More on the Driving Debate

A little more thought about the whole stats Canada/driving thing brought me to this:
In order to assume that women are the safer drivers an accident/km traveled rate would have to come up in women’s favor. Insurance companies here give women a lower rate based on that data.

The down fall however, is stretching that data to allow for the statement women are the “better” drivers. I think at that point a clear definition of what better entails would have to be set forth. I mean if you are basing the definition solely on crash rates then it’s fair to say women rock. Any sane person wouldn’t be satisfied with that though… the word better generally has a holistic encompassing notion attached to it. That means that hesitation, speed, courage and road intelligence would have to be taken into consideration and come out in the females' favor. It’s quite the tricky subject.

Anyways enough about that... find out how good ur gaming/parking skills are
