Sorry Brimoan- I forgot to add that on the same thread MartinBev also had a problem:

"I have never had an accident and must have averaged 12,000 miles per year so I think this has been through good luck. What I can not understand however I have 12+ shattered windscreens ..."

A person that has qualifications to say he / she is a good driver, a person that has never had a bump or claim, a person that knows the highway code & respects it, a person that does not take risks /chances, I do not think this question can be answered in a better way.

a person that has never had a bump or claim


Thanks TWR, you know your stuff.

Insurance is always cheaper for Lady Drivers proving that they are the safest drivers, end of story!

[Old_Geezer]

All those groups have their faults. Roll on the day when the car drives itself and I can snooze in the back.

[Old_Geezer]

All that indicates is that they make fewer or smaller claims Toureman. Tells you little about being safest.

I drive professionally, and see some terrible driving.

I am sorry to say that invariably when I see really bad dangerous manoeuvres, it is a man at the wheel.

Hi factor30

I never owned a metro and I do not know anybody who has.
I did hire one in Jersey for about 5 days.
I did look at one once but went for another type of car ( a ford fiesta I think ) and never had a shattered windscreen in that car.

My mother said she was a better driver than my father as she had 1 accident against my father's 3.
The problem is she only ever owned 2 cars and the total mileage was 80,000.
My father had to use his car for work and he drove between 30,000 and 40,000 miles a year for 30 years of his working life.
This does not include hire cars. He was sent abroad on several occasions and hired a car at the airport.

I put the wrong answer!! I looked at the answers down here first and got confused! lol! I think male drivers are the safest but put ladies by accident! =s

The insurance companies would definately know and would be reflected in the premiums.

[Psybbo]

Unfair question

[LoftyLottie]

Ticked mature to indicate those with a mature attitude rather than of mature years.

I'd like to know why B. is Lady Drivers and not Female Drivers as opposed to C. Male drivers - it seems a very old fashioned term and when does a 'Lady' or a 'male' become 'Mature' i.e. How do we know what percentage of Mature drivers are 'female'?

[furrypusscat]

As a past driving instructor (lady), females tended to be the safest but when it came to reversing manoeuvers, ie parking, they weren't as good as the men.
