Maybe in Australia...in the good old U.S. of A, there's no way (although, I'm a pretty damned good driver, despite my lead foot lol)
I think many people, in general, are bad drivers these days. We all have something distracting us. Women in my area are always talking on the phone in their car, which makes them drive erratically--it makes me want to ram my big, gas-guzzling SUV into their oblivious rear-ends (It's the "I love my kids" stickers that would make me feel guilty lol). But I live in an area that boasts one of the highest military presences in the world, so when you get so many people from so many different areas (and so many different ideas about how to drive), you can expect half the cars around you to have dents in them.
The key to avoidance, in my book, is driving defensively. I just assume that every single person around me is a blithering idiot, and I've managed to avoid at least three dozen serious accidents (at least five would have, no doubt, been fatal) in my life. I've only been in one accident, and that was getting rear-ended at a stop light at 45mph. Interestingly, it was a chick on her phone lol. My children were 5-years and 4-months old at the time, strapped tightly in the back seat. But I had a hatchback, which was totaled; so I was obviously ready to tear her "weave" out, and probably would have if my husband and her (whatever) hadn't diffused the situation.
I now drive a very safe Pathfinder, and I notice people DO treat it a bit differently lol. Can't recall the last time someone rode my ass, which happened all the time in my wee-car.

Here are the differences that I see. For young drivers, men are more reckless (speed and lane changes) and women are more distracted (have you ever seen a car full of girls yakking away so much that the driver had no idea what was going on around them?). For the more experienced driver, then it depends on the individual. I can’t tell you how many women I have seen putting on makeup while they drive. On the other hand, I have seen more than a fair share of men paying more attention to the women in the cars they pass, or on the side of the street, or on the billboards, than the traffic they are in. I know, typical male.
Female teens are decidedly safer than male teens. My wife and daughter are both excellent drivers. One of them is a teen!
Men are way better drivers!! Was out on hte motorbike and almost got crashed into by a woman, she was too busy looking at houses insted of the road, and almost had a women driver crash into the side of my mates car when we were testing his new car out
i have no opinion about this
My wife was one of the first female race car drivers in the country she is a much better driver than I .I never really cared for driving myself
