They have more, but smaller claims, so cost the insurer less overall.

Only if they lie about who was driving.

Wrong.

No, it isn't.

Your wife must be monumentally stupid to put up with you, but - please -
don't judge them all by her standard.

I agree with you. Most are too thick to realise a car has two doors at the
rear
for a reason. So they don't need to obstruct traffic by letting children
out in to
the road!!!! What is wrong with them. They stand with the door open as if
to
say, "I'm doing it because I can and you will wait until I have finished".
I usually drive within an inch of the car with the hand on the horn.
They also park on yellow lines and school markings, drive up and down the
pavements and park on them obstructing people.
The other problem is watching them inch forward when a traffic light is on
red
and then for it to take 5 seconds to register that it's turned green and
they can
drive forward again. Using the wrong lanes is another favourite and just
stopping
in the road for no apparent reason always goes down well. The best one is
when women drive on a dual carriageway they don't appear to know what to do.
If on the inside lane with no one in front and a car goes past and brakes,
they
also brake - even though they don't seem to know why.
I see lots of bad driving!
I see more young women having accidents as they lack coordination. Give
them
a hair styler or phone and they are lethal. They also think the mirror is
for adjusting
the rubbish plastered over their faces.
Maybe boy racers just drive like girls!

Your contribution is of no interest, you are correct. I suggest alt.test if
you are
testing your news program and/or server!

Thank you for dispelling any lingering doubt that you're either a
complete fuckwit, a troll, or both.

Although I don't think it's really fair to generalise, as an example my son
probably drives several thousand miles a month for his living around Wales
and the Southwest of England, yet I always feel a lot safer and more relaxed
when I'm being driven by my daughter.
The other day I saw a young woman, I would presume to be in her early
twenties, driving a very large lorry, the traffic had to be held up whilst
she pulled across the main road and reversed into an opening, which couldn't
have left much more than about 6 inches on each side of the vehicle, perhaps
it was the chauvinist male inside of me because I thought to myself 'this is
going to be an interesting wait', however in about three maneuvers she had
lined up the vehicle and drove it straight in perfectly in one go, the whole
operation was carried out so skilfully and quickly I remember thinking as I
continued my journey 'I wish I could drive like that'!
