Yes, unfortunately I have recently experienced this firsthand. Last saturday a couple brothers and I were heading down to another brothers house for retreat when we were T-Boned. She kinda stopped then went like she was trying to hit us, it was kinda odd. We ended up sliding off the road into the ditch, then we flew into the air out of the ditch, and landed back in.. Luckily nobody was hurt, but Kris was upset about his car being injured...

Yeah, terrible, isn't it, how 50% of accidents are caused by women. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

I think you'll find it's more than that - a great many RTAs are caused by women wearing tight-fitting clothing whilst they perambulate adjacently to the said vehicular traffic. Other women cause accidents by sapping men's vital fluids - and, subsequently, depriving them of the requisite alertness and energy needed to command an automobile. So, in summary, women should not be banned from driving, per se, but discouraged from wearing flattering attire in a built-up area. On this, as on many other points, I am firm.
I think the notion of a compulsory hijab may not be as impractical as it sounds. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Compulsory hijab. Hmm. Now, the decision is between, "make my life that much simpler and more productive" and "keep english class bearable". I'm gonna vote no on this one, Spungo.

Or perhaps they should be banned from driving and encouraged for wearing flattering attire?
On my first comment though, it was her fault and not my buddies, (as would be obvious by her bumper stuck in the side of his car when he has clear right of way on a highway...).

Most of the bad drivers I see are women too. I'm not the greatest driver, but I'm extremely careful cuz I can't afford an accident. Women on cell phones are bad too. A girlfriend of mine is a pretty bad driver. We laugh at her all the time cuz she drives like she doesn't know what she's doing and needs to ask questions a lot. I really have to keep my eyes open with her!
Asians for some reason too are bad drivers. Don't mean this to be racist or anything, it's just from what I see. Asian women are the worst for sure. Most dumbass moves are made by them from what I see. I have a Chinese guy friend who almost hit a guy in a parking lot who was right in front of him. The guy had to run out of the way.
If I have a daughter, I'm teaching her to be confident and strong! I think women drivers are like that because we are told to be weak and unsure of ourselves in the media and at home. Men are typically better drivers, and that lowers confidence.

*snork*
Glad I put my soda down before reading that one.
I think some men shouldn't be allowed to drive either. The variety that almost hit me the other day comes to mind. Along with the one who kept revving his engine next to me. I was on my bike. I was on the bike path. I was waiting to cross the street. I wasn't blocking anything. I wasn't wearing anything tight either. Neanderthals.

Since I am only half Korean I am a bad driver only on the days that end in 'Y.'
It isn't so much a race or gender thing it is a courtesy issue. Think of how many accidents or crazy things that people do when they do not show any regard for others.
Fsck those jerks I am in a hurry....
I honestly think I am a very good driver, though I am very agressive in how I drive. "Drive it like you stole it, and they are following you with a gun." ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I know it isn't a race thing, it's just a funny stereotype that everyone encounters. Ricers are pretty bad drivers too.

I have to say that every time I see someone make bonehead move whilst driving, I check said drivers sex. The overwhelming majority are women. Of course, it could just be a New Jersey thing....

I say it's time we recognised women as threats to national security and put them all in prison (aka "breeding centres").
That will stop all crime in the world IMMEDIATELY.

Haha, funny you said that! I helped my bf with an essay in his first year of university about how women should take over the world because men are violent, and without them the world would be a safer and more peaceful place. Men would be farmed for sperm, and in order for women to make other women feel like they are superior, they would do what the Nazis did to children and train them to hate...lol It was actually really fun to think about!

If women are so non-violent and peaceful. why are they always hitting me and shouting at me
Maybe i'll make a thread about that, because having to deal in a learning environment with girls is really weird (i went to an all-boys school). I am not exactly used to having classmates madly in love with me.
Why can't women be simple and fill out a form setting out their intentions for me.

Huh? I thought you lived in a certain inner city suburb where the first letter and last letter are the same, and has a reputation for attracting teh gays

Good idea. Make sure you GPL it, so we can all use it
Of course, if you were to point them towards these forums, that would be a solution, too. Presuming that they take the "show up naked, with beer" advice ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Nope , dont live in that inner city suburb.
My grandparents and mum lived there until 1980, and we still have relatives there, so im always over there visiting.
We actually live near Sydney Tech since that's where i went to high school, and im a lazy bum so there we go.
But the GPL form thing is a good idea, working on it now.

Women aren't necessarily less violent, we just take our violence out in different ways.
See, if Kim Jong-Il and Dubbya were women, they wouldn't resolve conflicts by waving their nuclear weapons around at each other. They would just spread nasty rumors about each other and talk trash about each other in cabinet meetings. Then one would send a nasty text message to the other. That would be the last straw. Then they would meet up somewhere in the middle of the pacific ocean and have a screaming/hitting/hair-pulling match, and then they would realize that there might be a better way to solve matters of national security than to resort to violence. So they would blame their problems on PMS, apologize, and then go out and get a manicure in Hawai'i.

Hmmm... would the world be a better place if Margaret Thatcher ruled it? Whenever someone makes the argument that women aren't violent and less prone to starting wars (and no one's claiming that here, I don't think), PM Thatcher pops up as the perennial pate-scratching counter-example.
Now, if Eleanor Roosevelt ruled the world...
Oh, and my wife is a FAR better driver than me.

Um, technically Maggie didn't start either of the wars that the UK was involved in during her term as PM.
Did I just leap to the defence of Margaret Thatcher?

There is no such person as Margeret Thatcher: only masculine tendencies, feminine insecurities and a screwed up family.

Honestly I do notice that (even though it is called stereotyping) that certain races, sexes, and even people that are interested in certain things, have almost textbook driving styles.
My biggest annoyance are the people that have NASCAR stickers on the back of their cars. The WORST drivers I have ever encountered. What, do they live vicariously though Jeff Gordon or something? Either they can't drive their Honda through a parking lot without grazing bumpers. Or they think their Chevy 3500 dually is a drifter.

Actually, I think women are generally better drivers than men.
After all, they get so much more practice, they get to drive when in the drivers seat, and when in the passenger seat.

True I have done it too. I am referring more to the ones that do it down the residential street when your rugrats are out riding their bikes.
I have one of those white kids down the street with a crappy Kia that he has tried to turn into a tuner. I can hear his stereo from a block away. I have actually seen him come around the corner so fast that he ended up on the opposing sidewalk.
And what is it with white kids listening to gangster rap? I guess they like listening to black guys talk about how they kill each other..
