The age-old stereotype of women being bad drivers than men seems to have been quashed by a new survey of their most frequent passengers -- children.

In the survey, children claim that their mothers are better drivers than their fathers -- it is not just their driving that makes women best, but because they have better in-car entertainment. Four in 10 children say they feel safer with their mother at the wheel during a rush-hour journey to the shops or the school gate, according to the survey. Fathers are seen as risk-takers by seven in 10 children who think they are more likely to speed, suffer from road rage and have the most near-misses with other vehicles, the 'Daily Express' reported.
