The common stereotype that woman drivers are less capable than their male counterparts probably persists thanks to the existence of images like these:
Via Heaven.
































OH RUSSIA OH U
Kind of interesting how the last pictures made people forget about the whole rest of the thread. :P
interesting that they are almost all blonds
23 is amazing
False Blondes!!
la 24 ... un nissan 350z echado a la basura.... FUCK!!!!
Hard to believe that you could actually forget to pull the pump out of the tank before you drive off. Even harder to believe that the pump would break off the station after you drive off.
Wouldn't you notice an extremely loud grating sound as you drive?
In Norway, a woman managed to hit a girl riding across the street on her bike. She was stuck under the car for her entire 2 hour drive and the woman said that she never noticed.
All women should have their licenses rewoked, and they should only be allowed to get it back after completing the driver's exam again. And this time, their supervisor has to be gay.
Lol, now this is funny!
Corruption and bribery are widespread in Russia.
Nothing new in that.
Back to main topic. Women are usually good and careful drivers, but when they fail, it can become to something spectacular.
what did the woman in the motorcycle did wrong? Don't start a flame war please, I'm asking out of pure ignorance, which no amount of "google it!" can fix.
I think that she is badass riding the bike with heels.
The high heels.
Bonuspoints for unappropriate clothes.
I lold so hard with these pictures, I just wonder was she really driving the cycle, its imposible with high heels
No normal person would drive a motorbike with high heels.
but a woman just did. Record Breaker~!
unless ur a women xD
Let me put it this way. If I saw woman wearing heels on a motorcycle I'd make sure to steer clear of her.
noobs, she is behind a car when it is reversing!
not to mention she is in the blind spot
But is it right to reverse on driving lane? She`s only trying to evade that reversing van.
Her whole driving attire is of course failing.
* No body-protective gear (can you say, "road-rash"?). The same risk/penalty applies to guys riding motorcycles wearing jeans and t-shirts and tennis shoes.
* If she needs to put her foot down for balance while the bike is trying to go out-of-control (crash situation), that spike heel will snap off, or it will catch and break (break off?) her ankle/foot.
Bonus note: if you're not wearing full-body leathers, you should have sturdy boots, and jeans tucked inside the boots (so they don't catch in machinery).
Ralph voice "She is hurting the vehicle"
well she is riding without a leather jacket, so if she get in an accident she is road spagetti,and high heels not exactly safe riding footwear. but hey she has helmet
Not only the heels, but her entire attire is not suitable for riding a motorcycle.
yeah, people who rides bike should wear leather coat and pants in case they fell, it won't protect them from the impact but will protect them from having their skin scratched on the asphalt, not very pretty, got tons of friends riding on motorcycle, toke only one bad experience to teach them. Boots and helmets are obviously common sense.
Ask your local driving school.
well maybe it's not so much about the heels. maybe it's more about not driving behind someone who's trying to reverse.
clearly there are way too many females on sancon wtf
She has wrong kind of shoes, which can be risky when driving a MC. Bad control of pedals and so on.
And her other clothing is not enough for protecting her if accident happens.
Well, she is wearing a helmet, but that is not enough.
+1
Not only Russia, but we win :)
In Soviet Russia, money take you
wtf did that cop just do?
he took bribe and shove it under his belt
He was thinking they can't drive for shit, but i can sure ride them.
i lol'd
He got himself some money in return for being nice and telling her the way.
No, I'm sure he was rewarded for his concern to the young lady's safety.
Ya cops are notorious for taking bribes in Russia, but so are the Judges and every other official. Usually a cop knows when someone has sufficiently bribed their way or are connected they usually just warn the rich and well connected.
I can second that from firsthand experience.
It's so widespread, in fact, that it's simply the norm there. "That's just how it works". Some people who live there even argue it's better that way.
And before we civilized westerners get on our high horses, ask yourself whether it's really that different over here.
After all, what is "getting out on bail" if not officially sanctioned and legalized bribery? You have the money? Sure, you can get out till the next hearing. Don't have the money? In the holding cell you go.
