Clemens' State Speed Limit bill SB 392

It seems like Sen Jeff Clemens is holding his ground on what he believes, and a bunch of women senators won't deter him regarding his bill SB 392 to raise the speed limit to 75 on some highways in Florida.

According to men, what do women know about driving? Men think all women are lousy drivers anyway.  Several women senators are critical of his bill, calling it dangerous and an invitation to more car crashes. The opponents include Sens. Nancy Detert, R-Venice; Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville; Dorothy Hukill, R-Port Orange; Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa; Gwen Margolis, D-Aventura; Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood; and Geraldine Thompson, D-Orlando.

So who are better drivers: men or women?
The Answer Is ...
In a study released by Quality Planning, an analytics company that validates policyholder information for auto insurers, women came out on top. The study analyzed different kinds of vehicle code violations (traffic violations) and then compared how many times men were cited versus women. The conclusion was that men break more traffic laws and drive more dangerously than women. Because they violate laws designed to make the roads safer, men cause more accidents and expensive damage.  See the stats,

So, maybe Sen Clemens should be listening to these women senators who are against his bill.
