Electerrific Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 On the roads each day, I encounter 'bad'/dithery or inept drivers amidst the majority of 'good' ones (of both sexes). I actually don't beep/flash/shout/glare or engage in any roadrage etc, but my blood still boils. But I've noticed that virtually every time I encounter a particularly slow, dithery or unpredictable driver there is invariably a female (or elderly) driver, staring blindly dead-ahead and grabbing the wheel in an awkwardly upright, terrified position as if they are about to fly off through the ejector seat? Bardy-eck, chill out and use mirrors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I agree with you on the OAPs, with their white-knuckled wheel gripping , but I've noticed that the fastest drivers on the road are young women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst are old women. Young men are the fastest, so fast in fact that you fail to see them leaving you with the false impression that young women are the fastest.

Plopqwerty Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 My insurance is £155 fully comp for a 110 land rover diesel. Why? Cos Im not a boy racer. With fresh air for driving skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 i would say oap's as they have very little to rush for so usually get in the way of others. women drivers are not that much different to men drivers and in fact some of the most aggressive driving I see of late is by women.

MrMoran Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I agree with you on the OAPs, with their white-knuckled wheel gripping , but I've noticed that the fastest drivers on the road are young women. And they are the most aggressive and the most dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody in a diesel landy is a boy racer. Its the freelanders that carry about the worst drivers at this moment in my opinion, mostly during the school run..
