Yes, there is. Statistics show that men get into more accidents, and accidents caused by men lead to injuries that are more severe. I've gotten into an argument about that some time ago, and to resolve it, we actually contacted the swiss governmental institute for statistics (Bundesamt für Statistik, BFS, http://www.bfs.admin.ch/) to verify this. It's true: women are better (or at least saver) drivers than men.

These numbers are normalized, by the way, so the fact that men drive more than women didn't influence the result. There are even some insurances whose car insurances cost more for men than for women, since men are more likely to cause expensive accidents.

Somebody wrote "Men tend to drive better when tested". I've never seen a test supporting that idea. Please provide links to studies supporting that point of view.

I admit to having trouble with parking at times. Because I am a petite female I cannot see far enough over the hood of my car to see where the lines are to park straight. I sometimes have to back out and line up again. Sometimes I compensate by parking in areas where no other cars are around. I don't know any men who have this problem, but I don't know any men as short as I.
My point is, maybe there are physical differences between the sexes which affect driving skills. Smart drivers of both sexes know their weaknesses and learn to address them in self preservation if nothing else!
Some people's answers here appear to define good driving as the ability to control a car's functioning (apparently a strong point for males) and others define it as keeping out of accidents (females). Since I don't know what definition the Questioner is using, I would answer that men and women in general do drive differently with the result of driving each other crazy.

Since driving is a individual experience. Looking at men and women as individuals, there are always some who are better than the other in specific activities (driving in this case).

I noticed a difference between men and women pupils when I used to teach motorcycling, I generally found it easier to teach a woman than a man. most of the time this was because a woman would listen and a man would try to do it their own way.
Although men tended to be more "mechanically sympathetic" then the women..
On the road accompanying learners however, it suprised me that in general women drivers had less respect for a learner motorcyclist then men.. Wherea most men would give priority to the learner if he could I found that women tended to be agressive towards learners. Speaking to a few female friends about this most admitted that when they really thought about it they were more agressive.
A report, published when I was instructing, on why there were little or no women in motorsport found out that men and women vary slightly in driving ability also. The study found that women lacked a little on spatial awareness, which, they said, may account for why motorcports such as Formula 1 and MotoGP have no women drivers because of the perception needed to corner at speed, the men would have the advantage.. Howeverin a motorsport such as Drag Racing there are no corners and this accounts for the high proportion of women who drag race.. some of which are very highly ranked in the world.
It also stated that a women would be more likely to have an accident while in a built up/busy area but as the speeds were low the injuries and damage would probably be less serious. Men who tend to be more agressive and oppurtunistic are more likely to have accidents out of town (the classic misjudged overtake or bend too fast) at high speeds where damage/injuries would be more serious

I am not sure if there is or not statistically,but in my experience riding as a passenger with both males and females I have observed the following:

One female friend of mine drives so very crappy that I have had the unfotunate luck of being a victim of 2 car wrecks while she was driving,both her fault completely.I will never get back into a car with her.lol

One male friend of mine is almost 50 ys old and has never had a ticket of anykind regarding his car,and is the most cautious driver I know.

The rest of the women I know and have rode with,, are very cautious and decent drivers that don't scare me in the slightest.

The rest of the men I know and have rode with,thier driving SCARES the living CRAP out of me!!!!!!

From my own personal eyes, I have clearly seen that women are scary behind the wheel. (Not all, but it seems every bad woman driver happens around me). I have seen women back up into cars because they forgot to shift into drive, being WAYYY too cautious and putting lives at risk (taking 5 minutes to merge onto a highway or freeway or going below the speed limit).

It would take years to list everything I've seen and heard. Us men definitely have issues, but I think when left to our own devices we beat out the women.

P.S. For all you women out there: Please...PLEASE stop trying to back into parking spots...its downright scary...

Yes, about 1 liter of testosterone! LOL Men are much more aggressive/offensive drivers on the whole! Someone tailgating you? 9 times out of ten it's a man. Someone speeding up so that you can't merge with the other lane? Man! Someone being a dick head? Man! Most of the really offensive behaviour is from men! Women are probably more prone to hold up traffic by driving at the legal limit, which is ironic, but at least they mostly err on the side of safety!

Men tend to be more reckless. As proven by U.S. insurance companies. That's why women's rates are lower than men's. Compare a 21 year old female and a 21 year old male on a car insurance quote for the same vehicle. Also, if a man is married he gets credit for that (the idea being women are more responsible).

I've been a professional driver for six years, no one knows a city's drivers better than a hardcore Austin, TX street cabby.

I will tell you this from my experiance, and that is women are more apt to obey the law and be courteous to other drivers much more so than men. By far women are much more professional at driveing than men. Sorry guys but its true, any good driving instructor will tell you, a professional driver is "one who obeys the law". Though I have seen a lot of stupid women drivers doing a lot of obsurd things out on the road. They seem to drive more on impulse rather than skill.
They are also easily distracted as I have discovered they love to rubber neck the scene of an accident just as much as men do.
