Women are better drivers than men, says new survey
Interesting article based on telematic data available.
What piqued my interest, though, is this statement.
Firstly, if the woman had children aged between 46 and 50, that would make her late 60's onwards. Considering how many people on this forum think the over 70's should be retested, it's ironic that Admiral think that an elderly lady would make a safe driver. Mind you, if she drives a Honda and still holds down full time employment as a software engineer, then she gets my vote.
Now I know that some of you are going to say that her age should be 46 to 50, and that I am reading it wrong, but it reads exactly as I have seen it. Just goes to show that any illiterate hack can become a journalist.
When conveying a message using the written word, we need to be explicit. Ambiguity just won't do, will it?
Mind you, a few commas would have helped.
That might make more sense.
As for the rest of the article, do you believe women make better drivers than men? Or are they just less adventurous than us machos.
How do you define a better driver? What determines ability, when it is difficult or impossible to measure. After all, we each have an opinion on what is safe and what is not, and what is courteous and what is not.

According to Admiral's data, the best driver of all would be a woman with children aged between 46 and 50, living in East Anglia, working as a software engineer and driving a two or three-year-old red Honda automatic.
