Slow women drivers?

Even in this day and age we women still have to put up with jokes about our poor driving, but when they come from the mouth of a professional person like a lawyer it is particularly irritating and quite shocking.

Nick Freeman, a celebrity defence lawyer who deals with traffic and speeding offences recently said the following:

“Speed does not kill. Bad driving does, and that includes going too slowly and being in the wrong lane.

“Why can't these women be prosecuted? Oops, I mean why don't the police start to prosecute this kind of unlawful driving?”

Hilarious Mr Freeman.

The head of road safety at the AA however, stated, without entering into juvenile quips about male and female motorists’ skills, “A lot of bad driving does involve speed. We can't criticise people for being slow drivers.”

Andrew Howard, we thank you for your balanced outlook on road speeds.

Obviously, driving at 30mph on a motorway could be dangerous, but if anyone feels uncomfortable about driving at 70mph and would rather stay at 60mph in the left lane then that’s up to them I think.
