Hmmm do you know the difference between correlation and cause? And I’m the idiot? You’re obviously not a science major because any LOGICAL scientist would say accept nothing until its proven. Relying on correlation over direct cause, oh yes, you’re very logical.

Actually, it should probably be “passenger of the same sex” and “passenger of the opposite sex”

Because, as the comments reveal, neither sex thinks the other can drive.

Men have demonstrably better depth perception than women, on the whole. (Individual cases will, of course, vary significantly.)

This needs an additional bar for “guy in the next lane who wants to get in front of me.” Of course it’d be at something like 75 feet.

What does accidents have to do with this? Guys like to do crazy crap in cars that why we have more accidents. Women do over-eaggerate it happpens. No matter what it is. Espicailly mothers

I’m the Mom referred to in the graph and I thought it was hilarious!

Fewer women are in accidents then men. Its proven that a greater following distance decreases accidents. I don’t see the need to run experiments, when logic will suffice.

Hes not sexist, you’re an idiot.

Soooooooo … if the ‘male’ and ‘female’ columns were switched, could I whine about sexism like you all do?

That was dumb… If you’re a woman then you just proved that you are stupid!! You said “You must think women are stupid or something”, then you said “Other THEN that it is accurate!” You should have said other THAN that… Think before you speak.

It wouldn’t be sexist if it is based off of the experience of the person who made the graph. Technically, it could be perfectly accurate for the creator, where as it would be completely different if someone else made it.

It isn’t sexist. It is only sexist because you see it that way.

Well, it could be that his mom is never a passenger.

I reacted to the same thing when I first saw the graph, though.

Actually it’s not sexist, it’s a biological difference. Men have better depth perception while women see colors brighter.

Sounds like you hear that in places other than the car as well…

By: Daemon

Daemon — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:05:33 +0000

And yours is?

By: R

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:04:57 +0000

Yes, this! There should be a ‘driver’ category on the left side, an ‘actual distance’ in the middle and ‘my mom’ on the right side.

By: Daemon

Daemon — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:04:44 +0000

Men tend to get lengths wrong when it comes to certain things…

By: dave

dave — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:48:11 +0000

dude, the male column should be larger than the actual distance.

that would mean they are tailgating the person in front of them but still think they have plenty of space.

FAIL

Nwabby — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:40:13 +0000

It’s not. Trust me. Although men do tend to OVERestimate the distance.

By: Lynx

Lynx — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:27:52 +0000

For me this would be opposite. My mom is a maniac driver and I tend to yell at her, while I keep overly-cautious distances.

But men are genetically superior to women. It’s a proven fact.

By: AshGavs

AshGavs — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:37:04 +0000

So youre saying youve done a thorough experiment to test this? Are you absolutely positive this is true. That girls are always that much more far off than men in estimating the distance between two cars? And that its because of their gender and not some other factor?

Its sexist. and your comment reveals you’re sexist.

By: DragonKat

DragonKat — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:48:33 +0000

I think there should be a category that over estimates the space…

What about the stupid comment on the bumper sticker? Those always seem to thing you’re RIGHT THERE!

By: Yosh

Yosh — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 02:25:55 +0000

No. Women tend to be more cautious and, therefore, more apt to judge the safety in certain situations as being lacking.

also, his distance judgment is pretty good, eh

Yes. This. Exactly this. But i’d interchange “female passenger” and “male passenger” columns.
