A Hypothesis: The Worst Drivers[views:5032][posts:52]_________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:02pm - Martins ""] So I've been driving for a few years now and I like to think of myself as a decent and vigilant driver. I like to look at the faces of drivers as they drive by and especially when they do something stupid. Something I've noticed is that much more often than not, the worst drivers on the road are women. I know that is already a stereotype but I want to prove it. My hypothesis is that women are naturally bad drivers when compared to men. This may be because of their natural inability to perceive depth as well as their male counterparts. Let's prove it. Every time you see a driver do something stupid, look in to see who the driver is and make a post with what sex and in what age group they were on here. I will collect that data and make charts and graphs. I guarantee you they will be women most of the time. Especially the age extremes, young (16-25 or so) and elderly. I'm not misogynistic and I'm not saying ALL women are bad drivers but I want cold hard facts and lulz. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:06pm - Martins ""] I don't. I'm terrible at it. I'm just making an observatory hypothesis I want proven lol. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:08pm - mOe ""] I cant help but agree with you on this one...even my gf (who doesnt drive very often at all on account of her eyesight) will agree when in the car with me that the most boneheaded drivers are women 75% of the time. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:08pm - yummy ""] I have to go out for a bit. I'll post results. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:11pm - metal_church101 ""] One of my co-workers (who is asian) said that by far, the worst drivers are asian women. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:13pm - dreadkill ""] the worst drivers are rhode islanders. |

| ______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:16pm - Yeti ""] aside from the train ride into Natick, my commute is walking. i walk an hour and a half every day, and have for almost 2 years, so i've spent a lot of time watching drivers for my own safety, and i have to agree. i am not misogynistic either, its just something i see. i can't begin to count how many times i would have been taken out by a woman on a cell phone had i not been paying attention. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:17pm - Yeti ""] of course i've had close calls with guys too, but like 8 out of 10 times its a woman behind the wheel. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 3:17pm - Martins ""] My point exactly. Statistics point to women sucking dick at driving cars way more than men. |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:04pm - The true CNV ""] women actually have lower insurance rates then men because statistically men get in more accidents. There was a show on tv that was about the worst American city's for driver's Miami was number one Boston got 3rd |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:17pm - powerkok ""] I dont need charts or graphs to tell me that most women cant drive for shit. I see it every day. The worst is a 17-25 year old asian girl on the cellphone. Somehow, in magical cellphone land, all road rules and laws, no longer pertain to her, and nothing she does has any consequence. I drive 60% of the day, everyday. By 4-5 oclock, I want to behead motherfuckers, due to stupidity, but I pride myself on my valiant restraint. One day tho....the fuckin machete will come out. |

Bad drives often DO NOT get in wrecks, but they make road conditions bad and cause other people to get in wrecks. All of the really shitty drivers I know personally have minimal wrecks/tickets. It's because they're retarded, not fast. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:33pm - Conservationist ""] powerkok said:The worst is a 17-25 year old asian girl on the cellphone. Followed shortly by a black woman, and finally, anyone in an SUV. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:44pm - powerkok ""] Yeah thats very true. Black woman are right behind asians, only due to the fact that most black woman can see over the steering wheel. Some dumb white cunt backed over my Corrola a few years ago while at a stop sign. Read that closely. BACKED OVER my car while at a stop sign. I wasnt there, my wife was driving. One guess as to the vehicle make? SUV. Bitch didnt even look or notice that a fucking 4 door car was behind her. I still want to rip that dumb yuppie bitches tits off and feed em to her family, but I, as before mentioned, have vigilant restraint. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 11:22pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] i'll never forget when i was sitting in my car on tremont Street right by the Wang Center. I hear lots of beeping, look up to see an asian woman going really fast the wrong way down Tremont(3 lane one way street). She almost hits me while turning around, doing a billion point turn even though it's 3 lanes....probably my biggest WTF moment of 2005 |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 11:32pm - archaeon ""] The%20true%20CNV said:women actually have lower insurance rates then men because statistically men get in more accidents. That's from speeding/taking risks not the ability to handle the vehicle. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 1:01am - the_reverend ""] how the fuck is it after 1952 and this is a real honest to goodness thread? have you guys ever seen a single stand up comedian besides red buttons? jesus christ. I can't watch more than 2 minutes of comedy central with out someone making fun of either women, asian, or asian women drivers. dudes, the 1970's called, they want their material back. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 1:03am - the_reverend ""] martins on so many drugs he's forgotten 50+ years of comedy. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 1:05am - Martins ""] omg wutz diz comidee u tok abot? No, I know. I even said I'm aware of the stereotype but I'm just showing everyone that there's actual proof out there to substantiate the stereotype. In actuality, this thread was probably not necessary. I'm drunk off Roxicet so touch my left testicle. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 1:08am - the_reverend ""] did the doctors give you it back in a jar? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 1:09am - Martins ""] NO! I asked them to but they were all like no because parents get freaked out. I told the bitch to suck me off but she only gave me a shitty handjob. :( Wait, my testicle or my tonsils? |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 2:54am - NoodleFace ""] I always noticed whenever somebody cuts me off or does something completely retarded on the road that their car has a ton of dents and crushed in panels all over it. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 8:13am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] In terms of driving, I encountered many idiots today on the way to work, but 2 of them were severe idiots. These people were women. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 8:56am - grizloch ""] so I work in emergency road service at AAA, and in my two weeks here I've only encountered 2 accidents, guess who was driving... in a related story, I was on the nys thruway pulling up to a tollbooth and as is usual at 5pm it was backed the fuck up, so I stopped, who runs into my van's trailerhitch but a stoned college aged girl from vermont... women suck at driving |

