    That could easily be Wahangarei. We had one lose it and drove 100m up the footpath at speed the other day. Right through a busy shopping center- it was a wonder nobody was killed.

      But as the article points out, one isn’t allowed to mention the driver’s gender……
      Gecko just watched that and was laughing her head off, saying we’d seen similar situations again and again in our travels.

    My missus won’t reverse down our short driveway after shopping ( makes it easier to get the groceries from the hatch to the house ) or drive my car .

    The video makes an excellent case for computer controlled, driverless cars. heh :?: :mrgreen:

    Well…just as long as you don’t allow a female to program the computer. :mrgreen:

      Henry Hogg. Appropriate name. This is Wainui normal after all. They should claim its a Muslim requirement and get off that way.

      Years ago my oldest brother was driving truck OTR and was headed north around Atlanta on I-285.

      5:30 in the morning,60 mph in traffic all of the sudden he sees everybody in front of him make a dash for the lane either side and there in the middle is a woman changing a flat tire in the middle of three lanes of expressway traffic in the dark :shock:

      He locked the brakes up,managed to keep his rig from jackknifing and got it stopped with about 20 feet to spare.After he quit cursing he flipped his flashers on.By that time a metro-Atlanta cop had seen the action and arrived on the scene.He flagged traffic while my brother changed the woman’s tire and got her off the road.

      About a week later he gets called into the office by his dispatcher(he’s thinking what now?) and it turned out the woman had remembered his truck number and called the company to thank him.The company gave him a commendation and a $100 steak dinner at Morton’s so it was all good http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_cool.gif

        I wonder if she got a ticket? And good on your brother.

          I don’t think so,she simply panicked hearing the rumble from the tire that went square and didn’t think to get off the road. My brother told her next time just hit the flashers,reduce speed, get over to the breakdown lane and for that matter just ride the rim until the next exit.

          Heck I rode a wheel rim for 10 miles once to get off a bridge and it was nowhere near the brake rotor when I stopped.

      Another Ronbo, “I told you so.”

      In the late 1970s when Carter was president, the Army and Marines were ordered to do the same thing with the same results…99% of women can’t pass the physical requirements and the training necessary for the combat arms – armor, artillery and infantry…not to mention special ops.

      …not that there will be many female volunteers for field duty. :mrgreen:

        Maybe it’ll be like the Navy, where large numbers deliberately get pregnant to avoid deployment. :twisted:

          Did you see the ones in the picture?I think they joined the military because they couldn’t find anybody brave or blind enough to get them pregnant.That’s a rough lookin bunch that is :mrgreen:
