What type of driver do you fear?

[Mr Pig]

Actually anything with a trailer ... I think they usually forget they have got the trailer on when they pull back in after over taking.

Oh yeah! F**** idiot b******s!!! Nearly been taken out by a couple of low-loaders.

Although that's carelessness, a taxi driver flying past you with inches to spare is recklessness. Which I think is worse.

I have found middle aged + women in 4x4's to be the only consistantly lethal group...

I am currently conducting a study because I am convinced there is a correlation between how short they are and how dangerous they are... the 5 footers that have to look through the gap between the steering wheel and the dashboard being the worst!

Heh heh heh...ask Karen how tall she is..

 

[ComedyPilot]

Anyone that drives without due care and attention, or dangerously.

All generalised groups do it, so can't point the finger at one group or another.

 

[Wigsie]

How tall are you Karen?

Maybe a bad idea, just seen her post saying she is moving back to the South East, if she's a shorty I am F*cked!

5ft 5. am a good driver but can't reverse or parallel park for toffee. stereotype away...leaves the way open for me at a later date. At least my car can take the weight of a thule 4 bike carrier which someone on some other thread can't.

 

[karen.488walker]

[Wigsie]

Oh yeh, i got 2 bikes in the back of my mums 206:
I reckon i could have got another 1 in the back.
Id love to show a pic of the car with the kayak and canoe ontop, but not sure if we have one.
Thats the 206 aswell

Hopefully not, only 31!

 

[Joe24]

Oh yeh, think your 4x4 is good(this was 2007 by the way!)

Canoe, kayak, bike and other caravan stuff(including a foldable rotary airer so my mum can still do her hobby of washing) were all there
Went through the middle of Prague like that, just behind a football riot that was going into Sparta Prague's ground.
This year, its 2 bikes, and 3 kayaks(on the roof, bikes in caravan) going along, with all the caravan stuff/our stuff(5 of us in the car aswell)
4x4? Rubbish

Although this should go into Linfs thread actually

Short women in big 4x4's..Bah.

My mum(about 5"2 but i think shes 5"1) used to drive a Volvo 440
Seat right forward, head not far from steering wheel, no power steering and heavy pedals. Used to have to help her turn the wheel sometimes
She then went to a 206 with power steering and put weight on

Beware! Small women in big cars..........


They are very strong.
Well not now they have power steering.....
