Female drivers on the road today is only slightly less than the men, but it is about sitting behind the wheel of the ladies tell jokes and funny, often greatly exaggerated stories, and sometimes openly disparage, not only for the eyes, but in the face. How true belief that women at the wheel, for all their undoubted merits, drive cars worse than men?

Statistic

Despite the numerous publications that women drive less than men simply because they are women, which prevents them from ever unstable hormones, they do not understand the technique, relentless statistics says that the fair sex drive better .  Yes, among them pilots of Formula-1 (at least not yet), but the fault of the women less likely to occur accident, and they are not as often as men, are breaking the rules - and that is not it, it is an indication of good driving .  For example, in the US, where most of the population, regardless of sex, begins to drive the car back in high school, 71% of traffic accidents resulting in death, were caused by male drivers .  This figure has remained virtually unchanged since 1975 .  In addition, men more often than women commit violations that do not result in death or injury - speeding, sit behind the wheel drunk, do not allow pedestrians, etc. .  Women are more law-abiding, "safe" drivers even taking into account the fact that the total number of male drivers account for about 60% .

What is the reason? Blame ancient instincts. Genes hunters and gatherers, who for thousands of years ago helped our ancestors to feed himself and his family in a hostile and dangerous world, and remains active to this day. As the habitat has become safer and men do not need to hunt mammoths and threatening to kill a family of wolves, instincts are different outputs. WHO experts say, in general, the obvious thing: the men by nature more aggressive than women. However, in today's world, aggressive behavior is not always constructive, and men who can not be well controlled aggression, often endanger their own and other people's health and life.

Why do women drive worse than men: male gaze

Whatever the statistics, men are reluctant to admit that the women behind the wheel do not deserve the status of "monkey with a grenade," and the more they are in no hurry to take this status yourself. Here are some reasons, and not very serious, in favor of women - from the point of view of men - just can not be good drivers:

• They ride in the car with the dogs. Of course, sometimes it is done by men, but the woman would not be a woman, if she had not stroked her dog from time to time, not only at the traffic lights, but also when driving at a decent speed. Meeting on the road with a woman who is driving at a speed of over 100 km / h, stroking the dog, the muzzle of which lies in her lap may end badly, and men firmly believe that you can not do two things at once: a person can only or follow expensive, or stroking your pet.
• They travel together with friends. Again, men also often go with friends, but in this case everyone behaves as if he - the driver: all closely watching the road. The men in the car talking, not keeping eye contact. The man never asks his friend, the driver correspond to the stone in ringlet to the color of his eyes, until the machine stops. Of the three or four women who ride in the car on the road will see only that which is driving - and this is the best. At worst, it will turn to evaluate a new hairstyle and lipstick girlfriend another girlfriend, and well, if at that time the road in front of it is straight and empty.
• They do not see the road. It's not that they have poor vision, just the ladies a little hamper hanging from the mirror fluffy toys, beads, and other cute little things, the purpose of which for men is a mystery. Women are so decorate their cars, it would be best to go in reverse. However, this is unlikely - as both the front of the rear glass is often jumble of things are not very clear purpose.
• They sing while driving. In itself, the singing on the road does not bear a direct threat, but women - emotional people and, fascinated by singing, they often begin to dance as much as possible in a sitting position, beat the rhythm and even waving his hand (well, if only one hand). If a woman is at the same time and keep the car on the road, its movements can distract particularly impressionable driver in the oncoming lane.
• They look in the mirror at yourself. In the morning she spent thirty minutes to create a makeup job on her hair and makeup touch up every few hours, but this is not enough - it must necessarily look to mirror that to make sure it looks great at the wheel. Maybe some women are afraid that they will turn into Quasimodo, while traveling from one traffic light to another. Although - why wait for a traffic light? Some ladies admire is in full swing.
• They are not interested in cars. More precisely, it is important for women, as the car looks and how it goes, and there inside her, it does not matter. Unusual vibration or motor sound nothing to say beautiful ladies until the car goes from under its hood is not smoke. Even change a wheel for many women - an impossible task, so if the car suddenly stops working, they are completely helpless.
