Is it because I is hate bikers?

From some pretty dull DfT research into their THINK BIKER! ads, enlivened by this particular piece of BNP bait:

In other cultures, it's probably not that you're just as likely, but that it's your time.

i did just skim read that so i may have missed something, but i'd be interested in a study that compared results between male and female drivers.

My experience is that when it comes to lack of observation and a total inability to understand the highway code (eg giving way etc is not 'different when it's a motorbike' ) women drivers take the fecking biscuit and far outweigh the male of the species for the kind of idiocy that makes you want to chew through your lid.

Obviously not all women (i also drive myself )

Is it just me or does anyone else find this too?

All I want to know is, why is it everytime I nearly get killed its some old fart in a Skoda Fabia? Its either an old person or plod but i'm sure those cars are not fitted with indicators.

Because white male drivers are sissys who wish they could even dare to get on motorbikes, but don't trust themselves.

As for the women drivers debacle, I find women drive worse in general but men drive like cunts in general, more aggressive driving, pushing in etc

i like the pistonheads quote

I agree about the driving styles, i think there's room for different 'think bike' campaigns aimed at women and men. They seem to have different 'issues' when it comes to squidging-up bikers.

Im just sick of people going on and on about how DANGEROUS bikes are. okay, I understand that people emphasise bike accidents, but its just getting annoying. a simple "take care" would do. bah!
