Default Girls unfit to drive s2k?

maybe a repost but

"Women driving Honda S2000s, for example, were 14 times as likely to be involved in an accident than those driving a Ford Fiesta Ghia."

the whole story here http://uknews.newsquest.co.uk/index.phtml?...4&area=bradford

Funny, but I don't think its the gender that causes accidents. Its your driving capabilities; s2000 or a "Ford Siesta Ghia" it doesn't matter.

I've seen some females driving s2000's and I'd have to say most of them were pretty hot. especially one that drives a gpw with hardtop.

it all depends on the driver. not gender.

I agree with that but I'd have to say there's some truth to the article. A majority of women just don't have as much dexterity on driving as men, especially with high performance cars like s2000s.

I dont' mean to sound sexist, but I think more guys put more time into learning how to drive better than most women. For example, more guys are probably familiar with countersteering than girls, and oversteer is a problem in a lot of sports cars.

However, the news article doesn't really compare accidents involving guys when they are driving s2000s vs the Ford car.
