WWCS, is that you again?
Both of my parents were excellent drivers.
I’ve been driving for 54 years, all but the first two with a license. I’ve never totaled a motor vehicle or been in a reportable accident that was my fault.
My sister is a highly rated driving instructor and tester.
As for driving a horse, I’ve done it, never had a wreck or run-away, but I’d definitely need a refresher course and an experienced person beside me!

Come on, have a sense of humor! No need to take it personally, if it doesn't apply to you. It's just good fun. Funny because it's true. We all know the stereotype of the terrible woman driver. And most stereotypes at least have a basis in fact.
-
My problem with women drivers is that they rarely give way and allow a car to slip in front of them.

interesting...

hmmm...is this the aforementioned soy-boy that a previous post labeled you?

At least where I live, teen girls car insurance costs 25% more than teen boys. Same company, same everything, just girl instead of boy. Insurance as a business lives and dies by true statistics.

Nah, he doesn't bother with anonymous posts. But it is clearly a troll.

Are they allowed to do that? I'd think that would fall under some kind of discrimination laws, similar to how insurance companies can't charge different rates for various races. (They did back in Jim Crow days.)
They might be able to get by with it for life insurance, in that men and women have statistically different life expectancies.

Hairdressers in France and UK charge 3 times for women than for men. They still get away with it.
Smarter women go to gentlemen's hairdressers on slow days and save a small on haircuts

I can think of many situations with female drivers (mostly older women). Recently this fat lesbian-looking woman yelled at my husband to move his car because she couldn't open her passenger door even though he was well within the lines. A beta looking man was behind her. Well, better to move the car then her hitting it.
Recently, it's been with how they're parked and think it's okay to let you pass through even when it was unsafe. Even when anyone stops for you and gestures for you to go, don't trust them. Also, I know some female family members who got into car accidents.

The frickin Zebra? Well that ends the discussion right there. The Zebra is basically the same as the Bible. Zebra locuta est, causa finita est.

But all joking aside, that site is clearly a low end clickbait site trying to sell you insurance. Just look at the menu items. The whole site has one purpose: making someone(s) a lot of money. That's it.

Yeah, Croix's been active in Anon since he got banned more decisively last time.

I often do this, except when the person behind me is flashing his lights, leaning on the horn, nudging my bumper, flipping me off, head out the window, spewing profanities. In that case, I hold him back for a bit, then let him pass and pray that he’ll be somewhere behind or just even with me at the next light. Better yet, that I’ll whizz past him while he’s pulled off the side with a cop car behind him.

Here's another website (although this also looks like another place to get quotes, it's basing its information on statistics):
How Do Car Insurance Rates by Age and Gender Affect Costs?
Does Gender Affect Car Insurance?
Gender affects car insurance rates, especially among (https://www.consumercoverage.com/blog/auto-insurance/car-insurance-rates-by-age-and-gender)younger drivers (https://www.consumercoverage.com/auto/young-driver-car-insurance). According to Statista, young men pay significantly more for car insurance than young women. The average monthly premium for a 20-year -old man is $142 per month, while 20-year-old women pay an average of $126 per month.
Those rate differences are based on statistics. According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), women are in fewer car accidents than men, and those accidents are less likely to be DUI accidents. Additionally, men are more likely to be involved in a fatal accident than women. Data suggests that women take fewer risks behind the wheel than men, so insurance companies charge men higher premiums because of the increased risk they assume when insuring men.

I save even more by cutting my own hair. I wear a simple bob with bangs. I cut it when wet and let it air dry into its natural waves.
A hairdresser is needed only a few times a year, and then, yes, there’s a barbershop where I get my hair trimmed professionally for $7.99, and an “old lady” salon the first Tuesday of the month gives senior discounts. I can get a shampoo, conditioning treatment, scalp massage, rainwater rinse, cut, and blow dry for $10. I’m planning to splurge next week and get this for the extra $2.00. I skip the blow dry, however. They damage my hair, dry out my scalp, and lead to split ends. My hair turns out nicer in the open air or with air vent open in the car.
The barber shop charges the same for men and women for the basic cut. The old lady salon doesn’t say for women only, but you never see men there, just women, mostly 40’s on up. They don’t offer make services like shaves, beard and mustache, sideburns, etc. The barbershop does offer guy services and the basics for male and female alike, plus kids. My Dad went there nearly all his life because he always wore a military crew cut. The original proprietor had cut hair in the Navy. His son took over after he retired. The son was killed by a drunk driver who slammed into him while he was mowing his lawn. The business was taken over by his wife for a short time, and is now run by a grandson.

Sorry, I got off track. Back to female drivers.
I’m a good driver, spent about eight years driving Amish folk long distances to visit other communities and locally in places where you can’t take a horse and buggy, or where some Amish do go by horse, but it’s pretty dangerous. A half mile illegally up/off an interstate with semis passing you at 75-89 mph. is hair raising. Only the calmest horses (and drivers) can do it. I’ve never known an Amish woman to take a horse on that route, “the arterial,” as it was called. I’ve been a passenger in a buggy once on that route and it was scary. There is a way around it on country roads, but it adds five miles to the trip. Ten extra miles at 1 horsepower is not insignificant for the horse and in terms of time. Many women do it, however, as town is THE place to sell produce and make a good profit.

