    It's hard to tell. I've seen both suck hard at driving, so I can't judge.

    Hmm... I voted men, but only because both my dad and I are better at driving than my mom. She can't keep the car at a steady speed - she speeds up, then brakes, then speeds up, then brakes. Makes for a really bumpy car-sick inducing ride.

    Men tend to have better spatio-temporal perception, so that's who I picked.

    But truth, Hajjaj was convinced, held many layers.

    I didn't pick either because it depends on what you mean by better. If by better you mean getting from a to c without dying at b then women are better.
    If you mean in terms of technical driving ability; men are better.

    Its hard to tell how much of an effect spatial awareness has. I'm inclined to think that women are technically worse drivers in part because they generally don't drive as much and more importantly, don't enjoy driving as much - men on the other hand, more often take an active interest and driving is more than just a quicker way to travel for us.

    By and large this has been confirmed to me from my experience on the roads. Its usually easy to tell when somebody does something stupid what gender they are - men do the more reckless things, women tend to do things that are completely baffling.

    You could care less could you?

    Apprently men are more likely to hit moving objects, while women are more likely to hit stationary objects.

    Society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, […] no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society.

    You'll get different answers from different people; men and women.

    Women are better at everything that does not require you to be thinking about sex while you are doing it.

    Tell me, could that be you?

    It is so fitting for the feminist lesbian to be so biased towards women

    I'm gonna say neither. I've already been in two incidents on the road, and I'm only in my second year of driving. Admittedly, one involved a flying wrench, and I did do everything in my power to minimize the damage... But yeah, that kinda makes up for the supposed 'blonde driver' stereotype.

    A man said to the universe:
    "Sir, I exist!"
    "However," replied the universe,
    "The fact has not created in me
    A sense of obligation."

    My tongue was planted firmly in my cheek when I made that comment.

    My actual opinion is that neither is innately better or worse, but that isn't the least bit funny.

    I think, for us, gender doesn't matter. It's nationality that makes for bad driving skills.

    YouTube - Driving in Bosnia

    I love this American man's accent.

    And, hahaha, what it's like from a local's point of view: YouTube - Spazierfahrt mit S-Klasse in Bosnien

    That song playing in the background of the second video is this one: YouTube - Selma Bajrami-Malo se poigraj

    Perhaps the music is why we go so fast?
