It doesn't. But, nor does it affect the way men drive, either.

In fact, I'm almost certain that most insurance companies beg to differ with you.

YouTube - Don't Copy That 2 (Official Sequel to Don't Copy That Floppy)

In unrelated news, it's not just a copy, it's a crime.

Feba, I always knew you were going to end up in jail eventually.

Does that mean statistics say men are as likely to cause accidents due to talking on the phone while driving as women?

Because I certainly haven't seen any of that on the road. XD

I don't talk on the phone wile driving.

It takes away from my ability to cuss out idiotic fuckwits who have no idea what they are doing and my overall tendency towards road raging.

Au contraire, I have seen him on BG.

I just really like how you are both complimenting me and insulting him in the same sentence.

There's definitely dumb male drivers no doubt. But in my time of driving cars and bikes, I have been nearly killed by mostly women on cell phones. And their car of choice is always some sort of huge SUV made by GM. Yukons and Suburbans are the ones I usually have to look out for. And ontop of that, after they nearly run you off the road, they look at you like you're in the wrong.

Its not only the people on phones, it is also the people that have handicapped stickers on their plates.

Don't forget Hummers lmao, they think they own the road.

I hate SUV drivers in general, but I'm convinced that just driving a minivan lowers your IQ by several points. Every single person I see driving a minivan is the most incompetent idiot on the road.

People in big cars have issues.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Well I drive a pickup truck and aside from aggression issues I'm a fairly competent driver.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Aggression issues on the road can be pretty serious. I can't stand aggressive drivers, makes me want to just give up on motor vehicles some days. Anyone who's perfectly comfortable with driving is crazy. It's probably the most dangerous thing a lot of us will do in our lives but hardly anyone thinks twice about it.

If people weren't idiots I wouldn't have to yell at them for being stupid.

Using a blinker is so fucking simple and yet it's one of the things that sets me off the fastest.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Man I f'ing hate women (and some retarded men) holding their cellphones while driving.

I can't remember how many times I've yelled "Use a damn handsfree you moron!!*" at stupid drivers who almost hit me or invaded my lane because of that.

According to a 2003 study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the difference in safety and performance between drivers using a handsfree and those using a handheld device is "negligible." A 2008 report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety supports this. Research at Carnegie Mellon indicates the hijacking of mental resources to decipher language has the greatest impact on a person's ability to drive, rather than a loss of physical dexterity.

As for the sexist opinion, statistics show the opposite. An analysis by the Social Issues Research Centre in 2004 states that "In all studies and analyses, without exception, men have been shown to have a higher rate of crashes than women."
