RIGHT!!!!!!!! Women Drivers.......

5 May 2004

My lovely boyfriend and i are having that age old argument.....
Do men or women make better drivers????
Actually, HIS argument is that i'm a bad driver cos i crashed the day after my test, then punctured my tyre twice (the latest time being last week) by hitting the curb. Oh, and i drive too fast, leave my braking too late, dont check my mirrors enough and am just a generally scary driver. rolleyes

MY argument is that I was trying to avoid the mini roundabout in the middle of the road so i hit the curb (for the lates punctured tyre), i check my mirrors when i need to, (ie changing lane etc...) and i only drive fast when the road ahead is clear!!
So, guys, back me up here.... am i a bad driver??? or is it just Daz being a typical man, lol!!!!
No hard feelings if you think it's me, promise!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lou I don't think it's because your a woman driver that you've had these mishaps. It's down to inexperience as a driver. One of our sons is around your age and he has had several similar episodes.
Both girls and guys drive too fast when they are your age and that accounts for a lot of the problems. I never go in my son's car because he makes my heart stop as soon as he puts his foot on the pedal :shock:
I vote against Daz and say that woman are not worse drivers, it's just that the guys only NOTICE when the woman have problems. lol

Besides if they are so careful, how come they get higher premiums on insurance? Because they have more crashes, and make more claims on insurance than we girls do.

If you didnt have such a GORGEOUS avatar i'd never speak to you again, lol!! You're supposed to be on MY side!!!! redface

I don't know; the mother's driving the kids to school in the mornings tend to be really scary drivers.
Mind you, I'm pretty bad. I'm forever hitting the kerb, forgetting to check my mirrors & indicate, and I have at least one near-miss a week, regular. Plus I've several times scraped my car against concrete pillars in multi-story car-parks...

Tsk Tsk.......I must have wandered into the BFZ by mistake. rolleyes

Maybe because their cars respond better if you do???...... Well mine does anyway, but then I love my KA with a passion..... I even sent her a postcard when I went on holiday and left her parked at work for a week...... wink

I quote this arguement all the time Tracy-Jayne lol

I can relate to this Tracy-Jayne, I passed my test when I was 18, I have held licences in both the UK and Australia and I too have a clean accident history... biggrin

And NO there were no accidents in the rear view mirror either!! lol

But back to the original question..... I agree with Tracy_Jayne Lou hun, experience is the one thing you cant buy (as me Mum always tells me wink

). So give it a few years, and the right foot will become lighter.... Failing that you could always gag Daz.... :shock:

Simple Steve - we give our cars names because sometimes they mean more to us than do our men folk.
They carry us around in style, are always willing to go shopping, seldom complain, don't tell us our arse looks fat and of course they give us independance wink

Incidentally my Renault 5 is called Harriet and I love her to bits :P

See, it is an age thing my darling, I am sure when I get to your age, I will drive just like you. kiss

Funny - I thought she only did that during sex! :shock:
Lou, it is a bloke who built the road, that roundabout and and that curb, and blokes think this:

How right you are Kit, mine does too, but have you ever tried dogging in a Renault 5? :shock:
Jon's car on the other hand is a large estate so his car makes me hornier than my own wink

Ok...
Seeing how no one has dared to do it, and I kind of fancy a slapped arse, I think the reason women have less accidents than men, is we are always trying to get out of your way! Also the insurance scam is to be stopped by the EEC because it is sexist to offer women less premiums!
Oh and before anyone takes offense and throws a strop it is just for fun. Anyone can be a good/bad driver and I think if you can get from A to b without some twat hitting you, or you hitting them it is a good thing! I have only had two accidents in over 20 years and nearly been killed in both by careless driving from others, so I have no axe to grind. I just think it is a thing that people like to ponder, and to be honest I would rather be a passenger but have no options!

Ah Hmm stastistically Women make more claims than men and have more accidents
however men have much much bigger accidents
i personally have never had an accident with which I have made a claim
however I have had several monster crashes whilst competing on rallies but you can only get third party
just for the record I think most women drivers are far better and safer than their male counterparts :!:

oh and just another thought
Michelle Mouton and Louise Aitken walker bloody brilliant rally drivers so why not more women motor sport competitors confused

We have sat in Michelle Mouton's Audi Quattro that she used to rally, we knew the guy that owned it (unfortunately he passed away last year)..... Mmmmmmmm the sounds of 720BHP racing up a hillclimb....

I think women drivers are fantastic :smug: :smug:
What really drives me mad is middle aged ladies with a low centre of gravity barging me out of the way in the shops. Mind you when they get in their cars I bet the centre of gravity drops by 2 foot anyway so the kerbstones better look out :!: :!:

7 May 2004

Lou - I have been known to drive faster than 65mph, it's not the speed but the late braking that bothers me. I am fine if I am driving, but I'm a wreck if I am a passenger. Guess I must just prefer to be in control wink
