While driving around the villages I see more women driving the golf cart while the man is a passenger.To me this is different then what I'm used to seeing. I myself am the driver of whatever vehicle my wife & I are traveling in pretty close to % 100 of the time. Just wondering if someone would enlighten me why they think more women are the drivers here in The Villages.

I cannot speak for everyone but several of my female friends drive because their husbands are legally blind. My husband still drives our cart and he has noticed this too. It will be interesting to hear the replies to your question.

Obviously women are better drivers.
Oh, settle down, I'm kidding.

I don't know about better. I do think more cautious & slower drivers.

He has the car; she has the cart. Only slightly chauvinistic. But, then, I was one of the females who drove most of the time -- I was the better driver.

Does it really matter. My wife and I handle it this way. If she feels like driving she does. If I feel like driving I do.

We have two carts....his and hers. When I want to go somewhere I drive my cart. When he wants to go somewhere he drives his cart. When we agree on going the same place....he takes his cart. I drive slower and more cautiously. I think men, in general, drive with their hair on fire!!

Maybe women are better at being the Designated Driver?

Hubby always drives the car, and I the golf cart. It gives him a break and a chance to enjoy the surroundings for a change. I get to enjoy them when we're in the car. Car/roads his territory, golf cart/trails my territory that way no mistakes by drivers driving on wrong territory.

Yes this is very true...my husband is one who isnt able to drive anymore due to his eye sight

I encourage my wife to drive both the car and the cart. In the event that I get hit by an asteroid, I want Wifey to be somewhat familiar as a driver with the roads and traffic patterns in the area, to learn her way around the area, and to know what a car or cart feels like during normal operations so that she can describe problems with either vehicle to a technician.

And, as obxgal stated about her hubby, it gives me a chance to chill and enjoy TV and surrounding area as a passenger.

But, I still end up doing most local and 100% of the highway driving when we ride together.

I think that, generally speaking, the men are older than the women in a relationship. Perhaps the men are no longer able to drive for one reason or another and their wives chauffeur them.

It's so cute when women try to do man things.

[jblum315]

I know why. It's because women are better at finding their way. Men simply will not ask for directions
