It's driving. :laugh:

Quick: What's the biggest threat to your health? If you're like most women, you probably think the answer is breast cancer or maybe even heart disease. Guess again. The real culprit is getting behind the wheel. Automobile accidents are the leading cause of death in women under the age of 35, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and are also a major cause of traumatic brain injury and fatality in women of all ages. But before you throw in your keys for good, a wealth of new research shows that auto accidents are highly preventable. "The difference between getting in a crash and not getting in a crash often comes down to the split-second decisions a person makes," says Dave Teater, director of Transportation Initiatives for the National Safety Council (NSC). Knowing the right decision before you put your car into drive can help you arrive alive.

New research shows that more than two-thirds of women who died in car crashes from 1997-2006 were passengers in cars driven by men.

Oh snap!

so i guess that men are stronger than women

Oh snap!

Umm.... duh?

not when women are using the internationally accepted speed measuring device

Noel Brett, chief executive of the RSA, said that eight out of every 10 women felt unsafe as passengers in a car, with speeding cited as the main cause of concern.

Then open you yapper and tell the guy to slow down. God knows you are normally good enough at it...

Uhh, very next paragraph:
"The big issue was speed, and when they did comment on speed the experience they inevitably found was the male driver would speed up."

The majority of deaths under 35 are stupid related, period.

You would think that it's because there are so many aggressive male drivers out there driving us to our death :p

So shut off the cell phone, put away the make up, stop eating/drinking, or just get the fuck off the road. Simple.