How about some generous "donations" getting you better treatment or a bump in the waiting list in schools, colleges, and even hospitals?
And don't even get me started on political lobbying...
Hm. Responds to the problems in other countries with criticism of America, wonders aloud what's so wrong with a system of unofficially sanctioned bribery, makes mouth-noises about political lobbying being bad whilst making excuses for corruption...
You are the finest example of a Democrat I have ever seen.
But... I'm not a "Democrat", whatever that's even supposed to mean.
Nor am I in a habit of identifying myself with some group, adopting their opinions, and consequently developing an emotional attachment to defending their stance.
Instead, I simply have opinions. Sometimes they will happen to coincide with those of a particular group of people. And other times they'll coincide with some other group. Or not at all. Either way is fine by me.
You should try it some time. It's quite liberating. Plus you get to think for yourself, as an added bonus. Limited time offer. Only while supply lasts.
And, by the way, I wasn't defending corruption. At all. Nor was I bashing America (or the United States). Both bail and lobbying are concepts that are quite widespread in the western world as a whole.
My point was that it might be a good idea to clean our own pigsty before gloating over someone else's mess.
Edit:
Hell, I didn't even go that far. Gloat over their mess all you like. There's every reason to. Just don't forget about your own while you're at it.
You seem to not understand the concept of being released on bail if you are comparing it to a bribe to a cop that lets said briber go free.
Google basic concepts before trying to discus complex political and moral concepts.
Splat goes Splat
Of course they don't just get to walk free if they post bail. That was never implied (in fact I explicitly said "till the next hearing").
The point of the comparison is that such a system permits legal privileges to those who have enough money/capital. And that, in turn, is one of the main reasons bribery is considered bad.
Ideally, the law should treat everyone equally. It doesn't in this scenario.
I guess you're right. It'd be hard to make a bail, or fine system, that can put an equal burden on all no matter their financial standing.
I agree with Splat here. Most legal systems equate money to power to one degree or another. When stuff like bribes becomes commonplace, people start to call this corruption. It's above my head to call things right or wrong, but realizing that the same sort of thing is expressed in different ways all over the place is important if you want to make judgments on anything like this.
I also find #2 inexplicably funny.
Yes it can be interesting to discuss this politically, but can you please get your asses from here? No politics in Sankaku in heavy doses.
I recommend YouTube`s Michael Moore threads, in lobbying & bribery ones. Both conservatives and liberals can continue to yell to each other there.
This is a site for mainly Otaku interests, and like me a lot of us are NOT U.S. residents or citizens.
I am interested of U.S. politics too, but i can find that elsewhere. I am saying this to Splat and to conservative anon.
Neither am I. And I never said anything about the US. I was talking about western society versus eastern society. Western Europe versus Russia, to be precise. And this was relevant to the article/thread due to the bribery image/topic.
I'm not sure why Anon (or you, for that matter) brought the US into the picture.
I beg to differ.
There are all sorts of people here, for all sorts of reasons and with all sorts of interests.
We've had some very nice and lively discussions on politics and any number of other serious topics here. It's only relatively recently that comments have taken a heavier tendency towards the mundane. And I, for one, would like to see more of "the old Sankaku".
If you don't like serious topics, feel free to avoid them. They're quite easy to spot by the length of posts, after all. But don't go telling people they can't talk about something just because you're not interested in seeing that kind of discussion. That's rather adolescent, no?
I do like serious topics, but not in this kind of sites. Some minor political remarks are of course okay, but this is not the right place to drive campaigns. And i am NOT some right-wing bigot myself.
I don`t mean to silence U.S. politics here, this goes for other countries too.
If moderators in Sankaku think otherwise, they can tell it to us all.
If i`m wrong, i will take back what i have said of this.
One thing: i should not write "get your asses from here." It was too harsh language for this issue.
o
that cop is dead
really dead
camera has captured his face!
Sarah Palin was videotaping from her back yard again?
[Im]Palin fail
Not really. He'll just have to give his boss a share of bribes.
