I remember reading a paper that found bad driving was found to be genetic. So of driving is genetic why not other things?

That's racist, or sexist, or xenophobic! I haven't read it, but I don't have to read it to know it's one of those things! /s

The study doesn't reveal much information about the 22 participants who lacked the gene.

The driving test was taken by 29 people -- 22 without the gene variant and seven with it. They were asked to drive 15 laps on a simulator that required them to learn the nuances of a track programmed to have difficult curves and turns. Researchers recorded how well they stayed on the course over time. Four days later, the test was repeated.

Results showed that people with the variant did worse on both tests than the other participants, and they remembered less the second time. "Behavior derives from dozens and dozens of neurophysiologic events, so it's somewhat surprising this exercise bore fruit," Cramer said.

"I'd be curious to know the genetics of people who get into car crashes," Cramer said. "I wonder if the accident rate is higher for drivers with the variant."

Don't let your insurance company get their hands on your DNA.

there are many behaviors that are genetically driven, very much because of race.

black people are drastically less likely to buy sunscreen than northern europeans.

SHOCKING!

RACISM!

newsflash: black people have more melanin in their skin and are much more resistant to sun burn than northern europeans, who often have the least melanin of any major bloodline.

but it doesn't end there... there are plenty of other things which are absolutely genetically driven in behavior. the racial differences are certainly measurable, but sex is even more distinct. in literally 100% of studies that have ever reviewed risk aversion, women are many times more risk averse than men. there are tons of other dimensions where women get destroyed by men on the stats, so the leftards were quick to jump to claiming it's behaviorally induced and from society's expectations. except it isn't... studies have gone on to measure those differences comparing countries and cultures, and the data proves overwhelmingly that it goes the other direction. the gaps smallest in countries were women are the most oppressed (usually middle east), while the gaps are the largest in the countries where women have not only equality but privileges surpassing male rights (nordic countries).

all this marxist bullshit is just a shit test.

They needed a study to prove women are bad at driving? \s

In my experience this is true. I can call the race of every bad driver I get behind. Girlfriend is amazed that I can tell if it is an asian, black, woman, old, etc before I can even see them. I get it right every time.

This is something that I'm ultra skilled at now that you mention it. It's basically never the 40 year old white guy doing stupid shit on the road.
