Women Drivers ..plus car rant...
Ok, not meaning to offend every woman on this board, but if you witnessed what i saw today you'd def share the same opinion.
Ok, my sister phones me up and says "David i need you to collect mammy from work" David's responce: "sure, pick me up here and leave my friends home". Grand! Sorted!
On leaving one of my friends home, she decides to do what i thought was going to be a 3 point turn. But, instead, she turns in the direction of the opposite kerb (..this's usually the stage where you stop and reverse back..), instead she flies up onto the kerb which is about 7 inches off the fround, smacks the bumper, i go crazy, then smack back onto the road. after i inspected i could not see any obvious damage.
anyways, as i go to collect mammy, i notice that when i go into second gear, the car seems to struggle to rev / find any acceleration at all.
A few minutes later after i've collected mammy, i'm approaching a roundabout at about 30 - 40 mph, i start to slow down to make my approach when all of a sunnen o look at the rev counter which is sitting at 0. then i realise the car is no longer running. i panic for a sec, then on with the hazard lights and turn the ignition and away we go again.
throughout the night the car acts like a bit of a bollox, but then i leave it parked for about 1.5 hours. when i return, i start the car, and after 2 secs the feckin thing stalls. i attempt a few more times but to no avail, i try accelerate, but either nothing happens, or it goes to about 3000rpm, then back to 1000. then i get it started and let it run for about 3 mins and away we go.
anyways, i've advised both parents to take the big sis off the insurance as she's a hazard to herself, her passengers, pedestriand, and other ppl on the road. Plus she's rough as fuck on the car.. whether this be a result of her reckless act today i dont know, but either way..
car = peugeot 307. Car's been amazing until tonight. do nothing but sing it's praise!! until tonight 
later folks! thanks to all those who took the time to read this fun filled exciting thread!!

i want an el comino.
Women drivers, no survivors.
I love this thread. Here's my own little joke I love to share:
Q: Why does the average woman drive better than Helen Keller?
A: She doesn't.
(For those who do not know, Helen Keller was a blind and deaf woman).
It's actually the case that female drivers are less aware while driving than males. Their spatial reasoning ability sucks (as indicated by countless studies), they're inconsiderate due to obliviousness (as opposed to with intent, as many males), and they generally lack the situational awareness required to deftly maneuver a vehicle. This is an endless cause of pain for others 
I'll be the first to admit that males are (potentially more) hazardous drivers, but that (for the most part) is of their own choosing...
I myself am none of the above 
I so not all women are bad drivers, i know 2 of them personaly that could beat me on a track with much problem, but they could 
While having a drink with my father one day i even witnesed a women loosing her minfd after her husband has failed for the third time to park a BMW 745i in a parking palce that would be big enough for a truck, pulling him out of the car and park the car in the first try like a pro
However i loose any respect for a womn driver when i see her fixing her makeup or something like thet at the stop light! Thats about the only function for the rear wiev mirror they know about actualy, ecouse while driving noneof them seem to look in it
I could go on for day but im in a good mood so i wont
If all girls are bad drivers, the people in Belgium will be glad to hear that i didn't start driving yet
Guys not all girls are bad drivers, my mom drives around all day for work and she didn't have an accident yet. 
and let's hope it never happens!

sounds like you fucked up the spark plugs. Have u noticed, since the engine's been running funny, that the car has been literally drinking fuel?
Hehe a lack of accidents no more makes one a good driver than a lack of prison time makes one a good person 
And by "good driver" I don't mean the ability to press the pedal to the floor and steer around corners. I mean everything that goes with courteous precision driving: the constant acknowledgement of the position and movement (or at least existence!) of surrounding vehicles, the ability to track multiple objects simultaneously, the skill to assess rapidly unfolding situations effectively and extrapolate viable and safe trajectories for all parties...
Put a cell phone in my hand (or on a headset...) and I'm reduced to the calamitous oblivion that plagues most female drivers I know. Sadly, the remaining few who DO pay attention lack the spatial reasoning ability to make use of it
That's not to say that my guy friends are good drivers... some are really good, but most are bad in a different way

? Hehe it happens ALL the time here in the states. I've seen women with one hand on the celly, one hand on the makeup, eyes on the mirror, and driving with the knees (No joke!).

wait, what is "collect mammy?" collecting your mom? interesting way to say it...
but anyway, women are not bad drivers. PEOPLE are. 
it doesnt matter what race/sex, every group has its share. dont be so judgmental.
My mum's a good driver
But when I'm going somewhere in the car and I notice someone driving badly in some way or another, and I look into the car, it does tend to be a woman usually.

women break for nothing...
nice open highway, everyone driving at a good speed, then this car brakes for no apparent reason ( no one in front of her ). *drives me absolutely mad*
I always say, that's a woman, my gf goes "HEEEY", I speed up, catch the car and validate my claim
never ever been wrong once about this!!
white transit van drivers can bite my shiny metal ass !

To me, intenionally agressive driving (men) is less "bad" because it's easily remedied by the simple choice to stop. No such luck for obliviousness... I imagine they believe they're better drivers 'cuz they consistently drive under the speed limit. But they seem to fail to realize that merging on the 65 mph freeway at 40 and running red lights ALL the time are dangerous. I mean the on-ramps are usually like 1/4 mile long with good visibility, and they'll sit there NOT accelerating until *after* they're on the freeway! Light goes red means there's time for one or two more cars. Gah!!
Im not saying everyone but alot of women drivers are terrible. All the ones ive see are always impatient and tailgaiting ur ass.
The worst ones are the ones with a fone + cigarette trying to drive at the same time. I road a damn barrier one time becuz of one
A woman cop nearly ran over my dad the other week. A WOMAN COP!!! The woman things typical, but cop??
In fairness tho I know loadsa guys who cant drive for sh*t.
