... lady driven?


Most people will agree that women are some of the worst drivers out there and cause a lot more accidents than guys do so why is Lady Driven such a good thing??

Because most women wouldnt step on it no matter how much HP the car has.

Me on the other hand, will use every damn horse under the hood any chance I get.

That's WRONG. Women are much better drivers than men where it counts: less reckless driving and less accidents. Ask an actuary and the insurance industry.

I don't care what actuaries say. Do they factor in that men drive more than women? The worst drivers are women IMO.

Insurance is higher for men for a reason.

That reason is, while involved in accidents less frequently, those accidents are more severe.

I guess it depends on which type of woman. A few years back I bought a car previously leased by an old grandma. She was retired, but put a lot of highway miles on it visiting her grandkids. She never sped, drove very cautiously. Brakes and Transmission were in pristine condition. Did all her schedule oil changes and tire rotations. Engine was spotless

Sure men may get in more accidents, but without accidents, a woman is still more likely to ruin a car by her driving. My sister in law has already warped the brakes on her 2005 Grand Cherokee. She floors the gas on the eway, then slams on the brakes at 75+ mph, then floors, it, brakes, you get the idea.

When I see lady driven, I always think..

A. regular maintenance has been neglected, probably been running on 1qt of oil for 15k

B. control arms are probably ****** from hitting the curb so many times

;):p

You're wrong. Women have as many accidents as men, but women do less damage. Women = Hitting another car going 10 miles a fvking hour in the parking lot, Men = Taking a turn going 95 mph and losing control and doing a barrel roll while racing a nascar driver.

I guess you missed my part of the reckless driving?

As far as the less accidents... less accidents claimed then.

I'd rather get a car owned by a woman who drives around the speed limit than from a 19 year old kid thinking he's Michael Schumacher doing 100 on the freeway.

Not that I'm one to generalize.

Gawd, no contest. If I were buying a car that was driven by my wife its whole life, or an identical car driven by myself, I'd grab hers in a heartbeat. My car is in gear and headed out the driveway before the key even snaps back to the run position. It takes her a few minutes just to get her purse situated and seatbelt fastened, all the while the engine and tranny are warming up. She waits till traffic is clear for a quarter mile in both directions before lazily pulling out on the avenue. I whip it into the flow of traffic at first opportunity. I've got the pedal to the floor from beginning to end, and she's probably never seen WOT. Which car would you buy?

There was a study a few years ago that found that female drives are just as bad if not worse than male drivers(ages 16-24).

When that study came out MY insurance went up.

Only reason way men pay more is because the industry is sexist.
It's a fact that men make more money than women so we can "afford" to pay more:|
