Do you think women are worse drivers?

The age old battle between sexes about who is the better driver favours women as safer drivers, as we are four times less likely to be involved in a fatal crash. Although it seems that women tend to be worse at parking and collisions with stationary objects…surely not? Katie Price recently used her gender as an excuse for bad driving and it seems she’s not the only one.

From SMH Drive:

Insurance company AAMi is claiming that women are better drivers than men, the findings are based upon a national telephone survey of 2384 licensed drivers conducted in most States and Territories, as well as an analysis of AAMI claims data.

AAMI spokesperson Geoff Hughes says the results mean it’s no surprise that men’s motoring insurance claims typically cost 20 per cent more than women’s.

“Our claims data shows that men’s crashes tend to be more serious than women’s – they are more likely to be involved in head-on collisions, roll-overs and loss-of-control crashes, as well as crashes involving pedestrians, cyclists and animals.

I can’t, I’m a girl: How Katie Price isn’t the only woman to use her gender as an excuse

In the battle of the sexes, it is one of the most well-worn excuses for avoiding hard work: ‘It’s because I’m a girl.’

Now researchers have confirmed the stereotype by revealing that women frequently use their sex as a get-out clause for everything from crying to their failure to take the bins out.

A survey found that 88 per cent of respondents had used their sex as an excuse at some point in the past, while more than half admitted they did so regularly.
