My friend was riding his CBR and a chick on a cell phone pulled out right in front of him with a lifted Ford F250. He had to lay the bike down and him and the bike slid under the truck and the bike wedged under the rear diff. The chick tried to drive off and was spinning the tire since the diff was hung up so she put it into 4wd and gunned it. Luckily none of the tires got him and he went under the axle.
Effing women drivers on their phones!!!!

Some generilizations exist because they are true. It's not to say that there aren't any good female drivers and plenty of bad male drivers, but you have to admit that there are a higher percentage of bad drivers that are women than men....and I don't care what insurance stats say 
I can honestly say that out of all of the handful of near death driving experiences I have had (mostly while towing), they all happened because of a female driver being oblivious.

women driver
This is my observation about women and men and driving. Men will pay attention to every minute detail when they are driving noting all the vehicles around them and what they can possibly do and adjust where we are and how fast we are going accordingly.
Many women on the other hand once they get in a car they think they are in a bubble of invulnerability where they just need to focus on where they are going and ignore the rest of the world.
As an example how many times does a guy notice a buddy in the vehicle next to them or passing by? Now think back to the last time a woman has.
Single guys who are a bit more outgoing may be able to attest to this where they are trying to get a woman's attention by flashing their headlights, honking their horn , waving violently, and calling out the window at them. The women 9 out of ten times will not notice and will never even look at them.
Maybe this is why many women can not give accurate directions? They don't notice the little things around them.. Maybe we just need to crawl as if we were in the trail rig for some to notice?

Glad your ok.
Women drivers do suck, but only the younger ones.
I think the older, more experienced women are as good if not better than men.
There's another issue here as well. LOT'S of riders drive like ****. It's very hard to "watch for motorcycles" when there in and out of traffic at 20- 30- 40 miles an hour faster than everyone else. (not saying you were or anyone else, just sayin)
But yea younger ladies are a danger to everyone on the road, there selfs included.

That's a funny observation about directions.
Guys want addresses, girls need the full unabridged Webster's Guide to Getting There coupled with a 15 minute phone conversation walking them through the last 2 turns. It often takes more time to explain to a girl how to get somewhere, than it takes just to get there.
Whenever a girl needs to tell me how to get somewhere, I let them go through their entire speel about "left at the tanning salon, 3rd right, 2nd house from the blah blah", then just ask "do you know the address" and only write that down. It's equally amazing to realize how many people have lived in the exact same place for many years and have no idea what their exact coordinates are.
similarly, I would be completely lost in a city with no mountains or a grid system lol.
rant off.

to add what cody said... I moved to st louis back in 95 and seeing there are no reference points (mountains) to locate by it was hard for awhile... I was on one road that changed names 4 times in the span of 10 miles... and someone told me it ran east and west but at one point I was going south on it... so just knowing address does help but you need to know the lay of the land first before an address will help you out...

I was in charge of a fleet of sixty five cars in Florida about five years ago. 15 of them piloted by female drivers and 50 of them driven by male drivers. Any time there was an accident the drivers had to fill out a report and that report was sent to me. Of the accidents those vehicles were involved in half of the drivers were male and half were female... you can make your own observations from there

A bag of bearings ...sort of hard to get your hand in your pocket while riding.
Ever think of chunks of magnets...they STICK when tossed....funny to see someone trying to wiggle and shake their car while they are driving to get that to roll off their hood...lol... and magnets can sit on your frame unnoticed.

Had a gal make a right on red right in front of me as I was coasting through the intersection of 24th and Monroe about a month ago in the middle of the day. As she made the turn, my right foot came up and smashed her door.
I watched her slow for the light, but to my utter disbelief, she rolled through turning East on 24th. Her eyes and head NEVER even looked left. Even after my horn, foot and mouth making ungodly noises she failed to turn her head. As she accelerated from the side of me, I saw her young daughter start crying and pointing at me from the back seat.
I know this woman saw me and must have known she was in the wrong. Luckily, I didn't lay the bike down nor break my foot on her door, but more importantly I am glad I didn't stoop to the level of retaliation. I would have felt awful showing that young child what scary people act like, especially when I don't consider myself a scary person. At least my own kids don't find me scary.
Since my bike never hit the car and I scared the crap out of someone in the vehicle, I rode home and chalked it up to oblivious driver versus invisible cyclist. I always ride proactively and safely. Lid, boots, gloves, riding jacket and jeans.

Today commuting on I-15 some jerk off (and I assume he is a jerk off since he was wearing a big knit white turtle neck sweater and looked pompous as hell) thought his new Suburban was so big he needed to drive it in two lanes, one of which was mine. Maybe the person he was talking to on the cell phone told him he could drive like an ass.
That should make Amy happy

Maybe everyone just sucks balls at driving.
We all think were the BEST drivers on the road anyways because when you drive its YOUR road and everyone else needs to adhere to you, other wise its " Can you drive a little slower Mexico," Or " Oh, nice, glad texting takes firsts over PAYING AF***INGTENTION to the road." or " Just becuase your truck is big, looks gey, and has truck nuts, doesnt mean talking to your bromance partner on your cell about how awesome your truck nuts are is more important the DRIVING IN YOUR LANE!"

What I encountered riding today alone:
on way to work nothing to noteworthy.
on way home for lunch;
fool in tahoe, on phone comes into my lane. honk moves back over and waves as if to apoligize. not 300 yards farther as getting on freeway lady decides the turn lane she is in does not suit her anymore and proceeds to come into mine. honk she slams on her brakes and ducks back in her lane, give her a dirty look and proceed on my way. ( this happen where you get on SR201 heading westbound at 21st and 7th west)
on way back to work after lunch;
get to the interchange were I215 northbound merges with SR201 at redwood road fool in a F150 decides he wants to race up in front of me and then slam on his brakes to get off the exit as I am accelarating to get on 201. Hit the brakes a little dive over once again dirty look to him and tell him he is a dumbass.
on way home; just standard stupidity.

After living here in SLC for only a few years now, I've noticed that everybody here needs to be the person in front, no matter what. And if you want to change lanes, every person that is behind you will see your blinker and speed up so they can be in front of you.
I have learned to just cut these types of people off. I check the lane, plenty of room. Turn on the blinker and you hear them downshift and the next thing you know they are on your 4:00 coming up quick.

Absolute truth right there!
SLC drivers are very competitive and lack any semblance of courtesy. They seem to all be in a hurry, to do what, I have no idea. Maybe they're experiencing the usual MST (mormon standard time) and running 10-15 minutes late
Living in four of the top ten largest cities in the US, I can say they/we are the worst drivers...........behind idaho. god help us all

If everyone else would stay off my roads it would be much easier to drive
I hate the ones who think they can't have anyone in front of them.
I guess they think they're always in a race.
