This is another thread that's come up before.
Statistically, the worse drivers are not women or OAPs but young men - that's why insurance premiums are so much higher for blokes.
IMHO (and I speak as a cyclist who's had many encounters with wayward motorists) men and women make different errors. My pet bugbear with women is a refusal to use indicators and the propensity to switch lanes without looking (they do both far more than men).
On the other hand, they are less prone to drive recklessly, don't tend to bust the speed limit and observe more right of way signs. Male drivers seem to think they have the right of way coming on to a main road if it's only a cyclist coming towards them,
Give me women drivers any time.

I tend to agree with the above.
My only issue with drivers ( women or men) are those who do not anticipate what is coming up in front.
How many times have you driven along the seafront by the King Allfred and you have seen 200 yard in front a car double parkeed. Toodling along on the inside lane is someone and you know damn well they are going to get to within 2 yards of the car and then pull out in front of you....andf its all your fault.

A few days ago I was behind a man, on his mobile, driving erratically. He approached a red light, hesitated, then drove straight over whilst it was still red, still on his mobile. Great driving!

Pass on the inside then. Despite what people think it is totally legal as long as you continue on the inside for 1/4 mile as all you are doing is proceeding at a speed suitable for the road conditions. It is switching lanes simply in order to pass that is illegal.

Driving and using a mobile - men very much more than women, that one.

Can I also say that the majority of people who now tailgate me are women. And this is actually true. I used to drive for a living about 18 years ago and it was alway men then, not now.
I think men speed more but women are certainly catching up in the wanker driver stakes.
And I would argue about the mobile phone use whilst driving as well. In my experience it's about equal.

Agreed. Also shaving whilst driving. Some bloke along the seafront in Hove. Everytime we got to a red light, the bloke in the car behind would start shaving.
Incidentally, I'm a woman, I've never crashed, had a speeding ticket, or even had a parking fine. Some of my male friends have written off over 3 cars each after driving only 2 years.
