OUCH It is so bad that my husband insisted recently on driving home after his hospitalization. But I agree with your wife in general about male drivers and speed, but it's young men who as a group who are the worst. (Insurance statistics bear that out.)  Having said that, I live in South Florida which in a recent poll was voted as having the rudest  drivers in the US. We also have the most dangerous intersection (by far) in the US too. Fast and aggressive driving is common here.

Geoff:
The insurance statistics over here probably agree but there is a growing 
core of younger women drivers -often business professionals - who take 
to driving around very aggressively in small sports saloons.

Again, I was driving home last night on my way back from Cardiff doing 
about 60 mph on a straight stretch of road a mile or so from home when 
I was cut up by a woman driver in a big Audi saloon driving at about 75 
who then had to slow down abruptly approaching a series of curves; she 
obviously didn't know the road.

I not being sexist but merely making the point that young male drivers are 
not the only "accidents looking for somewhere to happen"on the roads over 
here.

Where's my tin hat?
