My sister rolled the family Camry 5 times on a straight section of road she is very familiar with, on a clear day, with no traffic. She also hit a guy who "took too long to complete his right turn". She has also never learned to ride a bicycle, and I gave up trying to teach her how to drive a manual after she tried to shift 1st to 3rd without using the clutch or letting up on the throttle.

Agree with Frank's comments above about women setting things at all or nothing. My wife is a good driver, but does tend to vacillate between full hot and full cold settings, or between too quiet and too loud.

That said, men are aggressive and get in more serious accidents. I've done 155 MPH on the motorcycle on public roads in my youth, and most women would have no interest in that.
