I don't think speeding is inherently competitive... Not paying attention is quickest way to a ticket though. I cannot count how many times I've spotted popo in the shadows and hit my brakes only to see the car in front or behind me get hit for going slower than me :/

I think the biggest difference in driving between men and women is men just don't care about anyone. It's like they don't even give a thought to what the person in the car next to or across from them is going to do. They just drive and do whatever they want without even trying to communicate with anyone. It's most certainly the reason men are more prone to more traffic violations and are reasonably charged higher insurance rates. It's nothing to do with competition it's just wanton disregard for fellow drivers.

I'm not saying everyone needs to smile and cede their turn to someone else at every four way stop (thouggh it can be a nice gesture sometimes), but ffs at least try to understand what the other person is aiming to do. A lot men can learn from women about driving.
