Wow. My written test was pathetically easy... but the road test took me three shots. Heh heh.

women are not safer drivers. they are not able to make judgement calls as well as men. for a long time, i thought that was bullshit, because my mom is actually a really good driver. i thought my sister was just a fluke. but no. i would estimate, that about 75\% to 85\% of the time when i see someone do something really really stupid, and i manage to see the sex of the person driving the car, its a woman. putting on a seatbelt, driving the speed limit, not tail gating, are not gonna help if you cant make a good judgement call. i also notice women not paying attention to road signs more often than men. yknow, like that great one "STOP", or "No Turn On Red". why are these signs here? for your safety! when it says stop, its likely because you dont have right of way. stop is not "slow down by 5 miles an hour, glance, and go anyway". no turn on red. this is here, because its hard to see enough of the lane coming to make a good judgement on whether or not you can make it. that means DONT TURN ON RED! heres a good one. when theres a mack truck turning left in the oncoming traffic, and you want to make a u turn there. do you a) wait for the semi to go, so you can see if cars or coming, or b) go and hope no one hits your brother in the passenger seat? hmm, well i almost got hit, i guess the answer is b? or maybe when youre coming to a 4 way stop, do you just go on through, nearly hitting the car with right of way, because your more important because your driving an suv and you have to get the kiddies to soccer practice? look. it may seem sexist, and it may seem unfair, but whatever. women are not as good drivers as men, for whatever reason. and just because its decided that someone is the cause of the accident, doesnt mean the other person didnt have plenty to do with it.just learn to live with it.

Learn to live with it.. right, that'll happen.Anyways, I tend to agree. Just about everytime I get stuck behind someone doing 95 on a 100 road (which really means 110 minimum, thank you 10km/h buffer), it is 90\% (NO exaggeration!) a female driver whos scared to drive too fast with the road a little wet from a recent rain. Don't get me wrong, I know enough to slow down on a very wet road. But I mean damp road.. or sometimes there absolutly no reason for it. I agree with Sithee, they (women) just do seem to make bad judgement calls. Like they're too defensive, not aggressive enough. Or aggressive at the wrong times. Oh yeah, I passed my written and drivers the first time on each. ------------------
When my flying days are over, and my death has come to pass
I hope they bury me upside down, so the whole damn world can kiss my ass
