Women are worse drivers then men. We have all heard this before but how true is it? Reports from insurance companies show that men are twice as likely to instigate road rage then women are. These companies will generally charge men more on a quote then they would women. The companies support their rates with the argument that men are usually the faster drivers, the lesser likely to wear their seat belt, and more likely to get offenses such as reckless driving or DUI. Studies done by AutoWeb say that “53% of men admitted to regularly breaking the speed limit compared to only 30% of women." Men tend to inflate their driving abilities. This overconfidence can be their downfall. The Washington Post suggests that men, overconfident about their driving abilities, will attempt a turn to fast, or think they will be able to cut in front of someone quicker then they could, causing an accident. Women however play it safe and will wait for that car to pass, or will brake before the turn.

Men say women are worse drivers only because we won't make risky driving moves like they do! For example, trying to pass someone they don't need to, or turning to fast and drifting. So tragic.
I think Women are the worst drivers because men tend to be more patient when it comes to driving, ex. when im in the car with my dad i always wonder why he isnt driving as fast and he says "whats the rush". In the case of women they are always in the rush & i think women tend to get in to alot more accidents because they dont pay attention when there driving
