Amen to that brother!Nothing its great to be alive.
[
A highly qualified police driver I know (who's been retired for quite a while now) told me some years ago ........
I know I shouldn't say it but every single near miss I've had have been caused by Women, really don't mean anything by it, it's just an observation, I am afterall a Woman driver myself....
.... "if you see a bit of careless driving, the odds are it's a woman. If you see a bit of reckless or dangerous driving, the odds are it's a man."
Obviously, it's a generalisation, but over the years, my experience has been that it isn't far off the mark. It's probably less true now, however, than it was 20 or 30 years ago.
You don't think this clearly shows that although men have more crashes than women, this is obviously down to the fact that young men are boy racers and razz around the place getting into crashes. Remove them from the stats, and you'll find that women, in general, just aren't very good at driving, speshly the more exact stuff, like parking, and not running over peoples faces, and deffo are the cause of more prangs and bumps.No not that Guy, this was a Woman in one of them flippin' 4x4'smy Cars only ickle
I know I shouldn't say it but every single near miss I've had have been caused by Women
I do.
EDIT - Didn't read what Saracen wrote, and its pretty much the same point. It must now be true if we both think so.
Interesting as I was going to add in my post that of all the reckless driving i've seen it's been a male driver, had one bloke overtake me on a bendand I wasn't exactly slow at 60.
60 on a bend... typical woman.
I suppose you were doing your make-up, or having your period, or BEING A WOMAN at the same time, no doubt.
Or crying. At a wedding.
Personally, I think the "women are poor drivers" has a basis in historical fact, and there's a logical reason. When my parents were kids, in our part of London a family with a car were wealthy and simply having one was enough to draw kids from streets around just to look at it. Seriously.
And when I was young, cars were far less numerous than they are now. My mother could drive and had her licence, but whenever we went out together, Dad drove. Mum would drive a few times a month, at most, when she went put on her own. Maybe.
That scenario wasn't unusual, either. There was a sort of social acceptance that driving was the man's job. Again, it's a generalisation and there were exceptions, but by and large, women with extensive driving experience were unusual. And "carelessness" was simply a sign of that lack of experience. That, in my opinion, is where the "women can't drive properly" thing care from.
Of course, these days that gender assumption that the men would do the driving is far less prevalent. But it STILL certainly hasn't been eliminated. My wife always wants me to drive. She says the car's too powerful and it intimidates her. I suspect that it may be the "helpful" comments I offer ..... but I'm only giving her the benefit of my experience.
Being ill.
Needing to go to the toilet at 4am when it's really really cold.
oh yes, not having double glazing making my room just 4C above the temp outside. Although it does wonders for overclocking!
I don't think any Women in my Family drove, my Mum doesn't and my Gran didn't.... my Brothers are married to Women that can't
I'm not one of these Woman who just pootle about, that's not what I learnt to drive for yet my Bro won't drive around busy towns and doesn't like driving further than he has too, it doesn't bother me, I tell him that when your in big towns and stuck in traffic there's not a great deal that can go wrong... my driving doesn't bother Jon either, I know it's hard for him because he hates anyone elses driving but his own but he's very good and is always positive, he lets me drive his Car too which is a 1.8 Laguna so it's a bit bigger than my ickle Clio but it's nice to drive
Yeah, but you are forgetting one thing - cooking!Personally, I think the "women are poor drivers" has a basis in historical fact, and there's a logical reason.

How come, like men traditionally driving, and so ending up as better or more experienced drivers, that women, despite usually, even when I was a kid (at the grand old age of 27) doing the cooking, all the best cooks and chefs are men.
Men drive more = men are better drivers.
Women cook more = men are better cooks.
Fact is women aren't allowed to stay at home and do the things women are good at these days, such as raising children, ironing and looking pretty, because bitter, man-hating, jumper wearing Lesbian types have somehow convinced everyone that a woman who stays at home and raises kids, as women have done since the olden days were the future (cave man days or something), is under the heel of the evil man empire, and must break free by doing a few shifts at the local chippy, to show everyone that they are modern, go-getter types and not at all the weaker sex, and now as I've just realised that this is all one sentence, I'm going to stop.
Everyone has their place and role in life - thats all I'm saying

Hehe... this is all very amusing!

Boy, do you have issues.
