In my younger days I used to ride motorcycles on the road and race them on the circuit as well. For a number of years I rode on fine weekends only, until a young woman driver saw me coming along a through road, no traffic around except for her car and my motorcycle, we made eye contact, and then she pulled out in front of me! This was becoming more and more common, and almost always it was a woman driver who was deliberately putting my life at risk. This episode was the last straw, so I sold my motorcyle and never rode it again.
As a car driver I find similar behaviours happens today; appalling lack of comprehension for the conseqences of their actions. In my motorcyle experience above, her driving could have killed me? What would that experience have done to her? In my motorcycle experience above, pre-airbags, my 200kgs hitting her door side-on at 60 km/h could have killed her!
In Australia, male drivers have more collisions. On a per-kilometre basis, the only fair way to measure the worth of a driver, WOMEN DRIVERS HAVE MORE COLLISIONS THAN MEN IN EVERY SINGLE AGE GROUP.
