I am so terribly sorry, but it sounds like you two have gotten on with life without it getting you down - so much so, that it doesn't spring instantly to mind. That's an admirable way of living.

Thanks to all. Yes, it almost made me smile to read the thread that far and then suddenly think "Here, hang on a minute! ..." . Really though, it doesn't give me grounds to think that women drivers are bad. They aren't of course and what happened was just an accident. I wonder if the driver thinks back to it sometimes. She was a local person *and might have seen us out and about.

All us ladies know full well that it's the men who race, tail gate, jump lights, and are far more aggressive than us genteel, courteous ladies are.

How many women do you see leaping out of their cars to threaten another driver in a fit of road rage ey? Come on, how many?

Face up to it gentlemen, you lose.
Now then, dig up your wallets, buy us a round of drinks and we'll say no more about it.

That kinda says something about the validity, or otherwise, of the stats.

Re: Women are best

I'm not on top of the statistics, but as for the anecdotes, the driver who flipped his car directly in front of me and that I managed to avoid last week was a male - in too much of a hurry. (And now I have the headache of being a witness). Grrrrr .

I suppose you Americans have an additional motoring problem.

You drive on the wrong side of the road.

I'm surprised that you don't have many more accidents.

Re: Women are best

Just searching through the thread titles I saw;

Women are best.

Directly underneath it, it said

Maps.
