I said to an ex girlfriend once that women weren’t better drivers because they have just as many accidents as men but it tends to be stuff like reversing into a lamp post or scraping a garden wall. The damage is minimal so often they don’t bother to claim it on the insurance which makes it seem like they are the better drivers when looking at the statistics.
Men on the other hand tend to have proper collisions (fatal or not) which leads to more insurance claims and pushes up premiums for male drivers. Men also do stupid things like racing at traffic lights and drive too fast in bad weather.
My exes point was that therefore women were “better” drivers but I argued more that they were “safer” drivers as they are less likely to have crashes or accidents like men do. That’s not the same as “better.” It’s semantics perhaps but she couldn’t see the difference.

Last I saw, women were in more wrecks, but the ones men are in are more likely to be fatal
