I'd confidently lay money down on the chances of her driving career having less tumps and bumps than yours
There's no 'better driver' sex, but statistically we have less accidents, so up yer bum
-
Thats because there are less women drivers and most women run off after causing the initial accident!
Just sent that to the office, howls of laughter!Comment

Hardly enough of a difference to explain the accident ratesCurrently 58 per cent of the 30 million licensed drivers in this country are male, 42 per cent female.
tbh I think theres more of a gap between young/old
17-25 year old men get hammered on insurance, my first car was a 2.0 Cavalier and it cost me 236 for the year!
And why is it that women have such difficulties in parking cars into tight spaces?
Because they are always being told that this much

According to the UK gov statistics....
1. Men travel further than women for almost all purposes. The average length of men’s trips was 14 kilometres in 1999-2001, compared with 10 kilometres for women. Consequently, men travel considerably further within Great Britain each year than women: an average of 14,800 kilometres in 1999-2001 compared with 9,900 kilometres.
2. Women are more likely to walk than men, making around a quarter of their trips on foot, compared with around a fifth for men. (OK so we're lazy....but I always knew that)
3. More men than women hold full car driving licences, although the number of women with a licence has gradually increased since the mid-1970s. In 1975-76, 69 per cent of men held a car driving licence, compared with only 29 per cent of women. By 1999-2001 these figures had risen to 82 per cent and 60 per cent, respectively.
4. Men are also more likely to be the main driver of a car than women. In 1999-2001, 66 per cent of men were the main driver, compared with 42 per cent of women.
5. The greater use men make of cars may be one reason why they are more likely than women to be a casualty in a road traffic accident. In 2001 the annual casualty rate (those killed, or seriously or slightly injured) was over 44 per cent higher for men than women.
So Jamo is correct, it IS because more men drive further....if you average it out, men and women are roughly equally likely to have an accident per mile driven. But....
6. Men are more than twice as likely as women to be killed or seriously injured in a road accident: 99 per 100,000 men in 2001, compared with 44 per 100,000 women. The rates are higher for men irrespective of the mode of transport they are using.
Also I will admit that in general, women have more small bumps (due to lack of confidence) and men have more speed related accidents (due to excess of confidence) so neither are better drivers and if you keep going with the old 6" gag, I'll have to remind you that only women with a wizards sleeve would need anything more

wo wo wo!!!
It was only a joke ha ha
But i defo agree with the mileage difference as i cover around 1500 a week with my job and i see some real stuff on these crazy british roads.
And the OVER and UNDER confidence thing hence why over 95% of members on this site are male coz were all full power junkys and female tend to see a car as 4 wheels that you put petrol in to get to work and back. (excluding the odd few that really can drive a car like its ment to be driven)..... Scary thorght i know but Trust me iv seen it with my own eyes.
