I know I may sound like a Male Chauvinist Pig but honestly I am not. I have just had my Car written off by a Woman who forgot that when pulling from the kerb she needs to look over her shoulder. After the RTC driving home I then had a Female White Van Driver mount the kerb my side and drive head on to me forcing me to break harshly and take avoiding action. Honestly and they say Women are safer drivers. Fact: My Wife passed her test a few years ago and I took her for a spin asking here to point out driver errors so she could see what to watch for. On a ratio of 9:2 more errors were caused by Women than men. She said that they were all Transvestites... Women drivers....

I was almost run over by an old lady who was going far too fast at one point, if that counts. Personally, I find that both men and women are equally prone to mistakes. I'm only 16 though, I'll probably find out as the years go by and as misfortune occurs.

Yes, I am a driver but we haven't had a car for some years now. I get bike rage instead, and it does seem to be female drivers that do the most stupid tricks and a lot of elderly too mentally slow to be behind a wheel for their own safety. Male drivers are faster, and take calculated risks more. Women seem to hang around junctions for ever waiting for every vehicle to go by, they even do emergency stops in front of you to answer the mobile phone, they don't seem to care where it is either! Jay walkers are another hazard, the times I have had to swerve and nearly come off my bike because of them

Watched a Woman today drive across a railway crossing and stop in the yellow hatchmarks...the train lights sounded and the barrier could not lower...so the train was halted. She became highly indignant and insulting when a Police Car pulled up and the Officers gave her a reprimand with a ticket thrown in for good measure.
Women drivers motto: We stop for no one and we stop everyone...

I'm taking lessons 10 years after getting my provisional licence.. can you believe it ran out 3 months before I needed it?.. talk about irritating..! Ok it took me 10 years to get round to it so I take 2% of the blame.. My Driving instructor has been teaching for 30 years and has had 27 accidents in the last 15 years alone.. none caused by him or his pupils but because he lives in a busy city and spends 11 hours a day in his car.. with a lot of stupid people on the road. here are some he told me while we were driving around. Man pointing out trains to his kids and not realising the traffic stopped and went into a womans car, she didn't have her hand break on and her car went into his. Teenage boy pulling out and ramming into his parked car .. Woman putting on her lipstick and pouting in the rear view mirror and hit his car not realising the traffic stopped at a red light. Guy steering with his knees while using an Iphone and clipped his wing mirror. Old guy forgetting his glasses and not seeing traffic in front has stopped. He says most of them happen at red lights or T junctions. I don't think it matters if you are male or female only if you are easily distracted and occasionaly stupid

Had Insurance on the phone today with a paltry offer of £1,800.00 settlement. This means I am losing over £2,000.00.... I believe that if someone hits your car it should be repaired whatever the cost is...lets face it I wasn't responsible. Going to fight this and see if I can squeeze some more out of them.... If I wasn't disabled I would hang up my keys and take to a bicycle.... I used to enjoy driving but now......
