It's official: Women are worse drivers

It is official. Scientists have discovered that women drivers are more dangerous behind the wheel.

A University of Michigan study found that female drivers get in more accidents despite driving less often than men do.

Researchers looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers.

They also discovered that women have a tough time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads.

The results are even more surprising given that men spend more time behind the wheel than women. On average, men drive 60 per cent of the time, and women 40 per cent.

The scientists also found that women were more likely than men to crash at a junction - their cars are often hit on the left-hand side when trying to make a right-hand turn, and vice versa.

He said: There are three dominant driver-related factors, including the probability of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, one's own driving skills and the driving skills of the other driver involved.

"Researchers looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers"Well...it's obvious what needs to be done. We need to find those two female drivers and revoke their license!!

Women are worse at parking too. They have poorer spatial judgement. It's scientifically proven infact (by a woman) -http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/6849247/Women-worse-at-parking-than-men-study-shows.html
