I still wonder why people have to be cruel to women drivers sometimes. When ther’e a car causing heavy traffic, they would usually say “maybe it’s a woman driver” or if the driver is not assertive enough on the road, they would most probably say “i’m sure it’s a woman driving that thing.”  When it comes to parkinga and something goes wrong, a woman is often the suspect. WHY?!

I admit that women are often more involved in road accidents but then again, the results of these accidents are far less severe than accidents wherein men are involved.

I also admit that ladies can not be as aggressive as men when it comes to driving but this is mainly because we have a better sense of responsibility and safety that comes with our role as women in the society.  I totally condone dicrimination against women drivers like me!

And to prove my point, I have some information that may enlighten minds of people out there.

a.) According to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), women are better drivers than men. (Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2001)

b.) According to Brian O’Neill, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, women are less likely to be driving at night, to be driving impaired by alcohol, to be doing other things that are precursors to rollovers. It’s statistically provable and very gender-specific. (USA Today, 2001)

 c.) Women make more trips to perform household-sustaining activities such as shopping and family errands to a greater extent than men. (McGuckin & Murakami, 1999)

d.) 89 percent of women say being well organized in their car helps them keep their eyes on the road

So there, maybe because women generally have more concerns than men, like getting  the kids safely  to school and other family errands, our being extra careful on the road is justified.  So don’t judge us just because we’re women.  Sometimes try your best not to be blinded by misconceptions on women drivers.
