You ever speed on many occasions without a traffic camera snapping you or a cop pulling you over?

I may have pots and pans thrown at me for saying this, but women tend to think in a binary fashion when it comes to life...

I speed every chance I get. Pretty much every day, but the 405 only lets me go over the limit for short amounts of time.

Never, ever been pulled over for going too fast.

Yep...but it’s not a sex thing...it’s a smart thing...as in knowing how not to get caught.

I drive 150 miles a day and think women are often poor drivers* and terrible with directions and some young women drive fast absent mindedly while yakking

but no....I think ...in fact I would wager my life on it....men speed more...no doubt....it’s in our balls

*DC2000 is an excellent driver

The real speeder in my family is my sister.

But I will say this. I have young boys, and I think parents sit on boys a little harder in this, because they know boys think a little less about consequences.

I think they worry more about girls texting and gabbing, and so emphasize that.

Tailgaters are generally women. (more pots and pans coming)

Some big auto insurers are raising the rates they charge to cover teenage girls,

Here's the real answer, and all you guys up to now fell for some kind of discussion . The real question was by Warren Buffet to his minions: "How can we squeeze the public for even more money?" " We'll just say..."

Men do aggressive things, women do wacky things.

Both can kill you.

Sadly, both my kids drive MUCH too fast.

One boy, one girl.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day, " Honk if you <3 Jesus, Text while driving if you want to meet him."

I suspect the girls were just more honest than the boys in this survey.

they’re too busy smoking, texting, talking on the phone, putting on make-up and drinking coffee to actually pay attention enough to notice that they are either drifting into other lanes or going too slow.

In my 120+ highway miles a day, I see more women talking on cell phones while driving than not. However, kids (male and female aged 18ish-25ish) are often the worst drivers, living in the left lane while not passing and swerving like they were drunk, while people with political campaign bumper stickers (both right and left), oddly enough, tend to stay in the right lane under the speed limits.

Folks with union bumper stickers (usually huge pickups) are the ones going 20+ over the speed limit and will ride up on your a**, even if you have traffic in front of you. It’s so tempting to hit the brakes at times.

If you were to compare my teen driving years with my husband’s, I definitely had a heavier foot, but he had more accidents. Once, he had to have a friend pull his 4x4 out of the Mississippi River for trying to drive on a sandbar???? lol

I have a 40 mile commute each way daily to Little Rock on the interstate and have traveled it for 30 years. By and large, I'd say I see more young women than men driving in an unsafe and dangerous manner, from driving far above the 70 mph speed limit, to tailgating (especially both at same time), to distracted driving from applying makeup (especially eyeliner doing 80mph just 10 feet behind the car in front of them), fixing hair, texting, yakking on the cellphone, etc.

That's not to say there's not a fair share of young males that drive equally stupidly, but volume-wise young females make my drive much more dangerous, driving with almost a sense of entitlement that says get out of my way because I'm female. (flame suit on) - OB1

I love watching the cameras flash and wonder if these folks just don’t care about the fines. Must be nice having money to burn, but don’t you get your license suspended after a good bunch of ‘em?
