So you think 50+ year old women don't care about putting on makeup and painting their nails any more ?

I also read the story on a R6 Forum... it's sad.. the members in the forum were all ready to pop a vein....

girls aren't bad drivers, they just don't care as much and put their focus else where...

make up, nails, change outfit.. it's crazy out there.. blame it all on cops too. they usually let females go which will lead to them thinking they can get away with almost anything.. LOL...

This kind of things happens everyday, over and over again. The only difference is the victim is on a motorcycle. Come on people, how many times you guys been rear end at a stop light?

not as much anymore.

they know it's a hopeless case against wrinkles, so they don't spend as much time on the makeup.

This is what is so scary about motorcycles. I have plenty of friends who love to ride- even my dad does- but I am just too afraid.

If something goes wrong you have no airbags, no belts, no metal...no nothing. It's you vs. whatever is coming your way and there is no buffer or safety system. In this instance, this poor guy had no way to protect himself from this moron of a driver.

As I always say to my friends...I am all for going fast and having fun, but I like to do it when I have the stability of 4 wheels, the safety of air bags and belts, and the protection of sheer mass, steel and sheet metal. Driving is 50% you and 50% other people...I take all precautions necessary when I leave my house every day because I can't control what someone else could do to me.

Just one of many reasons why the death rate for a m/c is 35times higher per mile than a car............

I say there should be a punishment for putting on make up while you drive, I think a good punishment is to make them ride a motorcycle instead of driving a car

Run them all over. Don't slam on the brake and end up causing fatal accidents. People are more important animals.... It is almost guaranteed all women will stop for these creatures. Unfortunately some men do this too....

Why don't you come here, I'll run you over.

You know this thread is full of nonsense bias against women putting on their nail polish while driving, but then if u read the rest of this forum its full of threads bishing about lexus locking up the NAV system while driving. Pretty hypocritical, aint it? Its just as dangerous for a male driver to be messing with the NAV system while driving, and can cause fatal accidents as well.

Agreed, men putting on nail polish while driving are every bit as dangerous.

Well except in that case you wouldnt be able to punish/fine/ticket them because that would be hate crime/discrimination against minority

I think the reason the other poster is upset with your statement is because the fact it looks like you almost enjoy the idea of running the animals over. As if you are one of those people who would swerve just enough to run the turtle over on the side of the road.

Back on topic though, if men can be cited for street racing, which clearly it's aimed at young men who do so, why can't they specifically target young women who (eat, text, do their hair, etc etc...) while driving? I've seen plenty of the examples I've mentioned and it's predominantly women who do it. Were there guys also, of course, but the majority I've myself noticed are women.
