Chicks Should Not Drive!!!
Well I all most said goodbye to my Z tonight. Some stupid, cell phone talkin chick in a busted *** 4 door Honda no doubt! I am coming down the road at 45 mph or so in the rain on a devided 4 lane road about half a mile from my house and this dumb chick decides it's a good idea to talk on her phone, in the rain, at night, in a car that looked like it had been T-boned before and takes a left turn to cross right in front of me. I had to hit my brakes pretty hard and they locked up sending me into a little slide for a bit, luckily I drive at 10 and 2 or I am sure traffic behind me would have finished the job. I could see her the whole time and she never even looked in my direction. I literally passed behind her just as she cleared the road....had I not hit the brakes I am sure it would have been a pretty bad wreck cause I had cars about 50 feet behind me. I was shaking a little bit.
Chick + Phone + Honda = Bad Idea!!

Now I wasn't trying to offend...I apologize...I was still a little upset when I posted the thread. Yes there are good women drivers out there, I will concede that...but this one, man, not even a thought or a look in my direction as she made her turn...her turn signal wasn't even on! But then again you should not take offense to my statement....you drive a Z..I am sure you can drive.

Its not just women. Granted they make up the majority of crapy drivers, but like the lady said . . .make the damn test harder. And re-test when people get old. I know that they need to get around too but there are some seniors that shoud really not be on the road. Driving 40 on the 65+ pmh freeway in the fast lane and 40 in a 25mph school zone just doesnt seem to be very safe in my opinion . . .

And because of the cell phone drivers out there. I also drive an F-250 so if any one wants to give me a reason for some road rage and a reason to put their vehicle on the side, then keep dialing those numbers.

Glad you and your ride are in one piece, thxone.
This thread made me curious, so I wasted some time searching for some data. I couldn't find any actual hard evidence of male/female good/bad driver differences in a very cursory search. The studies I found showed no significant difference in collision or offense rates (though a lot of behavioral differences, as you might expect), e.g. this one from the UK:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Citation
But, man there's a lot of info on cell phone use yielding higher collision rates. Ah, here it is: 20-year-old + cell phone = 70-year-old reaction times
Strayer and Drew, Univ Utah Psychology, published in Human Factors and Ergonomics Society quarterly journal as a quick test-study. I doubt it's peer-reviewed, though. Really more of a proof-of-concept study that you'd use to get a grant for a proper research effort. Anyway, here 'tis:
http://www.physorg.com/news2941.html
With such a low sample size, a lot of their results weren't significant. However, combining the simulator data with actual accident data did yield a statistically significant positive correlation between cell-phone use and collision.
Interestingly, the oldsters in the second study weren't as likely to rear-end somebody because they don't usually go fast enough or follow closely enough to do so; but, just like Apollo said, the 40-in-65 behavior has them much more likely to help cause a collision by being rear-ended. I guess you can't win either way. I think I'll keep biking to work on the creek path.
Glad for no dents or injuries to you!

I used to think it was women drivers. Its not. Women just pioneered driving on the cellphone. Now more and more business is done via cell phones in cars, and a good deal of those people doing so are men. I've been in more near-accidents due to "MEN" on cell phones then women on cell phones. Then you have the out of control guys thrown into the mix who think pedal to the metal is the only way to drive a car not paying any regard to the people they come within inches of driving off the road. And of course there are the senior citizens, of either sex, who have long passed their prime when it comes to sight, sound, and reaction time. And of course they refuse to drive anything smaller than my house. But fortunately they manage to stay in check via driving 15mph below the speedlimit.
But when the hotrodding teen male gets pissed because the cell phone using business man in front of him is swerving around, the teen floors it around him and speeds off only to come up on the *** of the senior citizen doing half the speed limit. Caught off guard the speeder slams on his brakes right in front of the unattentive girl talking to her friend about how fun the mall is going to be and now she smacks into the back of him. Of course it's all her fault cause it was a rear ending. ANd since she was a girl on a cell phone that actually ended up in the accident she gets the rep. Meanwhile homeboy on the cell is the person that actually started the chain events. Even though everyones stupidity played a role.
PS: My wife is an excellent driver

I honestly, truely love the picture in your sig J. 
The Cartman overlay on the hood is too freakin' funny.
If you guys want to see bad driver's in concentration, go to down town Milpitas, CA.
One of my Asian friends refuses to drive through that city because of the high concentration of 'stupid Asian drivers'. That's his quote by the way. He's half Chinese, half Korean. He says most of his family lives there and they can't drive worth a crap!
When he said that, I nearly blew TK noodles through my nose!

The problem is stupid people, chick or a guy, who drive and talk on a cell phone. That's the problem right there!
It gets even worse when the driver uses his/her hand to hold the cell phone instead of using an ear piece.
Yes, in raining conditions and holding a cell phone while driving is asking for trouble, but you will find those retard drivers in either sex.
