In fact you will find that most women will give their car a name and talk about it as if it were a real person.

Personally, have never considered a car just for getting from 'A >>B', well, yes, but only chose one for the needs I had at the time, etc. Have done the Jaguar S ... but really don't need this type of car anymore, as retired (well, at the moment) will probably look to de-size shortly.

Never, ever named a car in my life or decorated it with stuffed toys and swinging dice ... is there to serve a focused purpose.

Must admit, rather surprised by most of our gentlemen's comments on this thread ... thought you may have agreed with Archiveuk but, no, you haven't .. thanks fellas ... x

I don't know if it's just women. There have been times I have given my car a name (tho' I can't mention the kinds of names I have given it) and talked about it, or more usually screamed at it as if it were a real person. This usually happens on frigid winter mornings when it refuses to crank over.

I have always given cars a name!

My first car was called Kon and my Dad said I was conned!

My last car was called "shed" (and beleive me, it was!!)

And I personally (and many others for that matter) think that I am a good driver, not very hesitant but its impatient drivers (usually men) that get up my nose, obviously they are willing to risk there life say at a roundabout but i wait for what i feel is a comfortable opening and not have to make the oncoming vehicle brake at me pulling out on them. The worst driver that I know of is my ex husband, he even scares me and normally im a very good passenger. I have people that will back me up on my choice of worst driver ever lol am very suprised that he has not been in a serious accident recently

There are inverted triangles at mini roundabouts??? I havnt seen one, the real rule at a mini roundabout is give way to traffic from the right, seems half of drivers dont know and hesitate, and that isnt just women! Even though many women dont know thier left from thier right! Go on lads, ask your partner which is left, they either raise both hands or work it out!

To determine if someone knows their left hand from their right I ask them which hand do they wipe their bum with.

Invariably one hand will be raised to which I reply, “Ugh! I use paper!”

Shouldn't that be "give way to traffic from the left"

.... Oh, I forgot, you guys drive on the wrong side of the road

Left and right confusion is just as much a Man thing.

My late husband had a problem with left -v- right. I used to tell him, "You write with your right hand", but it didn't help. If I was driving and he was giving directions I would say, "My side of the car or yours?" It was the only way to avoid complete detours of many, many miles.
