Thank heavens I wasn't the type of driver you portray, Nigel, although I don't disagree with alot of what you say there.

However after driving 44 tonne artics, 38 tonne artics, 17 tonne rigids and goodness knows how many 7.5 tonne vans..aswell as several cars including a Turbo Supra and driving a 5.7 methanol Trans Am on a dragstrip for 8 seasons, I don't feel that I can put myself into the category of most 'women' drivers. I did do my own maintenance on the trucks and the majority of the cars, I also owned and maintained a few motorcycles too, the largest being a 900 Honda. I might only have driven for a mere 25 years in total but only wrote one car off, due to a steering rack failure, and one motorcycle, due to being hit by a drunk driver, I never had any points on the licence when I had it and most of my so-called 'terrified of being a passenger' passengers fell asleep when I drove cos they felt safe with me behind the wheel. I drove both in this country and most of Europe too either in the car or truck and never had any problems whatsoever.

Its probably why when I got my insurance for the modified 3 litre Turbo Supra the premium was £204.50 fully comp with all modifications declared (increased bhp to 298, bailey d/v etc) plus NCB protection, roadside relay and all glass cover, and I was just 33 when I bought it.

So, yes Nigel, there are some crap lady drivers out there, but there are also a few of us who ain't that bad either. Doesn't mean I didn't make mistakes, cos I did as everyone does, but I learned from them and didn't make a habit of making them.



p.s. I have also got several people through their driving test from scratch on trucks and cars too....all passed first time.

Yes, but to be fair some of those are male drivers, we get them too, as I suspect most areas do.

It's not, but apparently it helps, as it gives a feeling of safety when you leave it parked on the zig zag line outside the school.

Very restrained of you, I'dve smiled sweetly and told them "because some moron parked where I was meant to stop"

Thats definately the way to do it, despite rumours from "some" on here who think anyone from our generation especially ex military are mindless thugs, unlike the peaceful citizens who put the gent into intensive care for objecting to being abused and having his car hit by stones.......

LMAO, so cruel but so true! But it does help pay Ivan's bills so it's not all wasted
