Women drivers just not up to it
Thursday February 05 2009
I have never rated women drivers. Granted my wife is a good driver, but still a woman driver.
Now, after this week's snow and getting stuck behind women driving around at 10kmh in big 4x4s, I really wished I lived in Saudi Arabia.
Girls, ask someone if your wheels are turning before you cause a 5km-tailback and hold up Hazelhatch bridge for an hour because "your clutch is gone". It's called a wheel spin.
Before you put those high heels on, just think, are the heels deeper than the snow?
When you are driving your husband's big, feck-off Merc or Beamer, remember it is rear-wheel drive and when you put on the power it is likely your arse will swing (or at least your car's arse).
None of the above are an excuse to stop, put your hazards on, call the AA or start crying.
Girls if you don't have the bottle for the conditions, don't set out in the first place.
