Sometimes I am reminded that there are a reason for the development of stereotypes. I find that even women admit that women are the worst drivers; across the board they seem to be less attentive, and more easily distracted with cell phones, makeup, radio tuning, dancing, etc. compared to their male counterparts.
But this can even be broken up into sub-groups. I thought teenage girls were the worst. Then black women (regardless of age). I soon realized, after my Asian buddy pointed this out, that Asian women are actually the worst drivers.... what do you think based on driving experience? Check this out:
quote:
A South Korean woman who took 960 attempts to earn her driver's license is now planning to buy a car and get behind the wheel.
The Yonhap news agency reported on Thursday that 69-year-old Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month on her 10th try. South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly every day since April 2005 before passing last year.
Yonhap quoted her as saying she wanted to buy a small second-hand car to visit her son and daughter, and for her business selling vegetables.

Every man thinks that the women in his own country/culture are the worst drivers. Only in countries with vast cultural diversity as the US, can you judge who's actually worse.
here, they don't have licenses as a whole, and do ridiculous things, although many drivers are idiots nowadays. Like the one girl from ind/pak who tried to do a 3 point turn in the middle of rush hour traffic and ended up mounting the kerb 3 times, nearly hitting 2 more cars and driving off as if nothing was wrong. Ironically, she lives about 300 yards from the local police station.

I've been to a fair few countries and the worst driving I've seen have been in Belgium, Kenya and America (Florida to be more specific, right up and down the state). Are Florida drivers representative of general US drivers? I don't know.

Have you ever watched traffic in Indian cities? It is both hypnotic and terrifying. Almost no stop-lights in intersections and yet it continues unabated.

I've yet to witness Indian city driving, I can't say it's on my list of things to do, though. Either way, it does look rather horrific.
