    None of the above.
    Option 4: Women don't have the act of driving at the top of their list of priorities whilst driving.

    ALL of my collisons with cars over the last 25+ years of cycling have involved women.

    FCN 4: Planet X Schmaffenschmack 2- workhorse
    FCN 9: B Twin Vitamin - winter commuter/loan bike for trainees

    Too true.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    I once saw a woman driving round a roundabout, while holding her mobile, putting her seatbelt on and turning round to shout at the kids on the back seat. I was amazed she had the free hands to keep the car going the right way! :shock:

    Male drivers also do stupid things, obviously.

    Ooh, good baiting, nsb.

    All my major incidents and most of the small have been with male drivers. I rear-ended a female driver once. She kindly took me to hospital to get some stitches

    You forgot option 4: women are so blown away by The Power Awesome that they forget how to drive, or even that they are in a car, or even what a car is.

    My most serious accident was caused by a women but in the 3-4 years since then I'd say it's getting much more towards an even split. Most of the incidents I post on Youtube I think have involved men......or at least rather butch looking lesbians :-D

    My wife hit another car yesterday - seems to be her yearly "accident" time....bang goes the no claims discount, again......

    She was not paying attention while parking in a local supermarket car park and scraped our car's bumper down the side of a black beetle....luckily the owner is being really cool about it.

    My nearest miss was a women, in 'Mini', on the mobile (how many Stereotypes do you want!) who clipped the end of my bars with her door mirror.

    Many women drivers are better than many men, but all too many seem to be setting out to re-enforce the stereotypes.

    What happens when they hit you or cut you up. You're about to scream bloody murder but then get a good look at them and they're the exact type of woman you would normally be attracted to. You're now left thinking "Run me over if its the only way I can get under you so be it..."

    Happened to anyone?

    God I hate women sometimes.
