There is no doubt that driver education is important ... as are graduated licences ... and experience. But there are some people who are just plain bad drivers. They don't react; they over react; they panic; they yak on cell phones, they crank the tunes; and they ignore warnings: for example, if you are driving in this area after dark, and you see a sign with an outline of a deer on it and the words: "Warning, severe night danger", it is appropriate to be on the look out for Bambi .... and Slow Down, put on the high beams, look for their eyes, and don't be surprised if a deer comes leaping out of the trees. And in winter driving conditions, if you start to slide around, Don't Brake hard, or you will lose control of your vehicle.

And I don't think that it is a gender thing that makes one driver better than another.
