oh I am so proud of myself... truly outdid myself this time... leading my silent rebellion as my mother puts it...
In our fast-paced lifestyle, most people choose to transport themselves in a personal vehicle. Many men in their pigheaded, ignorant ways believe that women are poor drivers compared to their own saintly selves. For example, when my father sees a woman do something he considers “wrong” in traffic he always mutters “must be a woman” and then quickly follows with “YOU PINHEAD! GET OFF THE ROAD!!” But if anyone was to look at the facts, female drivers are not that bad after all.
A survey was completed in 2004 measuring the characteristics of male and female drivers on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 as the least and 100 as the greatest or most likely. Females tested, overall, to be safer (male- 68.02, female- 71.75) and more courteous (72.97, 75.19) drivers. Male drivers, however, proved to be more aggressive (58.27, 54.73) with a higher tendency towards road rage (57.81, 51.37). Statistics provided by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) states that the intoxication rate (those over .08 Blood Alcohol Content) for male drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2003 was 25 percent, compared with 12 percent for female drivers.
Women are, in general, kinder and less hostile, showing such nature on the road. Women are also much less likely to accidentally kill someone in a drunken stupor. So yes, please, evict women from the road and allow men to be fully responsible for road rage, hostility, anger, fender-benders, fatal accidents, screw-ups, US dependency on foreign oil, harmful emissions, smog, the depleting ozone layer, global warming, and eventually the end of the world.
