A couple of months ago, on the same day, I was riding and a woman behind me
(I couldn't really tell her age?) switched lanes accelerated past me got back in my
lane and turned two blocks later (AND I WAS ALREADY GOING 5MPH OVER THE POSTED
SPEED LIMIT!) wanted to follow her and do a little yelling and screaming but I just
flipped her off instead. THEN less than 3 miles later an elderly man with a handicap
sticker hanging from his rearview mirror nearly pulled out in front of me.

SO, I don't think age, sex, or race plays as much a factor as a dumbass that's in a hurry
to get nowhere as it seemed to me to be the case with these two drivers that day.

Young girls and elderly people,young girls not paying attention and the elderly who don't realize that a bike can't stop on a dime like car can.

I don't trust any driver, so I am cautious around them all. That being said, if I see a BMW my antenna goes way up. I've found that they almost always drive like D-Bags and could care less about their surroundings.

The correct answer to the question: male drivers under the age of 25 are the worst drivers on the road!! Why, look at their insurance rates, insurance companies have been doing this ever since there was insurance. Trying to figure out who is the most risk, trying to figure out how to group people. If they though asians were high risk they'd charge them a premium, last I heard they pay normal rates (unless they're male under 25).

Having said that.... everytime I'm cut off, or someone closes a gap and won't let a car merge in, I look at the person driving. 9 times out of 10 it's a woman driver. This is sort of an informal survey I do, I've been doing this for years, and I usually illustrate my point to my wife. When I see a driver do something dumb, I say, I bet it's a woman driver, once I catch up , it usually is.

I had one guy tell my dad he used to ride elephants in India, lol.
Wow what a ignorant post. I'm glad narrow minded views like yours are in the minority. In Canada we are only 1 or 2 generations from being an immigrant, how soon we forget.... I'm glad people like my great grandfather and my great uncles who immigrated here and fought in the wars and died so that we have the freedom to say what we want..even if it is narrowed minded bigoted craplike like what you spew. Remember the mind is like an umbrella it works best when its open....

those would be really old cell phones
