Now this is interesting…
Map reading and parking may prove difficult for some women because they were exposed to too little testosterone in the womb, researchers from the University of Giessen, Germany discovered.
The study, in the journal Intelligence, fuels the age-old male myth that women are deficient in these skills.

What do you women-drivers think?
I personally don’t think all women drive badly, it’s bad to generalize. But I have to admit that a lot of them suck when it comes to it.
Honestly, every single time some car does something stupid in front of me, the driver ends up being a woman 90% of the time if not more. A coincidence maybe? And maybe not 😛
I wonder why in US women has to pay less for car insurance than men 🙂
In the US, women may drive badly, but we’re also less likely to get into a car accident. Makes you wonder who’s the REAL bad driver. Maybe men are just reckless and because women don’t drive like them they think women drive badly. 🙂 Personally, everyone thinks I’m an awesome driver, and I can parallel park like it ain’t no thang. 😛
I like what Jenn wrote: “Maybe men are just reckless and because women don’t drive like them they think women drive badly” 🙂
Anyway, being a woman, I must admit that I even complain about how some women drive badly. Maybe they think a lot while driving, maybe they keep looking at themselves in the mirrors 😛 But then again that doesn’t give men the right to generalize 🙂
Nice topic MMM.
I’m a very bad driver and I admit it. Actually the last time I was behind the wheel was over a year ago. I ‘m that bad that I quit driving all together. I agree with the BBC report;)
Well, it’s true that a lot of men drivers are reckless, although not all. And for those who are, the fact that women aren’t annoys them.
But, for example, I consider myself a pretty good driver. I drive safely and you won’t find me doing any stunts or burning up the roads speeding, but still I am annoyed by a lot of women drivers.
So, I think the reckless/not reckless thingie just adds to the men’s frustration but isn’t the main reason behind it 😉
The ultimate bad driver: an elderly Asian woman driving a Buick with an Idaho license plate.
LoL to jameed’s comment. Dude, look out for an Asian woman driving a Chrysler (I think) minivan with a California license plate. If she got light brown hair and she’s driving about 55 mph on the freeway, that’s my mom. Stay away from that vehicle! If possible, just exit off the freeway. I hate making it so that my mom fits the stereotype, but it’s true. My mom is the worst driver on the planet.
i would say my mom is the scariest female driver other then my aunt. the other day my mom was driving and i was in the passenger seat. a guy from the other lane (with a sport car) went infront of my mom and slowed down. my mom believes when she drives the road is for her and only hers. so she goes infront of him and starts fighting with him until he makes us drive off the road and we flew right into a snow mountain. luckily we were still in one piece. but my mom didnt want to give up.we got out of the snow and raced him. we beat him eventually, and my mom finnally let go of the gas. the sad part was that she didnt ask if i was alright when we crashed..all she said was “hold on”..lol.
Most of the car accidents have women in the passenger seat so no wonder men have “accidents” as women never stop bashing there head with useless information.
I can’t believe it, my co-worker just bought a car for $51438. Isn’t that crazy!
WOMEN ARE GARBAGE DRIVERS, do you see any formula one women, nascar, stunt drivers, no u dont, just go on youtube and type in bad woman driver, or woman trys to park, horrible, i swear its phisically painful to watch, i ask my self how the fuck do these women get their license, its mind boggling. But im not saying all women are horrible drivers, some are good, key word some, its very rare to come across a woman who can actually park properly, switch in and out of lanes and whatnot.