One of my husbands favorite sayings- “Woman drivers, no survivors.” :jester:

One of my husbands favorite sayings- “Woman drivers, no survivors.” :jester:
My parents, Dad especially, took pains to make sure that saying didn’t come true for we girls. For whatever reason, I had more interest in driving and vehicles than my sister. Dad’s workplace was sort of like a huge campus, but most of it for employees only. It was originally an army base in WWI. It was the ideal place to learn to drive, roads of all kinds, stop signs, traffic lights, different terrain, and on weekends, few vehicles and people present, just the skeleton crew. Dad would put in a few hours extra in his office while I drove all over. I could drive by age 13, but not legally on public roads. I got my permit at 15 which meant I could drive with a licensed driver of 18 or older in the car, and got my full license right after my 16th birthday. The state has tightened up the laws since then.
I took Driver’s Ed in high school in order to save money on insurance, but I already had my license.
There was one girl in the class who was a disaster on wheels. This was before seatbelt laws went into effect. When she got behind the wheel, everyone put on their seatbelts! The teacher required those in the front to wear seatbelts, but he merely encouraged it for those in the back. At different times we shot across an intersection onto the sidewalk, stopping with a jolt about a foot from the plate glass window of a laundromat. Once we ended up driving on the grass of a sod farm. She blew through red lights, stopped at green, stalled out the engine—-how was this possible in an automatic transmission? She hit a mailbox, drove up on a curb, panicked and skidded across the road because a squirrel ran into the street. The teacher did not allow her to practice parallel parking on a real vehicle, just using the lines and some orange cones in the school parking lot. Once, she was driving in a housing development where there was a wheeled cart containing three galvanized metal trash cans awaiting pick up. There were curbs, sidewalks, and plenty of space in front and behind the cart, a perfect place for her to practice parallel parking. She backed right into the cart, broke the taillight, and sent the cart rolling down a hill. It hit the speed bump and toppled onto its side, spilling out the trash. Some woman came out of a house yelling at us and the teacher. He made everyone go pick up the trash, replace the lids, and push the cart back up to its original location. The girl did very little of the work. She mostly stood watching, saying, “Sorry, sorry. I couldn’t see it. Sorry.” Only one other kid got to drive before we had to return to school. She failed her road test five times, a nearly impossible feat, and still didn’t have her license when we graduated. I hope she married some rich guy who hired a chauffeur or she moved to the city where you can live quite easily without a car.
Perhaps the writer of the parody is her husband!

This is either WWCS or another soy boy sobbing in his lite beer because he's still an Incel which of course is the fault of all women.

Why is it politically incorrect among all generations to poke fun at women, the way we poke fun at men? Is it because women don't have a sense of humor, so we mostly make fun of men?
Is it similar to the reason why we can't joke about negroes and watermelon and fried chicken anymore, because they get emotional and upset so easy? Seriously asking.

Exactly! The song is funny because it pokes fun about woman drivers like her everywhere. It's not every woman, but it's a funny trope.

The top–up-voted comment:
My maiden's driving skills are so awful, chaotic and destructive the villagers assumed she was one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It was so bad the Pope himself decreed a ban on driving for all women.
🤣

Did someone say women have no sense of humor?

Again, I wouldn't have thought they could do something such as this.
Also note that it works to women's advantage. Just saying...

Now that it appears the insurance stats prove that the OP's accusation is wrong (that women aren't the worst drivers overall), you've now decided to point out that the insurance rates work to women's advantage. ::)

First of all, it's a joke. Joking about horrible women drivers has been a thing for decades. You can say it has no basis in fact if you wish, but stereotypes and tropes don't materialize out of thin air with no basis. And this trope has legs, having existed in jokes for decades. A trope or stereotype doesn't get legs without having a basis in fact.
Second of all, I for one don't give a rats ass about fact checkers, questionable websites, or media of any kind. I have first hand experimental knowledge of the matter. How many teens are you insuring right now? We recently had to get car insurance for a boy and a girl. The boy was around $100 a month, the girl was around $125 a month for the same insurance. Same company, same location, same age. But the girl was 20% to 25% more. Why?

Yeah, it was just a joke. Given the atmosphere around here lately, I highly doubt it was just a "joke" (not to mention the crude language in said "joke").
What you have is an anecdote, not necessarily what is true across the board. I don't know why you paid more for the girl. Did you bother to ask them?
-
I doubt insurance companies pull that out of thin air. But maybe they do? I’m guessing they look at stats showing that teen girls have more accidents than boys. Then again, teenage boys are very reckless. In the small town that I grew up in, teenage boys were always tearing up mud roads with their jacked up trucks, racing and generally acting stupid. Girls had accidents because they are generally more aloof.
