THIS SETTLES THE DISCUSSION.... IMHO https://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2018/may/28/danica-patricks-career-ends-with-heavy-crash-at-the-indy-500-video REALLY GLAD SHE'S OK THOUGH; IT WAS HER LAST RACE! BUT THEN I'M A BIASED 'GO DADDY' IN MY OWN RIGHT! I KNEW LOT OF LADY LONG-HAUL TRUCKERS, INCLUDING A MOTHER-DAUGHTER TEAM, AND THEY'RE JUST AS GOOD AS THE GUYS WHEN IT COMES TO OVER-THE-ROAD TRUCKIN'.

A few years back I was doing the speed limit ( 110ks ) down the Moonee Moonee bridge ( very steep gradient ) here in NSW, when I was overtaken by a woman driving a station wagon doing at least 120ks.

She had no hands on the steering wheel, and was eating yoghurt from a tub with a spoon. This is one dangerous road and this stupid bitch could've rolled causing a major pile up, multiple deaths!!!!

You mustn't complain. Remember... she is a better driver than you

This is the Moonee Moonee bridge on a quiet traffic day. Since it opened about 25? years ago there's been a lot of crashes on it. Many deaths and permanent crippling injuries.

Irresponsible drivers are criminally negligent.

Driving to town today along a suburban road with a 30mph limit, a car pulled out ahead with no intention of giving way and waiting. Then, as I continued at 30mph, she disappeared rapidly ahead, not planning to obey the speed limit in this heavily-populated street either.

A lesson to us all in how to get ahead, which seems to be the most important goal in her driving

Well, I've alluded to it once and I shall again....this thread is beginning to look like a clear case of misogyny.

I'm still trying to work out what I did wrong....
Yesterday someone tried to kill me on Fathers Day... same place, same high speed and bad road-positioning (ie the middle) only a different driver and no phone this time. I braked and went onto the verge, she didn't even look at me

Got another long drive for the holiday break this year, so I'm hoping to do it while Wimbledon's on... when is that?

Oh Come now Jim. I've not seen a real examples of a deep seated loathing or resentment towards women here, some anecdotes and crass mildly sexist jokes? yes.
It might be 'Misogyny' by the Vox/Jezable standard I suppose.
Its not like women don't get together make sexist jokes about all the dumb stuff they see men do. Nobody in there right mind is calling them misandrists for it.

The problem is expanded word definitions and different standards,
Having a low opinion of women in general would certainly make you a misogynist.... but merely criticizing a women can also be deemed as misogynistic by some peoples standards today.
So Misogyny can be anything but 'clear'

I guess here it boils down to whats subsims rules are.

Thank you, buddy. As you for one have seen, I've no dislike for women; this isn't about women... just their driving

Well - jokes aside, i will point out that they get cheaper insurance premiums for a reason. Might not be 'better drivers', but they are overall statistically safer.
