I would suggest you concentrate on the road, not what's over the hedges.

Erm - Sacha lives in the country not in town. Have you driven in Devon?
Have you driven in the country at all? If so, you will know what she is
getting at.

I live in the country... and I do _not_ look over the hedges - I watch the
road and drive at a sensible speed to brake in time for oncoming traffic -
unlike most women I encounter on the single track roads round here.

Women driving SUV's do not have a good reputation for attention to driving
care in my town, especially on the school run. Unless you have more money
than sense, go and buy a proper car, not an SUV.

Any people driving SUV's in town without a very good reason should be
banished, IMNSHO. However, why did you single out women?

because they tend to use the chelsea tractor more than men for the "kids"
and "shopping" and "lunch" etc... Most men would simply drive to work and
back.

Fact: There are far more men drivers who are much worse than women.

Proof please?


Fact: The occupant death rate for SUV's as a whole is 6% higher than it is
for cars. For the largest SUV's, the ones 'people' presume are the safest,
the occupant death rate is 8% higher.

Snip.
snap.
