Women Drivers

In the UK, more than 45% of motorists are women.

On that basis, when you're waiting at a side-road junction for some kind soul on the main road to let you out, that kind soul should be a woman on more that 4 occasions out of 10, right?

But *is* it a woman 4 times out of 10?

Is it Hell as like!

You're lucky if it's a woman ONE time out of 10.

Why should that be?

Is it because women drivers are complete and utter bastards who don't give a damn about other motorists?

I think not.

I believe it's because women drivers concentrate more on their driving than men do. A woman driver is almost entirely focussed upon getting that car safely from A to B and she has little time for anything outside her vehicle that isn't an essential part of that process.

Men drivers, in start contrast. take an altogether more relaxed view of the driving process and will happily multi-task both mentally and physically while driving a car.

So, next time you're waiting to be let into a line of traffic and you've just being ignored by a woman driver who could have let you in without the slightest inconvenience to herself, don't get mad.

She's not being unkind: it's just that you're not on her radar.

And if you've got a nutcase driving up your arse trying to force you off the road, or if you're the victim of a road rage incident, then the chances it's a woman is also less that one in ten. Probably zero, in fact.

Women, huh!

Well, logically speaking if, as has been proven, rude, aggressive and generally twatish driving behaviour is in inverse proportion to dick size - then women, bereft altogether in that department, should be the worst.

That's just science.

Are they letting women drive now?

My point exactly.

Having a punch-up or any sort of duel with another driver does not help get a car safely from A to B and is therefore an option far less likely to be chosen by a woman than by a man.

I know nothing........

Women drivers in 4 by 4s. The very worst on the road vis a vis attitude problems.

The second worst on the road - men in 4 by 4s. There are some in my own family.

OK, you talked me into it - yes, but I would extend that by saying vis-ual. The number of tiny women I see driving a Chelsea Tank and can only just see over the steering wheel. Cannot be safe.

Well exactly.

It's small penis syndrome.

Yes to both. If I could buy a machine gun in Morrison's I'd get out there to the car park and gun down all their 4 x 4 tyres. And again next day. And again and again.

Yes.

Ten years ago I would have found some of your sentiments a bit disconcerting.

Now they are great as they make me feel normal for bellowing and shaking my fist at drivers from the pavement as much as I do.

Are you guys talking about SUVs or actual 4x4 pickup trucks? I don't recall seeing many pickups during my visits to the UK.

I think they mean those big Landrover type things.
Made for country life but used in towns by people who've never seen a field let alone driven through one.

I figured as much, because I had a hard time imagining that British drivers were scurrying around the muddy countryside.

Over here, when someone mentions a 4x4 they're talking about a large pickup truck. (They're almost mandatory in Texas.) Nationwide, SUVs are the defacto standard for mothers. But I doubt any of them are ever taken off-road.

Yes Hence Chelsea Tractor or Tank. And you still see them in ditches because the drivers think they are above skidding or need a skill to drive them.
