Are Kenyan men better drivers than women?

The other day I had an interesting conversation with a watchman, he told m that its not that women are bad in driving, its only that they don't know much about the reverse gear, they only know drive.

So, when you start engaging a woman on how to reverse and get into a tricky parking spot, then you may have a problem. In as much as its funny, I guess there is an element of truth in his statement, of course he was speaking out of experience.

This made me wonder, are women bad drivers compared to men? Are men inclined to be better drivers compared to women? Of course this is controversial but it sounded funny.

I also noticed that people tend to behave funny when they notice its a woman driving, if a mistake is made, they say..aaahh its a woman driving, which I find very rude.

So, that was food for thought.......
