Gotta look good for the winners circle!
I never said women, can't men put on makeup too? You're right though, the makeup part targets women, sorry. While the number of each group of drivers (sex, ethnicity, vehicle, et al) affects the statistical outcome doesn't mean they are the worst or best.

Thanks to the OP for posting this.
Another pet peeve. Drivers running lights. And no stops at stop signs.
My wife was stopped at a light no emergency, normal slow and stop; hit from behind a week or so ago. Guy planned to run the light.

She was able to stop,with no emergency. For whatever reason, he didn't. Didn't have current insurance information either. I'm sure he has a story.

A few years ago I almost got hit from behind at an advance green. I could have almost made it but noticed a cop sitting in the lane next to the left turn lane a car or two back from the light, so I decided discretion was called for and stopped.........fairly quickly as the advance left ended. Behind me I heard LOUD squealing tires and thought for sure I was going to get hit. But the guy managed to get it stopped .........right beside the cop. That cop chewed that guy a new one for several minutes (on the green light). I guess cops can be in the right spot at the right time from time to time.

The new protocol for advanced green is to keep going, as well as about 20 cars behind you well after the light has gone past yellow and turned red. You just stay tight on the bumper of the car ahead and the red light doesn't actually matter. After all, no-one can go if you're still in the intersection turning, right?Lately, people are doing the above so badly I start to pull ahead and lay on the horn and start giving them the finger. Geeze, going on the yellow is OK but when I've had the green for 5 or 10 seconds and I'm still waiting it's turned past rediculous to complete retardedness. I know people say "road rage" is bad and just let it go, but so is turning on a red and I have no respect or patience for people running red lights.
