I'm not going to go into all the silly name-calling - men are fast drivers, women are slow drivers, A goes too fast, B dithers - it's ridiculous. I've been driving for over 40 years and I am a good driver (a lousy passenger but a good driver). I don't speed and I don't hesitate and, most importantly, I drive correctly on motorways.

I know a lot of women drivers, some are very good and some are pretty dreadful. I know a lot of men drivers and exactly the same applies. My son is an HGV driver so, yes, he's a pretty good driver. Both my daughters drive well (and, believe me, as the world's worst passenger I'd soon tell you if they didn't). One of my friends is not very good and I won't let her drive me, my son-in-law drives his car as if he was riding his motor-bike so - ditto.

Driving ability isn't gender dependant. You either have it or you don't.
