A woman driving a car

Dissipator

There is a saying in my country that a woman driving a car is like an ape with a grenade, because you never know in what direction it will throw it. :))) What is your regard to a woman as a driver??
And here's a little story for the beginning…
A car's going. There are a man and a woman in it. The woman's behind the steering wheel driving at a rather high speed. Suddenly a STOP road sign appears, but the woman's going on without even lowing the speed.
The man, after his heart beating normalized: "Goddamn! Why didn't you STOPPED?!! Ya wanna kill us all or what!"
The woman: "Whadya mean?? Why should I've stopped??"
"Oh! There was the damn road sign back there! The thoroughfare was forbidden without stopping!"
"Ah! Stop kidding me, please. Ya wanna say all that stuff was written on it?? I couldn't have missed the such large sign…"
:))))

Actually ALL women are kind of back-seat drivers:) But if seriously, some women are pretty good at driving, and there can be good female managers & politicians. So that doesn't matter:)

I think most of the women drive poorly, including me  :)  but I also think that they drive more carefully than men, and therefore have less accidents. i watched a documentary show once and it said that women have worse perception and orientation in space than men and that it's sort of inborn and that women cannot do anything about it. But on the other hand there are some very good women drivers, my mom for example. So, every rule has an exception!

"...but for me, i drive much better than any man."

Ha-ha… You just made me recall this: "women mix up kleenex with clearens, but all the same they think they're much better at driving then men" :))) This's a joke. But you know, every joke has a piece of truth. :)))

Devindernaqpal,
Sorry, friend… I couldn't understand what ya ment and how it all regarded to a driving woman. :) The thing is I've never been too good at philosofy.. :) That is one of my few shotcomings :))) Don't try to find a hidden sense there where it  even doesn't exist. ;)
