Default Bloody Women Drivers
Driving home from work this afternoon I had the misfortune of having a women try to save fuel by putting her s h i t box toyota yaris into the back of my ute. The end result is not a pretty sight. Heres a few photos for you all to see.To say that I am not impressed is an understatement!

Not to sure how fast she was going as I wasn't really in the mood to ask.But we were on the M4 freeway at Parramatta and I had to brake suddenly, everyone else was able to stop except her.And she came from the lane beside me.The first thing she said to me was that hers was a new car.Big deal what did she think mine was 30 years old or something.It's my first new car and I only got it in September. OH WELL as they say s h i t happens.

No it does not happen it is caused by A*******S
I reckon I would be on Charges if somebody did that to my GT.
At least with yours they will replace the styleside, provided they paint it well should be as good as new

The tow truck drivers think it may be a right off as it has bent the A pillar and also the computer,fuse and relay boxes have been demolished.I was very surprised at how much damage there was to her car compared to mine.

Not nice to see. I have a friend who has a blue echo, and she is the worst driver I've ever had the misfortune to get in a car with.
I thought it might have been her, before I read the whole post.

Hopefully it can be repaired, and she pays up!!

Have to agree with fiery - nothing to do with gender. The only drivers who've ever hit me have all been male. Three of them reversing without looking whats behind them. Maybe females are good at hitting something in front while looking backwards and males are good at hitting something behind while looking forwards.

Sorry to see anyway - its pretty upsetting. You probably didn't even have the compensation of meeting somebody good looking. Get a Land Rover mate - you won't have to worry. Just stand back and watch them pick the bits of the other car off.

I think people are missing the point, I really don't think his comments are supposed to be sexist or offensive. It's a nice car i'd be p*ssed out of my mind too

When she said the new car comment she obviously did not realise that her car was worth about half as much as yours.

Is that around the fox hills golf course ? that must pain you some , id be upset too, accident or not.

Running up the back of someone is lack of concentration most times, and if it was in silly hour ( school pickup/dropoff) well you know what thats like :eclipsee_

If its not meant to be sexist and against women then why the thread title??

Too bad about the ute, I hope she has insurance and it all gets sorted out quickly!
