Men are higher risk, period. Accidents, DUI’s, speeding tickets and many other categories men are higher risks.

road rage

As long as they don't get between a woman and her phone

Higher risk does not mean that men are not better drivers.
We are better drivers (more skilled) but more prone to making stupid selfish decisions.

I can count on one hand the amount of skilled confident women drivers I’ve seen.

No that means you are a worse driver.

Who is more likely to stop a car in the middle of a busy intersection?

A man since women are not allowed to drive or even leave the house.

If a nascar driver gets a DUI that means that women are better drivers than him?

You are saying nascar drivers are good street drivers?

Wrong. As I said, allowed, but shouldn't!

I guess you guys are arguing about the definition of better (safer or more skilled).
But in the context of whether someone should be allowed to drive (and insurance rates) I assume we are talking about safer. In that case, clearly women are less of a risk.

Maybe what's clear to you, looks different in different age groups or some other demographic grouping. In my extended family it seems like the female drivers are less safe than the male drivers by a significant margin.

We are taking across the whole spectrum. Women are safer (less risk) drivers!!!

Not in my community!

Now, I will admit that young (macho type) males in the 17-25 age group are probably a much greater risk than females in that age group, but once we are talking about more mature people (and I don't include one of my older BILs in that group) there's no doubt in my mind that female drivers are a greater risk (might not be in fatalities or dollar value of damage, but definitely in number of accidents). IME women just don't have the proper awareness of surroundings.

Example from yesterday, one female feels unconfident taking a car out of a narrow driveway, and asks another female who regularly uses that driveway to do it for her. Car emerges from driveway scathed. That's besides for the fact that another female placed the car in the driveway in the first place, and drove it in head first, which is unsafe, rather than doing it the safe way and backing in.
