women drivers

I often wonder who wrote that "women are better drivers than men", is it a woman or a man? Somehow I got a feeling that it is a woman. I would probably get flamed by women who disagree about what I am about to write but I do not agree with the statement that women are better drivers than men.

Here are my reasons after the following observations:-
- many women drivers are oblivious to their surroundings or surrounding vehicles or objects
- cannot park their cars properly in designated parking spaces (with boxes or painted lines)
- they can suddenly stop in the middle of the street just because she is confused about where she is suppose to go
- indicate the wrong way
- drift from lane to lane without indicating (lazy men do this too!)
- only looks one car ahead instead of looking further ahead
- does not slow down when entering an intersection in anticipation of on coming traffic from the side
- drive really slowly on the fast lane
- don't know the concept of fast lane and slow lane
- freak out when they are lost and do silly things
- poor judgement of space and dimensions

Men are considered bad drivers because of the following:
- drive too fast
- like to race on the streets
- too aggressive on the road
- inconsiderate on the road
- cause more accidents because of aggressive and fast driving and reckless driving

I am not a sexist but based on my personal observations over the years and sitting as a passenger in cars driven by men and women, I can conclude that men are better drivers overall than women. Men are only slightly better drivers then women. Women are usually involved is a lot of small accidents such as fender benders and many bumps and scrapes, however men are involved in more major accidents that could result in death because of the speed of which they were driving.
