Vanilla said:All good debates should have some factual basis, surely?
Otherwise I could just start a thread on how I hate looking at the cows on the moon, and ignore everyone else pointing out that there are no cows on the moon, since I feel like letting off steam about it.
Come on, Gabriel, this is the best debate I've had so far this month, don't let us down now with a cop-out?

Bamhan said:As a woman driver, who drives on average 400 miles per week, I sadly have to agree when I see something utterly ridiculous occur on the road it tends to be a woman driver.
A pet peeve of mine however is men and it is usually men
who drive so close to your bumper they may as well be in the back seat......You know they are thinking I have to ovetake this woman at the first available opportunity.....til then I will intimidate her so she will get out of my way.....
Ain't gonna happen if I am the woman driver.
And before anyone says it I will admit to suffering from an extreme form of raod rage.....
fobs said:And if I had a videocamera attached to mine...but we don't.
If we are all talking about our experiences it shouldn't surprise you that people will have had different experiences on the road than you and therefore have different views.
fobs said:I don't think that women are worse drivers than men and just because one female poster may agree with you doesn't prove your argument.
fobs said:Also I find that younger male drivers in my experience drive too closely to the car in front,overtake on junctions and continuous white lines and speed.
fobs said:You can let someone know they have made a mistake by beeping or flashing them once or reporting them if it causes a near crash but to do more than this IS road rage and serves no purpose other than to make it more likely that another dangerous incident will occur.
thing is she'd have to be really stupid not to notice me screeching to a halt behind her...aerated brakes making a thunderous noise.
I was so unbelievably angry afterwards I was close to overtaking her and forcing her to stop...but I thought better of it and just continued on calling her every name under the sun, flashing her with my lights and giving her the fingers a few more times
Also I find that younger male drivers in my experience drive too closely to the car in front,overtake on junctions and continuous white lines and speed.
fobs said:If you don't care what people think then don't post here canvassing people's opinions!
Gabriel said:I realise that what most people like to hear is that there are bad 'drivers' out there (both male and female)...but I'm sorry, my overriding experience is that most of them are female.
Gabriel said:And while you continue to make such a point, I will continue to disagree with it unless you come up with something that is more convincing. It’s up to the young drivers, taxi drivers, white van drivers, etc. etc. to take up their own issues with you – I wish them every luck.

MissRibena said:Gabriel, you are incorrect on the double standards issue. I believe I don’t have double standards or at the very least do my best not to. That doesn’t mean that I can fight every prejudiced comment ever made.

MissRibena said:If you find Bamhans post objectionable, then you challenge it
MissRibena said:With regard to Fobs point about the young drivers, which is not a view I share incidentally, at least there are statistics that might lend weight to it.
Vanilla said:I agree with Rebecca, the thread is just going around in a circle now and has just become another mundane rant against women drivers, backed up with no evidence.
I have no more interest anymore due to lack of a decent debate.
