    Thats what i mean. Women are safer drivers maybe but defo not better drivers. To an extent, a good driver could drive slow or fast and it would make no difference on the good dry road conditions.

    To go back to women being safer drivers, whats more dangerous? Going 60 on a dual carriageway or 40? You see you can overdo this safe stuff. I mean walk, thats even safer. Safe driving to me doesnt necessarily mean slower driving.Its means good ability and judgment in all types of conditions and speeds etc

    i agree with you except for one point walking in a dual carriageway could be very dangerous in my opinion

    Make yourself park in difficult tight spaces. Even if you dont get in ,its the effort that will make you good. Do what i said and practice in tight spaces and you will park in any space that the car fits in tight or otherwise.

    Women should not have cheaper insurance then men simply because they are perceived to be safer based on speed. I drive a car and a bike and i rarely go over 60 on either and thats on big roads. Why the hell should i have to pay more than someone because im a different sex? Its nonsense and wrong.

    Men are better drivers than women, women are slower drivers so the chances of them crashing are reduced hence cheaper car insurance.

    And another thing i shouldnt have to pay for two seperate insurance policies either as i can only crash on one or the other and not both at the same time.

    The news at ten for the BBC.

    "today a man from Cork was killed instantly as his car landed in a ditch on the outskirts of Ballyduff. Gardai are investigating a separate incident in which the same man was killed when his bike left the road."
