Mrs D is pretty much as good as I am and were about evens after all these years. She's also a trained police advanced, pursuit, response and tactical driver, so ability wise would kick the average male driver in the cojones.
Far too many male drivers think they're better than they are, and that's why they're mainly the ones doing the slaughtering on the road.
I know what you mean, in both aspects
My working life (well, the past 20 years) has been at a local Hospital, with a very busy A&E department
Most of the RTCs that we see, invariably, the driver involved is male (be it the cause, or victim)
We had a young lad work with us (maybe 22??), he had... no idea how... a Vauxhall Astra VXR(??) - the present shape
(cheap insurance deal/free from dealer/insured as lower spec???? - I have no idea)
He was on a local bypass that has a roundabout at one point, that requires a definite lift-off/brake/gear-change/re-position of the vehicle
Like many, he's of the 'PlayStation generation', & (presumably) believed that practice (along with passing his test) made him great
He clipped a kerb on approach, unsettled the vehicle, hit a lamp-post, which stopped the vehicle
It dropped, caber like, onto the car
Thankfully for him, he had no passengers, as it fell onto the passenger side, crushing the roof
He left employment soon after, I have heard that he now thinks he's invincible' & an even better driver
I expect to read the announcement in the obituaries of the local paper soon
Going back to where I work, & what I see
My wife often tells me that I drive too slow, fail to go for a gap in the traffic flow (from a junction, etc..)
I've seen the results, & talked to far too many of the areas Traffic Officers over the years to change
Plus the Paramedics, & 'Trumpton', who've had to turn cars into convertibles. etc..
@Drago I salute your lady wife & yourself
