Men: Should women be allowed to drive ?

Question

In many Arab countries women are not allowed to vote, drive and go out in public without their husbands. I think the roads would be safer without women on the roads. What do you guys think ?

Answer 1

No. Women cause significantly more accidents as men do normalized per mile driven.



I believe that statistic was roughly for every million miles driven men cause 8 accidents and women cause about 14.

That might not seem like a lot but that is 175% higher.

In order for a man to drive that badly he has to be drunk.



"The conclusion was that men break more traffic laws and drive more dangerously than women."

Yes. Massively so. *Yet men still have a lower accident rate.*



The statistics they assert women are better drives report totals and women barely win despite the overwhelming number of ***-hauled-miles are aggressively driven by men.

Normalize for miles driven, a fair and meaningful statistic, the results are dire for women.



Drunk man ~ women behind the wheel.



"There are just as many bad male drivers as there are bad female drivers."

Missing the point.

Your ability to avoid accidents is partially your quality of driving and partially the quality of other people.

Given the substantially more aggressive nature that men drive with, we can presume that part is not the dominating factor (otherwise men's accidents rates would be much worse than women's.)

So your ability to avoid an imminent accident is the dominating factor and men are at least 175% better at it.

Answer 2

The best female drivers SMOKE as well. Had to add that after your other question.



Actually, I am an excellent driver. Years ago we owned a trucking company and I drove cross-country for several years with my husband. When you can drive a semi with a 53' trailer on narrow, winding Canadian Highways (that are more like the narrowest state roads in the US), or take one across Flagstaff in about 3' of snow and I'll reconsider your opinion.



You sound so much like the men we'd meet across the country that would take one look at me and assume I couldn't drive a car, let alone a tractor-trailer because I was a 'girly-girl'. LOL



There are just as many bad male drivers as there are bad female drivers.

Okay, um I live in Saudi and I totally understand why, and I agree on it... First of all, there are a lot of people who want their women to drive, but there are others that stand apposing to tht idea. Second, it has nothing to do with Islam it has to do with how the people are third, you are going to find people claiming the whole women's safety and all but the thing is, it's all because of the men there. I do not want to trash Saudi. But a lot of guys act very... stupidly. They really harass girls by throwing their numbers at them, following them home and then in some way they get their phone number and name and etc. They go to the extent of throwing pebbles at them if they ignore them. That all happens while women are with their drivers...what would happen if they were driving alone?? I think that is the major reason..

Answer 4

I ride a freaken Harley Sportster in the summer and a truck in the winter so get over yourself! I am a woman and part of a motorsycle club for women and we are peaceful good drivers! We do not have worries because I carry a couple guns in my car and well trained to shoot and kill if threatend by some creep! It is legal where I live! EDIT~ A male driver with a cell phone nearly caused me to have an accident last year! I am also a bicyclist and a male driver actually caused me an injury because of cell phone again! and I sued him! women drivers are much better because they ususally are transporting kids and are very courteous on the road compared to male road rage drivers!

Answer 5

Nope. I shouldnt have to drive, vote, or work for that matter.. men should have to give us their credit cards so we can shop at home all we like, have us a driver on hand so we can have martinis with the girls and not have to have a cut off limit, have a personal shopper so we dont have to do the dreadful grocery shopping, id like to have a nanny too since your taking all of our hard earned privliges away.. might as well not have to deal with those bad a-- kids...



If I have to work, pay taxes, deal with your whining crap about how your bad day was, raise our kids, cook your food, wash your nasty greasy clothes, then hell yeah ima drive, vote and cuss out sorry *** men. But if youd like to take my rights away... you will be replacing them with luxury, freedom, and whatever else i demand.



By the way.. your nothing special.. I can change my oil, scratch my crotch, and fart just as well as you. And make more money.

Answer 6

LMFAO! I am at no place to answer that since your talking about Arab countries but here in America, they do just fine. Only problem is we need to control the blonde women drivers.



A blonde don't know where to go without a GPS.

A blonde must not have a cell phone while driving.

A blonde should refrain from jamming in the car.



You get the idea.

Answer 7

i dont think so, a male society can nt function witout a woman in existence. A woman holds d major roles in the society and excluding her from driving make it a lot difficult for instance who wil drive d kidds to school, get d groceries and do dt shopping. Think again!!

Answer 8

That is so stupid. Not all women are bad drivers. You can't stereotype like that. Women have so much going on in their lives and are always thinking about so much. Men think about nothing.
