Hey, hey, now! LOL! I'm a woman driver. My father taught me how to drive and told me I was the best woman driver he ever knew! That was a very big compliment coming from him. He was right though; I am an excellent driver. :o)

As far as I'm aware, women have far more minor crashes than men. On the other side, when men do crash, it tends to be rather fatal. Can't remember what my point was.
Anyway, the whole 'stereotype' thing should probably be done away with. It's quite silly.
However, I do think that someone should be able to make whatever manner of comic they like. Free speech and all that.

Every group, culture, and walk of life is picked on and made fun of. No one is special and no one is exempt. You have to be mature and brush it off if it offends you, just because I say a person is something doesn't make it true.

I agree, the whole "women can't drive or read maps" crap is getting old and tiresome.
by Jadey - Vive la difference on December 4th, 2009
Haha.... I think women might be crap drivers to be honest. Whenever I see someone acting like a fool on the road, its a woman.
I think women just apparantly have fewer insurance claims than men because they either drive less, or get their husbands to claim it.

I am afraid I laugh too Mensan as I know it isnt true and it ceased to upset me years ago.
I tend to counter with sayings like
"Equality is a myth, women are better,"
"When God made man, she was only joking."
We need to be less sensitive and laugh more.
It is only hate filled jokes I find offensive. Vive la difference.

Stereotypes are often used in humour, and very few people are exempt. I see adverts on TV in which men are useless, unthinking cavemen, and there is an element of truth in most stereotypes as most of the women I know aren't very good drivers. There is a cartoon strip in a national newspaper in the UK set in a football team, where the manager is Scottish so he is an alcoholic and the chairman is gay so wears pink suits all the time, and part of the joke for me with the use of stereotypes is laughing at the writer's 1970's way of thinking as much as the actual jokes themselves.

Women aren't better or worse drivers than men. They're just....different....;-D....
by playdoo on March 15th, 2010
come on , if it wasn't for stereotypes comics wouldn't exist and in there place would be dull boring comments about how wonderful everyone is. In each of us is a stereotype of some sort and you should take any non violent poke at fun in good stride. Maybe they should have a comic about an uptight political correct individual who thinks they should inflict their lack of seeing anything funny in anything. Maybe I'm just disagreeing because i'VE BEEN RUN OVER TWICE BY TWO DIFFERENT WOMEN and am now in a wheel chair..........................ok I'm just kidding.
Seriously however you suggest we limit free speech EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE ITS MISGUIDED its not up to you or to me to decide the taste of humour or art even if you think it is in bad taste. All you have to do is close what you are reading or stop buying what offends you Read history and decide if any culture who banned or burned books or newspapers were any good .

It would be funnier if it had HIS on it. I've been in the insurance business too long - though I'm out now. Dealing with male drivers is a pain in the butt. Their aggressiveness does not improve either; they channel it in other ways.
.
Women ARE better drivers. It's a fact in EVERY insurance company. After being an agent for several years, my humor about women drivers is non-existent. I can only surmise it was some guy who made it up who felt very insecure about his masculinity, and caught on by other insecure guys.
.
The exception is Mensan, of course, and AB men.

Women are not better drivers than men.
What tends to happen is that if someone (male or female) drives frequently and for longer distances they become more confident and better in their driving. This often leads them to have fewer accidents, but also to drive faster so that when they do have an accident, it's a more serious one.
So... in those places where men drive to work as well as drive the family around, while women only drive to the local supermarket or their kids' school and back, men tend to have fewer but bigger accidents. As gender equality is reached, the percentage of female drivers on the road at any time approaches 50%, and the number and severity of accidents similarly becomes the same.

Women are certainly safer drivers than men.

they are better at driving me crazy
Why is the Boondocks cartoon a weird Black Anime? The comic isn't like that?

You're reading Isn't it time that stereotype comic panels (like the LINKed one below this question) be eliminated? Everyone knows, or should know, that women are much better drivers than men. Don't you agree?

And I agree with you. But personally, if I ever killed or seriously hurt someone, I wouldn't care how great a driver I was.
by anon on December 3rd, 2009
Well maybe you need to worry about that OleNewbie; but unless someone jumps in front of my car, it's highly unlikely I will ever have to worry about that. I'm very alert and a defensive driver. You'll never see me talking on my cellphone, texting, or putting makeup on while driving. I'm actually involved with watching the road and observing what's going on in front of me while I'm driving.

I'm with you. Once, I was at a busy intersection. I had the right of way, but this guy was making a dash for it. I was just starting to make the turn and he hit the side of my car with his hand, smiled and ran across the 4 lane road. I was so terror-struck, he turned around to stare at me and I had to stop and get my breath. One more foot and I would have run over him.

I was reading about this lady who was backing out of her garage, when she heard the sound of the left side of her car, scraping along the garage entrance. Panic-striken, she slammed the car into forward gear and gunned the engine smashing the front end into the rear garage wall and putting a hole in it.
.
She quickly threw the car into reverse again and as she was backing out of the garage, she again heard the sounds of the rubber molding door guards being peeled off of the car, because she was still to close to the left side of the garage entrance. But, she kept on backing out, as she continued to hear the sound of the molding being peeled off of her car.
.
As she continued backing out, she heard a little girl scream, "YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED HER!" She gunned it forward again, smashing into the right side of the garage entrance. Then rolling down the driver's window, she yelled, "WHO DID I KILL?"
.
The child yelled back, "MY DOLLY! YOU KILLED HER!" [MORE]

The woman sighed and thought to herself, "To Hell with this. I'm leaving!"
.
She put the car once again into reverse and was horrified to hear the sounds of a dog yelping in agony, as she backed over his foot.
.
Putting the car in forward once more, she turned the wheel to the extreme right, and drove right through her hedges and onto her front lawn. She decided to continue going forward while looking out the back window of her car at her newly-destroyed hedges, and that little girl crying, because her dolly had "died."
.
Because she was looking backward instead of forward, she drove right into a kid on a bicycle, whom she didn't see, knocking him to the ground.
.
And then, to make matters worse, she lost control of the car.

Mensan, thank you for your throw-up story. I'm sure you have many more, just put a warning before them so I can upchuck first. What a character you must be! At least it topped mine. I still have an answer that needs your attention. Guess what I'll be thinking of next time I get in my car?
by anon on December 4th, 2009
You SHOULD be thinking: "Look straight ahead. Don't answer the cell phone. I will not drink alcohol while driving!"
by Anonymous on December 4th, 2009
Those don't apply to me, except where I'm looking. I'll be thinking of dead dolls and dog's feet and kids lying on the street thrown from their bicycles and Mensan!
by anon on December 4th, 2009
Then please do not drive, because, respectfully, if you are thinking of those things, you won't concentrating on your driving.
