"Drives is a word" is also a statement that requires some punctuation. E.g.:

"drives" is a word - spellcheck wouldn't catch that.

"drives" is a word, spellcheck wouldn't catch that.

Furthermore, probably another typo, but I think you meant to say "or" instead of "of" in the subject to this. You also need a colon in there:

betters drivers: women or women?

[analogika]

The men of women tend to have better drives than the men of men - the slot-ins are slightly more user-friendly, plus there's more options.

Anecdotal evidence would suggest that, in fact, the opposite is true: men of men tend to have better drives than men of women. User-friendliness, apparently, has little bearing on drives.

Ah, sorry: I was talking about hardware interfaces, not protocol.

Reminds me of a joke:

Why is Helen Keller such a bad driver?

 

Cuz she's a woman! *ducks*

Ah, gotcha. Although really, in terms of hardware, men of women only have a 50% improvement of options over men of men.

Better Drives: Men of Women
Rated R

[Cipher13]

Men are generally better drivers.

Sorry, but in my experience, that's undeniable. I'm not a sexist person, I just say it how I see it. I find women get very easily distracted and have trouble multitasking. They also tend to be unnecessarily aggressive due to what seems to be a lack of awareness of potential consequences.

That said, men generally tend to be more dangerous drivers, as far as driving like idiots goes (doughies, etc).

There are always exceptions, naturally.

[Cold Warrior]

Women also have more difficulty in larger vehicles such as SUV's; they don't seem to do as well in their spacial abilities - visualizing the entire vehicle, its position on the road, its weight and the handling dynamics in various terrain and weather conditions, and its size and position relative to other parked vehicles.

Yell if you want, feminazis, but those are my observations.

[JoshuaZ]

Old people. They're the main menace on the road these days. Its a problem that will only increase with time.

I'd rather have an immature 16 year old on the road, than a 76 year old with no eyesight and horrible reaction time.

I do hope that you realize that this is purely observational based on your own experience, and that there is no way for this generalization to be accurate for everybody, right?

Humans get themselves into trouble by forming misrules in their heads.

Of course I realise that. The question is whether the reader does.

There are tons here in the DC area, when i do see Asian drivers, they drive like regular people, I don't notice unless I look at the driver.

The car insurance industry would disagree with you. There's a reason why men pay more than women. Especially single men under 25.

Yes. When men have an accident, it's usually a big one. But in the 10 years-odd it'll take the average male to have an accident, the average female will have had hundreds of little accidents which go unreported to the insurance company. Maybe their hubbies will grab some touch-up paint and a panel puller from the local car store or something to fix it.

In general, women have a different level of spatial awareness than men do. Exceptions, obviously.

I like their boobs and stuff, but no, they're not having the keys to my car.

[Dakarʒ]

I find women to be wholly more unpredictable on the road. Where a guy may be just balls-out speeding or driving slow, its the women I find that can't seem decide how they want to be driving.

This is an extremely dumb generalization. Sorry, faulty generalizations are just a peeve of mine. It's not like there is some genetic difference in Asian women that makes them poor drivers.

Except Benz drivers. I haven't encountered a single one who isn't an unpredictable asshole.

Just the other day I was behind one on a single-lane highway. Painfully slow around the corners, painfully slow on the straights. As soon as an overtaking space opened up and I moved out, he floored it. So I had to embarrass him some.

Well dumb to you perhaps, but it's a generalization based on personal experience with 7 Japanese women and 2 Chinese women who have at one time or another nearly gotten me killed. All the worst drivers.

I'm getting married to one. If she doesn't get me killed first.

Fair enough, and your personal generalizations based on your personal experiences are totally valid for you, and for us in context, I was just getting the vibe that you were trying to apply this to all Asian women everywhere.

[sek929]

Men are far more aggressive, but like everything involving hand-eye coordination, are far better at actually driving.

Women are more timid and careful, but tend not to be able to handle stressful driving situations quickly and easily.

Example: When looking for a house in an unfamiliar area, my g/f would rather drive around several blocks to turn around rather than just doing a quick 3-point turn. She also couldn't park within one foot of the curb if her life depended on it.

However, my driving record is far worse than hers since I tend to speed to much, but I wouldn't let her drive me through Boston if MY life depended on it.

I'm sure in some corner of the world there's an entire population of the most incredible female asian drivers ever.

(I didn't mean a rash generalization, just a generalization)

[Velocity211]

I really never encountered any bad women drivers, but i'll take peoples' words that they do. But the asian driver stereotype is the most ridiculous one of all. People talk crap about it all the time but i never see it at all, why doesn't someone show me a documentary about this, then i'll believe it. It's not like asians are different species from everybody else.

[olePigeon]

Dunno about driving, but how about parking?

YouTube - woman parking

[ghporter]

I said equal, but not why most people would think. I think, in general, men and women are equally BAD drivers.

People don't seem to understand things like friction and inertia. Nor do they understand that they have a finite amount of attention, and if they're having a really deep conversation with someone on their phone, they might not notice the dump truck until it actually runs over them-or worse, until AFTER they run over ME!

I should note that my mother, sister, and wife all drive better than 99% of everyone, including 99% of the men I see driving.

Actually, the worst drivers I've encountered are soccer moms in huge SUVs. They just assume run you over to get little Billy to practice.

Well, he married a feminist, and he makes it clear she's got him by the balls.

In my experience, a certain amount of confidence helps when driving. The asians I've worked with seemed to be a little more submissive and I think that hurts. I have tons of great anecdotal evidence towards this.
