Na wa. I can clearly deduce from these comments that men think little of female drivers that can't be trusted completely with a car. This is really sad.

Kjnwancaro:


Next time you get on the road pay attention to cars that are sluggish you'd notice they have female drivers or learners

Driving is not all about turning the steering and engaging the thruttle and brakes...... Its all about attitude, sense of judgement and last of all, mechanical experience to be a professional driver...



Now judging by these parameters, I would say that the female gender cannot be better drivers than their counterparts. ..


Thank you

What I do know is that it's your ignorance it biology.

If we're generalizing, women can't really stand all the emergencies that comes with driving but I have seen some badass female drivers me sef comot cap.

Women tend to be slow, not just the speed but In decision making.

chinene1:
Did I read correctly? Women tend to be slow in making decisions? I wonder if you would have the balls to tell you mother, wife or daughter that!
We have women race car drivers, women mechanics, women engineers, astronauts, recognized scientists, deep sea divers, mountain climbers, stunts women, Olympic medalist etc. If we can have women excelling in all these 'men' areas then I sure as heck know women are very good drivers. I can go as far to say some are better than most male drivers.

They are looking for your type in Saudi Arabia. I am sure they will appreciate your thoughts towards the capability of women.

peacettw:


That happened to me twice in 2 months. Passersby were simply amazed that I was the driver. Had to wonder why.

dingbang:
my dear what will u do when your car breaks down on the road?

Kjnwancaro:


Yea ma. So how many women are Auto mechanics or car racers and all those things you mentioned ? If it happens then it gets on the news. The topic of this debate is driving which is our ability to make quick decisions to emergencies like avoid being hit, hitting someone or crashing all together I do not need to start explaining to you that women are soft, they get frighten at the slightest thought of crashing, this will make them slow because their mind is already troubled from a possible miscalculation. The mind plays the biggest role in driving then you need to believe in your calculation, this has been ruled out in most women because they panic too much.

If there's anyone to underestimate the power of a woman it would not be me because I have seen. Like I said there are a lot of badass female drivers but IF we want to generalize then I don't think they can really drive.

peacettw:
I have been driving for nine years now and like to think I am good at driving. I also travel long distances too when the need arises with my maximum speed so far at 140km/hr.

But then again, most men don't agree that women can be pretty good drivers starting with my hubby who had to engage the services of an escort to be with me while I drive myself to and fro from Anambra to benin yesterday.

I just like to know what most men think. Have you ever seen a good driver that is a female?

If so, share your experiences please.

I want to rip you apart but for old times' sake

johnson232:
A woman can't do anything that involves stress efficiently...it's a natural thing. God didn't make them that way...When considerable number of women can't replace tyres & u want them to make good drivers?

Some women drive well even on long trips. I know of a woman who trust only herself to drive between Lagos and abuja. I've been chased once by a woman on kaduna to abuja highway at 140kmph.

That said, some women can't tell where the temperature guage is. Some men too

salvo583:

Most women can't tell where the temperature guage is especially those that drive within the town. Many don't even know where the engine filter of their car is located not to talk of cabin airfilter. For a woman to be a very good driver, a man with her level of same must have being better of. Women has excelled in Adminstration, Medical and Applied Sciences, ICT than even males but in Automobile diagnosis they are still below the male counterparts. Abi how many women can quickly diagnose electrical applicances problems at home without waiting for their husbands?

peacettw:
You all haven't answered my question though. Surely you must have seen someone, anyone?

jnrbayano:


Nobody, I repeat nobody, drove better than my mum in the family the time she was still alive.

I have been driving for about 14yrs, i can beat my chest and say i drive very well and know some basics in car troubleshooting. At least few times I was able to identify the problem with my battery head and alternator, I can change fan belt perfectly, change tires is easy for me and brake pads if I'm stuck in a place I don't have help.

The road signs are the first basics of driving which I am familiar with, simple logic and common sence comes to play in most cases in driving.

Now God has blessed me with good car I experience less of such hassles in driving, just major oil change and diagnostic checks when necessary.

I still prefer to drive the manual drive cars when going on long distance journey, it keeps me alert.

If it were my old rickety car, then yes that can happen as I have had to readjust the terminals myself on three occasions. With my new ride, my major issues are changing the flat tires to the spare. other isssues are simply not within my domain hence the reason the mechanics are there
