Articles of faith

There are many articles of faith that people hold.

Some of these hold true - so far, the sun has always risen tomorrow. Things fall down. The more complicated something is the more ways there are for it to go wrong.

Other articles of faith are unprovable - there is a god. He cares. There is intelligent life on Earth.

Then...then there's the ones that really do deserve a good fisking behind the bikeshed. (And if you don't know what a fisking is, look it up! It's possibly not what you think)

But today I choose to attack the belief that women make better drivers.

You see, I believe that anyone can be a bad driver - and as my evidence I present this:


It was the ultimate expression of road rage. A furious woman driver died after ramming another vehicle and spinning her wheels so fast that her own car
burst into flames.
Serena Sutton-Smith, 54, burnt to death after refusing to get out of her Vauxhall Nova as she sat with her foot flat on the accelerator.
She spun the wheels so fast that her tyres disintegrated and the metal rims sent a shower of sparks into the engine, igniting the brake fluid and setting the car on fire.
Appalled onlookers urged her to get out of the car as the flames licked around her but she told them to “F*** off”, an inquest in Gloucester was told.




Now, I'm not saying that men are better drivers.

I'm just saying be careful....you never know who's in the other car.

They're all equally dangerous.
