no survivors."


I, on the other hand, do not agree. I've personally never been in a car accident. My mother would actually sleep in the car while I was driving, which she would NEVER do with my older brother.


Women, on average, pay less for their car insurance. Males tend to be a little more daring while they drive; they drive a little faster, take more sudden turns, and multitask like crazy. My boyfriend typically drives with his knee...which most females would never do (based somewhat on the fact that it is more difficult for us with our height differences).


According to an article on insurance.com, men are even more likely to die in car accidents than women. They also tend to break the law more...and speeding/wreckless driving are both breaking the law. To put it simply, women are just better drivers.


Now, if you continue reading that article, you'll notice that it starts up with some statistics of the number of aggressive women drivers increasing. That may be true. Someday, women might turn out to fall below men on the driving records. But for now, women still win. Sorry, guys.


Women: 7
Men: 0




P.S. The main guy friend who loves the phrase, "women drivers, no survivors", had a rude awakening. After continually making fun of me and other female friends, he was driving to school and as he pulled into the parking lot, he hit another guy's car. Very lightly. And his bumper fell off. Karma.
