Default Women better drivers?

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=89002

Women use more parts of their brain to undertake tasks and furthermore, differences in men's and women's neurological processing can advantage women.

"However, the female brain is not as good at spatial relationships, so it is not surprising that they strike stationery objects more frequently than men."
hahah gold!

If the survey was done by an insurance company, it probably relates to their claims history, i.e more men claim on car policies than women, therefore men must be worst drivers. I dunno how they arrive at this conclusion, hell i work for an insurance company and I dont understand it myself

does it mention a woman's inability to read a road map aswell... that has to be neurologically related somehow. Spatial relationships would have to be in the same "brain section" as bearing and directional knowledge aswell.

Yeah i reckon its probably taken from figures based on claims.... they forget to total up all the minor carpark/curb/parking bingles that most females i know have experienced a few times.
