Perception of Driveing Men & Women
I believe that driving patterns differ in both men and women because their thought patterns are contradictory.My sister recently bought a nineteen eighty-four Camaro, and was added to my parent's insurance, after having her first wreck. Her insurance is somehow significantly lower than my own when I began driving. She and I got into an argument about male and female driving differences, and this is what I found: It’s a proven scientific fact that men and women perceive, as well as process things differently because their brains work in opposite directions. Statistically men are more right brained and women are more left brained. The left side of the brain is the side that is more verbal, detail-oriented, and sorting. On the other hand, the right side is the spatial intuitive nonverbal side. Now that I’ve thoroughly confused you, and you're asking what in the world is my point, I'll explain. Stereotypically, your average heterosexual female is more left brained which as I said before makes her more verbal, and detail-oriented. So, stereotypically would your average female be a better driver? Keep in mind I said your average heterosexual male is more intuitive, less likely t
So, who is the better driver? You’re average stereotypical heterosexual male, or female? Actually, in my opinion they’re equal. Stereotypically you can’t say that all males are terrible drivers even if scientific evidence says that they run almost completely on intuition. If an average male is put into a situation where there is no time to mull over each possibility he will make the decision based on what comes natural to him. He doesn’t stop his every physical action and scream at himself uncontrollably “WHAT DO I DO!?” Intuition is defined (Oxford, 1980, s.v. “Intuition”) as “the power of knowing or understanding something immediately without reason or being taught.” So our average male when driving runs on pure instinct. He doesn’t stop to think he acts quickly with what comes naturally to his mind. However, our average female is more thought provoked, more likely to stop and consider the consequences of a situation. When she drives she consciously contemplates every available situation. He acts as rational as his instincts allow him. His spatial capabilities also help him when it comes to an emergency in the driver’s seat. If he must move his hands and feet to get the job done he is more likely to succeed. Personally, I think that men and women’s driving abilities equal out. Different brain patterns c
