disabled tend to pay more for insurance, the old find it harder to get a good policy, I won't comment on women insurance though.....

As for blue badge, you can only use the blue badge if you have the owner of the badge with you, and yes, you can have a blue badge for a passenger. I don't begrudge them parking closer, the only thing that pisses me off, when I go shopping, i could probably get away in the parent and toddler slots most weeks, but don't unless I got the kids with me, but half the time, you can't park due to ignorants parking 'cause they are only going to be five minutes'

telboy, I'm not quite sure where they get the idea from that women are less of a risk than men. O.k. so it's many years ago now but before I made that fateful decision to make my then girlfriend my wife, she passed her driving test at the second attempt.
I soon came to question the sanity of the examiner who'd passed her on her second attempt. There was no seperate theory test then but you were supposed to know the signs in the highway code.
As I rode a motorcycle and it was a cold winters night we went out in her mums car, it was her second time out after passing her test. We got to a T junction clearly marked with give way lines but clearly she hadn't learnt what these meant. Oh no we sail straight across the give way lines and into the side of a police car!!!
She was hysterical, I was pissing myself laughing and the policeman was close to tears that his brand new police car was now corrugated down one side!

Typically women are paid less money though. Im not sure if thats the case there, but it is here in the States.

Hilarious thread!

To level the balance of the 'woman are bad drivers' I sat at Tredegar park round-a-bout to go onto the motorway, i moved up to the line, the bloke behind me didn't look, and impailed the radiator of his rover 600 onto my tow hitch.... no damage to mine, his car was having a good wee all over the road.... i asked if he was alright, he said he was, and drove off..... onto the motorway..... i think he seized half a mile down the motorway... hee hee

God that roundabouts a fun one, i have had quite a few near misses, but the best has to be the idiot slamming on the brakes behind me and not noticing I was slowing down, I saw what was happening and turned just in time to watch him hit the lamp post hehehe funny.

I saw a woman approach a junction once, only to carry on to the broken white line in the middle of the road...and then get hit by a transit.

Excuse?......she thought the white lines in the middle of the road were there to pull up to for the juction (if you know what I mean?). Best thing about it, she'd been doing it for 3years since passing her test!!! and wondered why people were always mad with her for 'just pulling up to the junction'!!



don't get me wrong disabled people do need the closer spaces. it just annoys me when they park in 'ours' when there are disabled spaeces still left.

Equal opp's just really does my head in though. because the people that cried out for it, now get preferential treatment compared to us 'normal males'.

There are some blokes out there that are just as bad....if not worse than women too. Like the old man ploughed into the back of my car whislt travelling down hill towards a junction and looking for a casette on the floor....hmmm....

he wrote my car off, and said 'I didn't see you'.....well you wouldn't when your looking at your feet would you!
