So, women "make the safest drivers"

so why do they reverse down an australian highway, with a kangaroo chauffer (show-fur for those who've never seen that word, it had me for days) , facing the wrong direction, then drive the right way but sing to a camera on the back right of the car..... they aren't even fucking watching where they are going!

do these people really think they will draw women drivers with their pretty pink advert and sarcastic,hypocritical style the advert was in?

maybe sexism is still back in the 50's over their?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

WTF am i talking about?^^^ most of that didn't even make sense.

Its a tv advert.....its not a modern interpretation of some Greek classic.

I don't believe that even someone with half a brain and only the one eye would believe that they were driving the Caddy, I believe we need to view this advertisement with a sense of irony.

I dont know of any Grand Prix women drivers.

Scotsman.com News - Why Formula 1 really is the pits for women

Anyway, 'Sheila's Wheels' is purely a marketing ploy to make half the population think they're getting a special deal. It's just a different name for esure - which is part of Halifax Bank of Scotland - it makes no difference whether you're male or female, you're basically just getting standard esure insurance with a different label on it. Any bloke can get a quote from them just as easily (but he'd probably want to keep it quiet...) It's supposed to look like a separate Australian company, giving the image of poor gullible sexist Aussie blokes so women think they're taking advantage to get a cheap deal. They're not.

Women have more accidents overall

Men just have bigger and much more spectacular accidents:up:

"Diamond Insurance, which specialises in covering female drivers, points out that men are convicted of 92% of driving offences and account for 98% of dangerous driving convictions.

It says that both genders typically have the same number of accidents but while women are prone to minor bumps around town and "knocks when parking", men tend to do more extensive damage which runs up a bigger repair bill. " Guardian Unlimited

Looks like you were almost right.

Good article. Shame F1 is lacking behind in this area when comparative US sports have had women drivers for years.

It's also occurred to me that one of the main factors for Beverley Turner getting her job on F1 probably wasn't her sporting knowledge or presenting skills. Since she left you never see Louise Goodman reporting from the same kind of events that she did, dressed in slinky evening gowns etc.

Everyone knows Formula 1 isn't a real sport.

Really....so what is it then (in your opinion)

The American version probably involved lots of women wearing tight leather with big boobs.

No, mostly it involves racing cars and people skilled and fit enough to race them...ok there is some leather and tits, but hey....whats wrong with that?

I'd be interested to hear your definition of a "real sport" then, considering the amount of physical fitness required to drive a F1 car for two hours. I'm pretty sure that F1 drivers lose a fair few pounds every race, and are subjected to ridiculous amounts of G-Force, so you simply can't get away with being physically weak.

If that's not a real sport, what is? The Marathon des Sables?

I'd like to think that the women involved got there by virtue of their driving ability.

Marathons are an example of real sport.

I approve of fit women taking part in sport, especially when they wear revealing clothes.

Of course, they are clearly better drivers, despite having more accidents. Sheila's wheels says so.

I got invited to be a Mason but declined - there was no way I was going to felate a goat.

Come now, everyone knows Masons don't invite members.

.... and for the record, the goat thing comes from a rumour from ages ago. The GOAT came from the old use of God Of All Things. Which later became 'Great Architect Of The Universe.'
