    I know im about to get lynched but meh!

    Why is the art of actually driving about 4th on the list of important things to do when driving a car for women???

    Random mini rant I know, but its not a one off and as I get older I get grumpier!

    depends what the 1st 3 are…

    1) making sure hubby is well fed
    2) making sure hubbys beer is cold
    3) making sure no one talks during the news
    4) driving

    nothing wrong with that 😉

    That wouldnt be so bad but with my Girlfriend its:

    1. Doing Makeup
    2. Sending a text message
    3. Playing with the radio
    4. Driving

    It drives me insane, one day she will have a crash. Im sick of going on about it to her.

    look at the bright side, at least you can say ‘I told you so’ whilst ducking for cover

    I am a terrible driver, always have been and I hate to drive.
    I tend to be over cautious.

    My daughter texts while driving (she’s a lead foot too) and it terrifies me.
    Love….Jill

    well, I don’t text when I’m driving, nor do I put make up on. I press the radio or CD on and that’s it, but don’t mess about with it when I’m driving.

    Only thing I’d say is that men are as guilty as women (except for the make up part – obviously!) they text, call, play their music just the same as women.

    So she may well be a less careful driver than you Paul, but it’s not a ‘woman’ thing. Works both ways. 😉

    My dotty Aunt, Queen of kitsch and the misnomer, once described my driving as ‘very erotic’ 😮 😮 😀 She then wanted me to ‘pull into the next layabout! 😮 😀

    women can drive as good as men, you only need to see how many there are in f1 to prove this.

    Peter, the only reason you don’t see women in formula 1 is because there is nowhere to put all the shoes in one of those cars :lol1:

    I’ve looked at that 10 or 15 times now and I still can’t decide if that is a 1966 or a 1967 Cobra.
