Women Drivers

Women drivers get a lot of flack. And I admit, I know some bad women drivers. That does not, however, prove the rule... Or the fact that I'm an awesome driver doesn't make the exception that proves the rule either!

These photos are actually pretty funny. Click here: The 2006 Women Drivers Awards. However, if you check out these videos: 10 Worst Drivers Ever Caught on Video, then you'd realize that not all of the 10 worst drivers are women. Does that prove anything? Perhaps. (I love video #2. That kills me.)

No matter what you think of women drivers as a generalization, you probably aren't thinking that women driving leads to a "Western-style" erosion of morality and a loss of traditional values. That's taking it a BIT far, don't you think? However, that's why Saudi conservatives and religious scholars have long argued not to give women the right to drive. (See: Saudi Arabia Agrees to Lift Ban on Women Drivers ... features Saudi political cartoon below.)




I agree with the cartoon, but not in regards to just women drivers.

Asian drivers however...



Just kidding!

... or was I?

I thought #7 was the funniest of the "worst driver video's. I t reminded me of the story of two women (a mother and her daughter) who thought Einebaun meant Autobaun and were going the wrong way on a one way road in Europe; just a minute, I believe you are familiar with that story. Oh yeah, and the daughter was driving!
