    Seriously. Guys may be more reckless, but girls seem to LOOOOOVE having their cell phone in one hand, talking or worse, texting away while driving, something I rarely see guys do (the texting, that is). A couple of weeks ago, I saw a girl on campus driving the wrong direction on the roundabout, text messaging away.

    Of all the really smurfing stupid and dangerous things that someone could do, it's endangering yourself and everyone around you because you can't just wait to send your stupid mini e-mails.

    A few days ago I was driving behind a girl who was drinking water while driving. Now that's normal, but she did it out of a bottle while tilting her freaking head backwards so far she was staring at the ceiling, swerving over both sides of the road as she did.. dangerous *****.

    Another girl I know drives in 2 inch heels, and I'm guessing she isn't the only one.

    Dang...

    I feel like a dangerous driver know. I do a bunch of crazy things while I drive.

    Then again. I am a young male. I'm actually surprised I have yet to get in an accident that was my fault.

    Oh and to stay on topic. Skin Bars.
    Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    I drive in 3 1/2 inch heels. I don't see how that makes a difference. Some of the worst driver's I've seen are men in big trucks who think they don't have to obey the simplest rules of the road such as using their signals and not even looking to see if anyone is behind them. I've seen many of these.

    I don't get why people are soiling over statistics. They really do show that young men suck ass at driving. I'm sure you are the exception of course.

    Anyway. Prostitutes are a total rip off. I don't get why you'd pay an ugly person to do something that you can get a hot person to do for free.

    That's because everyone in america drives automatic, which a trained monkey could drive.

    You can't drive clutch in 3 1/2 inch heels, at least not in the small cars we have here. The heel interferes with the peddles, causing them to get stuck, block the foot, etc.

    I doubt the cars in the US have the same problem, seeing as they are usually big ass cars.

    And I agree on the truck thing, but the same counts for women driving trucks.

    Men are more than twice as likely to die in a car crash than women, consider the yearly statistics shown below. In fact, studies have shoiwn as many as 73 percent of all people killed in car accidents are male. Since record keeping began: male fatalities significantly outweigh female fatalities. However men and women do not drive the same number of miles under the same conditions- men do about 60-65% more driving than women. Studies show that woman take shorter trips and female drivers have a greater number of minor crashes than do men. However men are still 70% more likely to be in a serious crash.

    I drive a manual shift and have no problem with my heels. I do not live in the US and I do not drive a big ass car. I guess maybe men would have trouble driving with heels though.

    <i>And I agree on the truck thing, but the same counts for women driving trucks.</i>

    I can't say that I've ever seen a women driver be so inconsiderate whether driving a car or a truck. Men seem to think that they own the road.

    I've seen this happen from the passenger seet, many many times, you can't just say it doesn't happen because you don't have a problem with it.

    And the truck thing is not gender, but size. Big cars and Trucks think they own the road because they are large. This behaviour is unisexual.

    Then young males would stop causing accidents, yes. But then older males (who would be at the youngest end of the driving age bracket) would cause all the accidents..
    Actually inexperience is a factor, definately, but the difference in the accident ratio between new drivers in their 30s and new drivers in their teens is vast. With young males it's all about their inexperienced & immature social thinking. Their need to show off, their need to go fast & attempt to impress people & their inability to cope with the responsibility of having such a dangerous piece of machinery. So even if they learn in their mid-20s, the accident rates will still be lowered.

    If young males decide to start driving rationally & stop killing everything on the road then the risk may be reduced and the price reduced. I've seen some truely shocking things come in in accident reports dude. If I had it my way I'd ban young males from driving completely.


    Anyway, biggest rip off? Itunes, surely.
    I'm a female driver who turned 21 last year, has been driving for years, and has never had an accident.

    This year my insurance magically increased by almost $100, even though it dropped last year. =O
    Change your insurance company. Shopping around works.

    Women are by far & away the best drivers on the roads. I hope you appreciate how difficult is is for me to have to admit that.

    I agree, but only when the goddamn cell phones are nowhere near their hands.

    Yeah, I notice on the way to school half the male drivers I see are on their phone, but the only people I've seen texting while driving are girls xD
