Testosterone

Do fast aggressive drivers generally have more testosterone than moderate drivers?

Judging by the number of women I have seen screaming down the road, I would have to say "not necessarily"

My casual observation is that there are more females (especially young ones) than males,
careening down the road while blabbing into the cell phone held to their ear with one hand.

That's outright dangerous, impaired driving.

No. Just bigger egos and a false sense of invincibility .

I would have to agree with that.

Testosterone,however, is responsible for higher levels of aggression.

Speeding and tailgating are aggressive acts.

Hmmm..

Many chicks do that to me as well. But I think with a male, he is usually aware of his aggressive driving. The female is usually quite unaware (and just plain stupid) in hers.

Both types should have their licenses revoked permanently as they do in other parts of the world. Too much slack in this damn country, if you ask me in regards to reckless driving. Heck, even some of the authorities show a lack of respect (weaving in and out of traffic without using T-Signal indicators, endangering surrounding traffic).

Driving is a privilege, not a right. If one cannot respect the rules of the road, then you are not fit to be behind the wheel. Period.

I'm tired of the injustice of it ALL!

Taking away a driver's license won't help.

They will just drive w/o a license--like many do i California.

Impound the car, that will solve the problem.

BTW, I've never seen a chick drive a car, except in a Tyson's chicken commercial.

I've seen lots of women (old and young) driving, however.

when my sister used to jog in the morning the paperman said to her a couple of times, "Hey chicka chicka". My parents called the paper and complained and they put a new person on the route.

With all this female driver bashing...
Let me interject this little bit of irony.
Females - for the most part. Make better (non-combat) pilots then men do.
