Women Drivers

Why can't Helen Keller drive a car?

...Because she's a woman.

My girlfriend is a pretty bad driver. She almost wrecked out twice because she can't make proper decisions at stop signs.

Also there are NO good WOMEN rally drivers (WRC), none.... infact there are rarely any good drivers at all unless they are from Finland where males are born with the ability to tap dance on 3 pedals, and perform a scandanavian flick before they are even able to converse.

Jutta Kleinschmidt (German) won Dakar in 2001 which is not WRC but better: the most demanding automotive race there is.

I think women in general are definitely less aware of courtesy or show appreciation on the road. I give up counting the amount of times where I've let a woman out of a junction or through in a blocked single carriageway and they've not waved or shown thanks. It's like a mindset of "It's my right for you to let me go first, i don't have to do anything". At least half to 3/4 the men will flash their headlights or wave thanks, women are perhaps 1/8th if any! Maybe it's just the UK as I cannot say for the rest of the female drivers on this planet!

:shocked:....:laugh:

I can understand using an ice scraper in a pinch, but a snow shovel? Tell me she'd just woken up or something

I don't get what the big deal is? Am I suppose to use that shitty brush to clear off two feet of snow? If you're careful you won't scratch it.

Ok so use the shovel for the first foot and 3/4 and wipe the rest off with your arm or a regular scraper, or just get a real brush if it really snows that much. When you all say snow shovel, I'm thinking of a manure shovel, which isn't exactly the most nible or precise tool, hardly something I want gouging at my paint.

Yeah, thats what I mean. You use the shovel to get the bulk of it off. Obviously I'm not going to scrape the car clean with the shovel. It is a pretty clumsy tool in that application.

In womens' defense, mens' insurance isn't higher because we're uglier - the same testosterone responsible for spatial awareness is also responsible for the aggression which tempts us to drive faster and take risks. We get in fewer but more serious accidents, causing more overall monetary damage than women. I still can't help but shake my head in disgust at someone being unable to avoid stationary objects though.

Yep, all true. But damn that one woman who backed right into me while I was freakin stopped in a parking lot a few years ago... :|

Same thing happened to me, only she was stealing my parking space while she was doing it!
