Who is really a better driver? Men or women?
          

The battle of the sexes, this war has waged on throughout the years, using many different platforms to disagree on. Between the two of us, we have probably figured out throughout the years everything that it was possible for us to either, disagree on, or compete over. We argue over who is the more reasonable of the two,more physically equipped, smarter, has more influence in the business world, in the world in general, over each other, and my personal favorite, who is a better driver. The reason this is my favorite is because when I was growing up my parents didn’t really argue very much, however when it came to driving they could never agree. My mother grew up in New Jersey and my father is from New Hampshire, and they are both the stereo typical “location drivers”.  My mother drives aggressively like all NJ drivers and my father drives very slow, which, if you don’t know is typical of NH drivers. In the hopes to settle this argument once and for all, research is required. “Statistics Brain.com” found from “Insurance Institute for Highway Safety” that Males have a ratio of 3.41 of reckless driving to a 1 for female drivers. We all know that men take more risks than women but this also seems to stand true with driving. Males also have a 1.75 to 1 ratio of females for speeding violations. Yes some may argue that, “men don’t follow the set rules, but concerning technique, they are the better drivers.” That may be true with some males, but “Statistics Brain.com” also states in the same article that men and women between the ages of twenty to twenty nine have a ratio of 4.0 to 2.0 of males to females in fatal car crashes. All I can say to that is the rules are in place for a reason, and it takes skill to maintain a set speed and correspond to guidelines as the roads were designed to have them followed.

           Parking is also a portion of driving that men more often than not, firmly believe women are less capable of.  However sorry I am to disappoint some men, according to “The Huffington Post’s” article “Women Are Better At Parking Then Men: Study” women are the ones that are typically better at parking. A study done by the  “NCP Parking report” found that “ men rush when parking and end up wasting time and gas driving past parking spaces and, once they do find one, are more apt to park sloppily.” It was also found that “While women take longer to park” “53 percent of women were judged to have parked centrally within a space, compared to just a quarter of men.”
           Men often complain about how women either worry too much or “have to have everything perfect”. If men think that, then they could also conceive that women take more care in driving then they do. Of course if men still don’t agree on the fact that women are better drivers than they can just read the statistics. I believe women are better drivers than men based on the statistics, that come from non biased sources, the common knowledge fact that men cost more to insure, so an industry purely driven by making money say that women are less of a cost to them, and from my own personal understanding on the differences between the way men and women act concerning different situations and habits. I guess in short, I would rather drive with women on the road then men.
