I've often wondered if women have less depth perception than men. That might explain some of their driving habits.

that's an interesting thought. Personally, I do have a limited depth of perception, but it doesn't prevent me from looking in my rearview and side mirrors and out the windows before I change lanes. I think some people are just lazy and impatient and don't realize that they have a blindspot on both sides of them. I can't tell you how many times people look shocked and surprised to see my truck next to them after they only look in their side mirrors before attempting to change lanes.

In a word, no. We have women commercial and military pilots who do a fine job. IMHO and with all due respect, women don't devote their full-time attention to driving. They have no respect for the forces involved in managing the vehicle under their command partly due to POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.

Why, no effort is required to stop, based on their experience! This, combined with not having been taught what's involved in distance and time requirements for braking - plus driving skills in general - sets up a very hazardous situation. Ask any over-the-road trucker. As a group, women drivers are inherently dangerous.

Reminding many of us of an old joke...

Why are women such poor judges of distance? Because for years they've been told that THIS (holding hands about 5 inches apart) is 12 inches.
