Risky stuff, driving a car.
"Women drivers are three times more likely than men to suffer whiplash
injuries if their car is hit from behind, Swedish researchers say.
Women's risk is increased because they generally sit closer to the
steering wheel, the Umea University team said having studied data on
400 injuries..."

> Risky stuff, driving a car.
I have repeatedly asked you to explain how the drivers of the HGVs which
forward your imported food when it lands in the UK are supposed to get to
work at 2 a.m., other than by car.
So far you have been too spineless to answer this. Perhaps you might wish to
rectify your inadequacy here and answer this one simple question?
Perhaps you might wish to do that before starting any new threads, just in
case people might think that you have no answer to the question?
Feel free to duck it though, as your refusal to answer is an answer in
itself.

Shouldn't bother you then, since you *claim* not to drive them.

They're still safer than riding a bike.

Women are safer than riding a bike? Yet they get whiplash from being
shunted from the rear?

Either that's an interesting concept or I'm thoroughly confused. How do
you shunt a woman from the rear?

You are assuming he has a licence or indeed ever had one.

You really are desparate, aren't you, to make something of any story
relating to motoring. Why is it risky? There's nothing there saying that
driving is inherently risky. Being rear-ended is not an every day occurrence
for most people, so to say that category A of people are more likely to be
injured than category B for something which isn't very likely anyway,
doesn't actually say very much at all.
