You know what's really scary? People who text while driving.

I see that and I want to get as far away from them as possible.

Properly used signals and keeping your distance from the vehicle in front of you does wonders, all while checking your mirrors to see what cars behind you are doing.

I've saved myself many times from a collision by staying alert about those. <_<;

Okd men in hats and women in trucks/suvs/minivans are the absolute WORST drivers on the road. Now I live in an area that has a high density of people over 65. There are several churches and assisted living places near me. So I run into a lot of elderly drivers. Some of them are very competent drivers but just drive a bit slow. But when you put a hat on an elderly old man I don't know WTF happens......just watch out! It's like the hat sucks, what little of his brain is left, right out of his god damn head.

Then women in trucks....they are like a short man with a Napoleon complex. They get in the truck and its MWAH HA HA HA I WILL KEEL J00! They swear and gesture and carry on like the seats are laced with testosterone! Recently I was turning into a business on a 2 lane road. Obviously I had to slow down to make the turn but unknown to me my blinker had burned out. Well the chick behind me in a truck freaked out! She turned in and pulled up next to me and started swearing at me, telling me to use my turn signal, and then spit on me. Seriously....get yourself a Camry...

And people wonder why I don't like driving.

"In all studies and analyses, without exception, men have been shown to have a higher rate of crashes than women."

That's cause the chick in the SUV just ran them off the road.[COLOR="Silver"]

I don't know about get-in-car-accident-bad drivers, but the worst drivers to share the road with are men in minivans. It's always them riding my ass at 80 mph on the freeway, passing cars with about 18 inches between their rear bumber and the passed car's front bumper, and just generally seeming like they're in a hurry for nothing. I suppose they through etiquette out the window when they realized they were driving minivans. I think it has something to do with an overcompensation for realizing they're driving the epitome of family vehicle and therefore could not possibly be mistaken for Jeff Gordon.

I think I can vouch for this being true to some degree. Whenever I'm in the van with my father he'll try to have mini drag races with other vehicles that might possibly try to pass him. It's very unnerving and worries me sometimes. Especially since my sister tells a tale of a car actually following him after he did it once.

Dear god I hate it when people need to have pissing contests.

I'm a man in a minivan, but I'm a different kind of asshole driver. I take pleasure in going 30 mph everywhere on surface streets, then when people cut angrily around me at 50 mph, pulling up behind them at stoplight after stoplight and tapping the horn to let them know that getting their panties in a knot has gotten them absolutely nothing.

The race goes not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but badly timed lights happen to them all.

An analysis by the Social Issues Research Centre in 2004 states that "In all studies and analyses, without exception, men have been shown to have a higher rate of crashes than women."

Thats because the women has been teh cause of the accident behind her.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

It doesn't rule out the possibility that the collision was caused by a backseat driver, either. ^_^;

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Aksannyi, i have been driving for 12 years, I have also if you recall my previous enployment attended numerous road traffic accidents to cut people out, we also were part of the investigation into many I can stand by my words with experience.

I might also add that one of the biggest causes of female RTA's (road traffic accidents) were them putting makeup on whilst driving or preening themselves in their rear view mirror, the other causes were reversing into buildings and other vehicles in car parks / shopping centres.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

I think it's interesting how the studies say one thing but what I've seen on the road while driving all these years points in a completely different direction.






PS > But then again maybe people here (specially women) simply drive differently. <_<

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

My friends mom was teaching her daughter how to drive and she hopped a curb and almost went through the front of someones house.

I forgot about douche bags in minivans. They never really speed here or drive crazy. But they're always in the way. It's 45.. and this dick wants to do 30?!

I wonder which gender did these studies.