| _______________________________ [Jul 16,2008 10:47am - Yeti ""] i take a cab in the morning to the train station, and this morning was the first time a woman was driving, and it was also the first time i had to tense up because i thought she was going to hit something from not paying full attention. it happened more than once. i hate to sound sexist but man, it keeps happening. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 10:59am - xmikex ""] We need to define some perameters here. What counts as a stupid act, and are there varying degrees of stupidity? |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 11:02am - FuckIsMySignature ""] almost got backed over by some stupid broad in a giant truck yesterday. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 11:02am - RustyPS ""] I think most people (men, women, white, black, asian, old, young, middle aged, etc.) suck at driving. I used to work as a car transporter for a car rental company meaning I was on the road most of my day, and more often than not, someone would do something stupid on the road. If you drive enough, you'll see someone try something they shouldn't, and it's all walks of life in my experience. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 11:28am - succubus ""] my coworker got wiped out on his bycycle by a dude in an SUV that didn't see him...he decided to turn right without a signal and hit my friend who was riding his bike straight in front of him...the dude in the SUV didn't bother checking his mirror...he is paying for my friend's med bills and bike repairs. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 11:42am - RustyPS ""] The 2 accidents I've been in that weren't work related, both were men (one white and one Guatemalan), and both rear ended me when I was at a stop light. The first one was the white guy. He was driving one of those huge conversion vans, and it was a clear day, but he claimed that he hydroplaned into me when it wasn't wet out, and it hadn't rained for days. The second one was the Guatemalan guy (yes, he actually spoke English, although he had a fake ID), and it was pouring out. It was actually the intersection by Wonderland station and Club Lido for those that know that area. He hit me so hard, he actually pushed me into the middle of the intersection. My car ended up totalled. His car's (an old sports car) front end was basically vaporized, and all the fluids were leaking out of his engine. My guess was that he either wasn't paying attention or his brakes gave out. The dude and his 2-month pregnant girlfriend were too hurt to explain what happened. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 1:06pm - Martins ""] Well clearly idiots span the spectrums of race, sex, and age but my point is that more often than not women are going to do stupid things. A few weeks ago on 28 (where a lot of young teenage dumb bleach blond bitches drive at ridiculous speeds because they have to go get drunk at 3 in the afternoon at their bleach blond friend's 9,000,000 sq. ft. home) I was at a stoplight maybe 3 cars back and the car in front of me was trying to switch to the lane to the right of us. Suddenly some bitch comes by in that right lane at about 60 miles per hour JUST as the light turns green and misses the car in front of me by centimeters. It was one of those things where your car rocks side to side a ton from the wind. Fuck that bitch. She was in an SUV, btw. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 3:17pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Yeah, but what color was her hair? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 4:46pm - sxealex ""] Women drive significantly less than men on average that is probably the main reason they have less accidents. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 4:48pm - powerkok ""] Rev, this has nothing to do with comedy. It is in fact not funny at all. Did a woman crush your Corrolla? No? Not yet? When it happens, let me know if you think woman are still undeserving of this. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 4:51pm - sxealex ""] also keep in mind who is more likely to drive drunk from societal standards. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 16,2008 4:51pm - sxealex ""] rev drives a honda :p |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 17,2008 12:38am - CtB0rderpatrol ""] top 3: women, asians, bostonians. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jul 17,2008 12:41am - thegreatspaldino ""] asian women, whether its from china or india, or where ever else, are the worst. women in general are pretty bad though. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 17,2008 12:55am - Arist ""] Whenever I see women drive terribly, they usually throw their hands in the air and just gun it when they make a stupid mistake. So many times I see them pulling out without having right of way, cutting off people and getting scared when the moment comes that I could see a mile away. somehow throwing your hands in the air and looking confused is a way to get out of traffic jams |
| _________________________________ [Jul 17,2008 1:51am - Martins ""] Every time I see that a woman is driving a car near me I'm always super cautious. Today some female asshole was sticking halfway into the street through a stop sign on a main road and it barely allowed for two cars to pass. She was a stupid bitch and I cock slapped her with Mark Richard's balls. |

I'm going through Columbian Square in Weymouth(admittedly the worst intersection I've ever seen). I have the right of way and this old mutherfucker california-rolls it through the stop sign straight into my company vehicle. I pullover and call an officer and the dude gets out and starts calling me a "fuckin animal". This is about the time I notice he's wearing a Pirate-style eye patch on his right eye(coincidentally on the same side I was rightfully approaching from). The officer saw the damage and knew exactly what happened. The old man got his citation and ended up with a wrecked minivan he had to explain to his wife about. Ha!:shocker: |
