YouTube search for “female driver” yields more than 3,000 results: You can watch women drivers shearing off gas pumps, veering into swimming pools and destroying every car in the vicinity while attempting to parallel park. Another woman manages to roll her car on to its roof pulling into a driveway.A similar search, this time for “male driver,” pulls up just 348 videos – about one-tenth as many. Why are there so few videos about bad male drivers – and so many featuring women? Do women actually produce more camera-worthy driving disasters? Are women worse drivers than men?
According to a new Harris-Decima poll, Canadians think the answer is yes. When asked who was better at driving, 36 per cent of those polled said men were. A lower number (29 per cent) thought women were the best drivers.
The poll also suggests that age-old prejudices live on, largely due to the male tendency to consider himself better equipped for the road: Some 48 per cent of the men polled said they were superior drivers – but only 25 per cent of the women respondents said they were better.
