Topic: Are women good race car drivers? | |
---|---|
I'm watching this Indy car race. Danica Patrick was leaving the pits, spun her ties and crashed into the pit wall while almost running over 4 crew members. This other woman, Milka Duno had to keep her car rolling during a yellow flag. She turned to the right and knocked this guy out of the race after locking up her brakes. In her defense the guy in front did slow down slightly. (I believe the answer to the question is YES but they like to give the cars to women who can pose in bathing suits. It's sad.) Hell nah! Women don't make good driver's period. There are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part? NOPE! I have seen an asian woman fall asleep behind the wheel and total her honda. #We pulled over the side of the road, called for assistance and stayed with her until help arrived. Luckily she was wearing a seat belt and only her pride was hurt. But her car will never see the road again. I have too many but honestly like 85-90% of accidents here and hitting of parked cars are caused by women. Now I dunno about on the other sides of the map.... Maybe it is just me.... But that's what I see. That's why I never let a chick drive my car. I would rather roll in two cars then give up and let a woman drive my car. She woke up. She kinda passed us up and when we got there (we were the first) she was sitting on the passenger door as if the window was rolled down but it was smashed out and the car was totaled. Seriously, she had not a scratch. To be honest, I wasn't even sure if the air deployed though. But she got out quick, because it only took us 1 minute to get there if not, then less. She was more scared of what her mom was going to say. |

I did Race and was pretty damn good at it too. If women are such bad drivers than why do you think Men are charged way more for Insurance because THEY are the ones who speed more, are more aggressive and are in MORE accidents. Sorry Guys Statistics are not on your side Like I said...... ours are premeditated though. |

If women are such bad drivers than why do you think Men are charged way more for Insurance because THEY are the ones who speed more, are more aggressive and are in MORE accidents. Sorry Guys Statistics are not on your side Of course not. They don't take uninsured and unlicensed drivers into account. Between 1993 and 1997, some 42,049 people died because someone who did not hold a valid driver's license climbed behind the wheel of a vehicle and drove anyway, according to a recent report.
An AAA Foundation survey shows that 20 percent - one in every five - of all fatal crashes in the United States involve drivers who should never have been on the road in the first place due to the fact they were unlicensed. The study was performed by Dr. Lindsay Griffin of the Texas Transportation Institute using crash data from the Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System. "Drivers operating on invalid licenses at the time of their fatal crashes are different from the rest of us," Griffin said. "Not only were their licenses invalid, but 28 percent of them had received three or more license suspensions or revocations in the three years before their crashes. These are not just ordinary people who forgot to renew." The survey examined 278,078 drivers who were involved in 183,749 fatal crashes from 1993 to 1997. The unlicensed drivers were broken down into three segments: drivers with an invalid license (7.4 percent); drivers with no known license (3.7 percent); and drivers of unknown license status (2.7 percent). Griffin examined five years of fatal crash data, identifying each driver's license status. Drivers with invalid licenses were far more likely to have been driving drunk and to have had multiple suspensions or revocations in the three years before the crash. In addition, the incidence of improper licensing varied widely by state. Maine had the lowest incidence, with 6.9 percent. The state with the highest proportion of invalidly licensed drivers was New Mexico, where 23.9 percent of all drivers involved in fatal crashes were either unlicensed, operating on an invalid license, or of unknown license status. Other high-risk jurisdictions included the District of Columbia, Arizona, California, and Hawaii. An earlier study found that 30 to 70 percent of drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked might continue to drive, Griffin said. All of these statistics boil down to two simple ones: A person with a suspended or revoked license is 3.7 times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident. That figure jumps to 4.9 percent if the person has never even had a driver's license. Not saying that all of those are women, but a good majority of them are. and then there's "Females usually prefer smaller and safer cars compared to men" Riiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt.... Minivans and SUVs don't count as cars I guess. |
