Close thing.:shucks:

Here's food for thought, what about Gay drivers? :hmmm::o

Here in the Socialist Republic of California, we have no gender. I don't get it?:hmmm:

So you don't have a set? :hmmm:

Apparently not since my wife declared territorial rights.

Just in order to avoid complaints, the premise of this thread is actually not that women are bad drivers... rather that there are bad drivers of both sexes but we are often told now that statistics prove women to be better drivers per se, which I argue they do not

In the summer, a gay friend and his husband came over to visit from the US. He had to contend with stick-shift gears as well as driving on the wrong side of the road (in a hire car)... I've never seen a more careful driver :haha:

:har: I wonder how he handled the stick shift? :hmmm:

I guess it had its compensations...

Not the point he was breaking the law using a smart phone and clearly it was not hands free. I have seen far more men on their smart/mobile phones than women. The women I have seen all pulled over to the side to date.

Yeah but she shouldn't have called him, see? We are supposed to be able to read our wives' minds, so isn't it only fair to assume they can read ours? She must therefore have known he was driving :salute:

Who said anyone called him? :hmmm:

What I saw was a bloke tapping away on his phone so engrossed and not keeping his eyes on the road/traffic lights. And when he noticed the lights were on green he drove off with one hand on the wheel and the other on his smart phone!

RECKLESS DRIVING!! :yep:

Oh just to add I witness a bloke driving in the high street with his knees while selecting music on his smart phone as his head was rocking all over the place.

RECKLESS DRIVING!! :yep:

I think you're missing the point. Had they been women drivers it could have been a different outcome

The first fella was probably just telling his wife he cant text and went about his way. The second was most likely a trained stunt driver working on some record company advertisment.

If I'm turning off a road into another one at a T junction, I always give a wide berth in case of another vehicle coming along that second road

Yesterday I was the one on the second road and as I approached a T junction a huge 4X4 came sailing around the corner and cut right across my path... she must have had ALL FOUR wheels on my side of the road at one point

My wife remarked out of the blue today that she believes that as she gets older she is becoming a worse driver. I feel the opposite is true for me.


I told her I was going to post her comment in this thread. :DL


(NB: She drives a high powered sports car and, lately, I have been slightly terrified by her driving.)
