Women Are Better With Safe Driving

[herbolero]

We always have a pre-conceived idea that women are less skilled in driving compared to men. But recent studies would show that men are more likely to be involved in a vehicular accident than women drivers. Well at least it is a known fact that men are more aware of how their car works, but modern women are not far behind and are starting to close in. With the SUV as the vehicle of choice of women today, more emphasis is given to power and utility. Is this also true for Filipina drivers? What do you think?

My ex gf reads pocket books while driving beat that.

Err, there are more men than women drivers. Shouldn't it be only natural that the accident rate follow suit?

Not really because we are comparing the percentages. Even if you surf the web, you'll find that there is a significant trend with road safety and gender.

i guess its true for the women WHO REALLY KNOW HOW TO DRIVE.based on personal experience with my mother and other close women i know who drives.. they tend to not have a sense of speed..... my mum for example didnt notice she was driving at 120kph until my dad told her to take a look at her speedometer.. my mum thought it was only 80kph..... this was in australia.... my ex girlfrend in australia drove around a round about,, or rotonda at 60kph because she said that it was the legal speed limit.. have you tried that, goin around a rotonda at 60kph?

That's because men have more testosterone, which at high levels, actually becomes relaxing. I don't recall where I read that, but that's mainly why men are aggressive drivers (and therefore, more "unsafe"). This increased risk also predisposes men to take more risks.

Ako, I started driving at the age of 16. I guess if you don't experience being hit, hitting another car or hitting a pedestrian accidentally, hindi ka ganap na driver! (hehehehehe) Pero syempre kung maiiwasan, why not? Minsan nga ikaw na nag-iingat, ikaw pa ang nababangga!

Napansin ko dito sa Pinas, mas maraming babaeng aggresive mag drive and not defensive! Na experience ko yan nung binangga ako ng isang babaeng nagmamaneho sa Cavite way back. I was in the main road while she is coming from a subdivision. Diba ang may right of way ang mga sasakyan sa main road? Obviously, hindi nya alam ang rules sa driving. I asked her ilang taon na ba sya nagmamaneho then sabi nya wala pang isang taon. Sabi ko sa kanya mag aral sya ulit ng pagmamaneho at hindi nya alam ang road curtesy! Obvious naman mali nya kase nakalampas na ang nguso ng kotse ko at driver side ko ang nakupi ang 2 doors.

Haaaaay....

I was reacting to your post which mentioned probabilities, not percentages. Peace.

Women can multitask while driving, dyan ako bilib sa kanila.

dito sa pinas, rare ang women drivers na hindi nagaral. unlike sa male, marami hindi nakapagtapos ng pagaaral. (common sa PUV)

sa statistics ng bangga, anu kaya ang percentage nang bangga ng taong nagaral sa hindi nakapagtapos?

i think reason din ang knowledge kaya the statistics is as it is.

Basta naman nakakapagbasa, pede na.

Ang masama naun, wala naman halos natututunan sa driving school(walang tinuro saking right of way) at un iba sa fren/family natuto. Dapat magbasa pa ng driving manual(A1 has one). At least 1 household should have a copy.
At d lang babasahin ng isang beses. Dapat mga 2-3 times mabasa entirely. Ulitin hangat parang naka program na sa atin. At paminsan2x nire-review. Just like what we do with the bible. Dahil buhay ang nakasalalay sa pagda-drive.

I think it's more of who has learned acceptable road courtesy basics rather than educational attainment. This is in assumption that at least he/she has to be literate. (sadly, in the rural areas, you don't have to be literate to get a license, we had a driver before with a red jacket license who couldn't even read nor write... no kidding... )

Well, my wife drives like a man. She hates to be compared to other women drivers. In fact, she's driving a Crosswind XUV a/t which is harder to drive than my Honda CRV kahit manual. Early on, I offered her that we switch rides, but she refused. Her pride got the better part of her. And we have a third vehicle, a honda civic 97 vti, but she still sticks to her crosswind. Medyo kaskasera nga siya and already figured in a number of minor accidents. Wala pa namang major.

But overall, she is a good driver. I can sit comfortably at the passenger seat while she drives.

On the note that women prefers SUVs, I think this is true with wifey. She is eyeing a Pajero to replace her crosswind by next year. Nainggit ata nung kumuha ako ng Strada. Ibenta na lang daw namin yung civic at crosswind namin. Pandagdag sa budget nya.

Women drivers had really gone a long way!




Pero meron pa rin akong nakikitang nakanguso at malapit yung katawan sa manibela habang nagda-drive at speed of 30-40 km/hr sa Edsa na walang traffic, hehehe. Peace!

Konti na lang siguro yung ganun (sabay kambyo, hehehe)

Is this also true for Filipina drivers? What do you think?

Nope. About 2 years ago, I saw 2 accidents caused by women failing to stop properly at a 4-way stop. Same day, different times and I witnessed both; 9:30 am going to the mall and 1:30 pm to pick up some Chinese food.

Both were Pinays, both had California plates, both failed to stop completely, both t-boned a car.

mas prone kasi tayo to aggressive driving and road rage. maaangas kasi eh :evillaugh


the stats don't lie. women drivers are safer. feel free to look it up

Could it be. Once I was watching on the TFC news channel (isang bandila) and I can believe it that halos 90 percent ang mga tinanong na driver tungkol sa mga road sign ay hindi alam ang meaning. So no wonder na mas marami ang lalaki na involve sa aksidente dahil hindi nila alam ang highway regulation. So kung meron kayong mga tsuper better give them a remedial exam, perhaps ask ourselves too. Kaya?

[afrasay]

women has a lesser chance of getting a ticket ;)

[boydapa]

wala pa akong kilalang babae na hindi aggressive magmaneho! lahat ng babaeng nasa driver's seat at ako sa passenger lahat sila kaskasera talaga!

tama yun mga nagsabi na wala silang sense of distance or speed napansin ko din yun lalo na yun road courtesy.

and more importantly napakaunpredictable! true to their nature! hindi mo alam kng kakaliwa o kakanan minsan. atsaka liko ng liko.

atsaka bakit yun iba na nagbebenta ng oto nilalagyan pa ng LAdy Driven as if naman advantage yun at pampataas ng presyo. mga walang alam lng sa oto nauuto nun linyang yun hehe

Oist not to rain on our parade. baka me pumasok na bebot sa thread na to, sabihin pang ***ist chauvinist pigs na naman tayo. . . .
