Heheh, I taught my ex to drive, and she failed her test too. She was always fine driving with me, but when the test came, there was a truck parked in her lane (she was in the right lane, in a merge situation), so somehow she panicked, jammed down the gas, without turning, and the tester had to slam on his brake. She was failed right there.
As for girl + asian = "not a good combination"...I would have to disagree, and say girl + asian = hot <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Now for some actual scientific fact to go into this argument for girls being worse drivers than guys on average. It's not a poorly placed stereotype, it's to do with how the human brain interprets fast moving 3D images. I've seen and read several things on this subject, and to simplify it, the male brain doesn't have the same connection in between the two hemispheres (in fact, women have a superior connection between the two). Somehow this translates to the male brain being superior at handling fast moving 3D objects and motor response (ie. driving). The female brain is better at handling detail, and remembering things that the male brain simply forgets. It was a funny test to prove this part. They had a study group of 50 men, 50 women, put them all in a waiting room, one at a time for 10 minutes. However, the waiting room was the actual test, because as soon as they pulled them out, they asked them to right down everything they remembered from the room. All the guys were like..."well, there was a table...and it was brownish...and 2 chairs or something...", all the girls were like, "so there was a table, about 6 feet by 4 feet, two legs attached with two supports each...a red clock on the eastern wall with 3 hands on it, the second hand was blue instead of black like the others..."
So the perfect driving team, for rally or something, should be a man to drive, and a woman to tell him where to go.<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
