Women shouldn’t be behind the wheels. When I saw that
sentences the first thing I thought was ‘really?’. I certainly have heard of a
certain study that says the majority of drivers involved in some form of
vehicle related accident every year are women, but when I thought about it more
deeply I arrived at a single conclusion. Cause of accidents varied by each
individuals but from my observation on my family members, female friends and acquaintances,
I believe it mainly have to do with personality of the driver themselves and
not affected by their own gender.
My mother who have a reserved and careful personality rarely
got into accident, there was an incident where she accidentally rammed someone
else car when she was parking her car but such mistakes are so common that I conclude
it to be within the margin of error.
And there is also my elder sister who is borderline tomboy,
there are only one word to describe her driving skill, reckless. The way she
handled her car could have landed her a cast as a racer in ‘Fast & Furious’
movie. The type of high speed driving that would have make anyone, specifically
me, blood ran cold. She only trashed her car a few times when she first got her
license but she rarely got into one in recent years.
Compared to my mother and elder sister, me and my brother
are much more destructive with our own driving. Between me and my brother we
would get into a couple of accident each year, because I myself didn’t drive
that much my own record is pretty clear but my brother has his own brand or
recklessness and like to drove of at every chance he have. I like to call
myself a careful driver like my mother is and as such I rarely caught in an
accident, although it’s a different story with motorcycles, my elder sister and
brother unfortunately inherited my father hot headed blood and projected it in their
driving.
I conclude that bad driving skill isn't affected by what gender you are but with your personality and habit instead.
