I went to a 2 month long driving school that included many road tests, as well as exams of the laws, and basic rules of the road. Most people I meet drove around the block at their high school though and got their license. That right there should explain a lot. Every time I drive with a woman, she fully admits to me that they suck at driving, and say that most women suck at driving in general before I say anything. I just moved from CT, where there is too much traffic to go fast most places, and there is too much bad weather there to not know how to drive in it. However, I just moved to Arizona, and even with few cars on the road and no bad weather, people literally suck at driving. They don't seem to have the ability to read what the cars in front of them are doing, and just slam on the brakes constantly, causing traffic where there shouldn't be any. Still, getting places is faster than CT without the sheer number of cars on the road.

However, poor female driving can be literally explained scientifically. It's part of our how brains work. Read the first part of this article to see how it's true:

Here's a copy and paste of the article:

Women Can't Drive and Park For Shit

There is allegedly one thing women and blind men have in common: their ability to navigate. Even Google loves this stereotype, tossing back an impressive 75,200,000 hits when we typed in "women can't park."

Then there are the supposed differences in the ways women and men get from one parking spot to the next, a practice often referred to as "driving." According to the Hollywood formula, men navigate by compass directions and a stubborn refusal to ask for directions ever, while women get from here to there by using landmarks, a winning smile and a little leg. Tell a woman to turn north, then east and then north again and every sexist comedy writer we polled here at Cracked agreed she'd get turned around faster than a frog in a blender.

So, if this ridiculous stereotype were true, then Mother Nature has given men a serious edge in the "getting around" department. But that can't be right, because the decade of the 70s promised us that Mother Nature doesn't favor people based on race, sexual orientation or whether or not there are dangly parts between their legs.

What Science Says:

Several studies have shown that heterosexual men are better at both navigating by north-south directions and at orienting themselves in three dimensional space than women. Why did men win the spatial perception jackpot? No, the answer isn't sex this time, it's food. Well, actually, it's both.

In the days before grocery stores and mini malls, mankind had to actually go hunt and gather for his daily mammoth chops. Scientists think that testosterone helped early men find their way home again after a long day of hunting, ensuring that they were the ones impregnating their mates and continuing their line while the spatially challenged became saber tooth tiger snacks.

Not only that, but one researcher actually scanned the brains of over a million kids and found that by age four, the boys were already surpassing the girls in spatial ability by a ratio of 4:1. She also found that while girls did just fine at seeing two dimensions in the brain, boys had the ability to see a third dimension, allowing them to understand the concept of depth at an earlier age.

And yeah... the same isn't necessarily true for gay men, who tend to navigate like women. Literally. That was not an insult.
