Woman Drivers on Public Transport

    Just saw earlier that the driver of that subway train that crashed in Washington was a woman. Recall a crash last year in Crumlin involving a Dublin bus that was also being driven by a woman. At the time witnesses said they saw the driver helplessly drive through the boundary wall of a garden with a blank expression on her face. Crashes involving public transport being operated by men happen all the time as well but its usually turns out to be signal or mechanical failure. We all know that men and women have different skills and are suited to different tasks in life. Women for example are better learners and outperform men for example in university exams and excel in jobs that involve repetition. Men on the other hand are better thinkers and are good at hitting the ground running. Please discuss

    OP, I suggest you go get some research to back up these wildly sexist claims before you get torn to shreds.

    I'd imagine a train getting derailed would be a mechanical issue rather than a bad driver issue.....

    Personally, I don't have a problem with women drivers. I get my girlfriend to drive me everywhere.

    Seriously?
    *Edit* actually i couldn't be arsed posting the links etc. to all the recent DB crashes where the drivers have been male.


    Oh look, lets use an old photoshopped pic to prove my point that all women drivers are crap.
    I've had 2 crashes, rear ended on the M50 by a male in rush hour traffic, and the side of my car was taken off at a junction where I had right of way, again by a man.
    I'd never tar all men as ****é drivers, some people are just ****é drivers.
