Thank you Ron! You missed 1 point, women have to get out of their cars to
insert the ticket at a car park exit, but before they do so they forget
where they put it, turn the purse upside down while checking if the lipstick
matches the shoes and then realising the ticket is in the H&M shopping bag
in the boot. :-)

And I wouldn't say they're better drivers, they're just slower. At certain
times of a month, they go mental and zoom past traffic to cause accidents or
do an emergency stop thinking she had forgot to set the video to tape Jamie
Oliver, causing the guy behind her to hit the brakes and the woman behind
him would crash into him because of slow reactions. But because the woman
who crashed into him drives a Merc her man bought her and put under his
insurance policy as a named driver, the stats for men goes up 1 yet again.
The Merc probably isn't even scratched in the first place but the Accord the
unlucky guy was in was smashed into pieces, all because he had to fund his
family, his wife's shopping, his kids' school fees, his house and could only
afford an Accord.

I'm not the Accord man fortunately. But there were a few times I had to horn
or zoom out of the way with women drivers failing to stop in time to avoid
getting a dent in my car's arse.

And read this from the news article you sent us:

"women drivers were twice as likely to have accidents at junctions than men"

Thank you BBC.

Excellent, a good way of eliminating that particular trait. Thanks!

Out of interest - how much did you pay for your Audi? Was it new,
secondhand? Mileage? Looking at some A4s secondhand in my dealership and
they seem to be about 15K for 3 years old and the lowest milegage one is
27,000 miles.

I bought a 3 year old A4 1.8T Sport from an Independent with 26K miles, full
Audi history and a fresh Audi Service. I paid 12K (GBP) which included a 12
month warranty. I also got £500 back for my trade-in which I would have has
to pay £50 to someone to take away otherwise!!

Immediately after I bought it I claimed for 2 new front bearings and the
warranty paid for this to be done at a Audi Dealership. I also changed the
front disks & pads at that time which cost me £170. That was all 13 months
ago. Since then it passed it's MOT no bother and has needed nothing else
(other than a 40K service & brake-fluid change, Audi Dealer, £320) doing to
it.

Cheers
Matt.