Besides, it is generally safe to assume most cops in Russia take bribes. At least, that is their reputation. So it's impossible to put all the bribe-taking cops in jail.
It`s common things for Russia. It`s really a strange place even without a bears. And mi, nobody cares (
The woman gave the cop her contact number. They're going to meet at a motel later.
well, there ya have it. many of the reasons where i refuse to drive... not cuz i suck, but becuz THEY suck
OMG
i have a low tolerance for drivers, ill start honking if:
1. idiot driver blocks ongoing traffic because they too stupid to move past the crosswalk because they are making a left turn.
2. idiot drivers making a left turn, miss more than 2 opportunities to go because they have no sense of distance of cars on the opposite lane.
3. idiot ppl busy doing god knows what when its a green light.
4. idiot ppl driving 15 mph when its green or no cars in front.
5. idiot ppl who dont signal a left n then brake suddenly n u become stuck behind them trying to get on the right lane where other ppl have enough time to react and you didn't.
6. the list goes on, and i swear i get angrier and angrier when i meet these drivers on the road, my tendency to honk has increased over the years to a point where i hardly tolerate bad drivers.
I can see where those are coming from, but it's a sign of early road rage.
You better be careful, one day you're going to honk someone as tightly wound and aggresive as yourself, they are going to overreact just like you are, and you'll be in a bad and possible dangerous situation.
if you were a better drive you won't be behind such people in the first place. Don't complain if you can't have the since to go around such people.
HONK HONK
Lol @ 6, that is some lazy mother...
and then they wonder why they get fat...-_-
They'll probably go and sue McDonald for making them fat.
Did he take a bribe or steal something from driving license in her purse ?
Huh, I'm surprised to see my homeland on Sankaku.
Dunno why but that problem exist in the whole world
I remember suddenly the girl who parks on a sidewalk...
ah...the many uses of ducktape~
oh i loled, even my mom loled, this is a epic post made of epic failures
can somone explain me what the heck is teh #18 doing?
I think she is holding a cigarette.
You show this site to your mother?! Seriously how fucked is that?!
she is used to it, she had 2 boys, so meh, also she didnt noticed the right side bar (eyes roll).
and this is the first time that i show this site to her too.
Woah... Do a presentation and go here by 'accident'...
I think hiding mature content should hide the right and left bars instead of the whole post. XD
MILF!!
She is attempting to stimulate the nozzle in the hope that it will become longer and ejaculate into the gas tank.
Pic #16 - Hurray for Czech women on roads! :D
Except for one all blondes... This ins't just a coincidance.
Stupid whores like to dye their hair blond.
the best one is the lady trying to pump gas from across the station. Classic
Pic #8: How the hell did a coupe overturn a tractor-trailor truck? I'm not sure that can be considered failure...
That's not a tractor-trailer truck, it is a Hummer H2 like in pic 003. Since it only weighs twice as much as her car, she only had to hit it twice as hard! XD
In a bit to their defense, some of these look shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my life, e.g. 13, 24, 25.
Is this kind of sentence a meme or something? Because i see it very often.
Yes it is : http://xkcd.com/331/
Regarding pic 19, There is a Subaru commercial playing on US television currently (also on Youtube, of course) that features a couple who are looking for a misplaced pair of sunglasses. After many miles of backtracking they finally locate the offending eyewear, _his_ eyewear, in the hood of his sweatshirt. Guys do dumb things in cars too, but women have raised this to an artform. Nice stuff Artefact.
picture 23 is a fake. The water does not reflect the car... or I'm just bird eyed :D
You know, not everything is photoshopped on the internet(kids these days...). I've seen a BMW jump a curb and screech it's tires to get away fast...
I thinks is fake too. The dock lines are loose when they should be taunt because the boat would be pushed out by the can. But can be 100% sure because you can't see the dock cleat and that line may have been untied.
Picking one at random No. 17 >_>....
You are only as safe as the dumbest driver you are sharing the road with.
I always say, the safest way to drive is assuming everyone is an idiot.
that means that other guy is assuming you're an idiot! The nerve of him.. let's RAM the fucker!!
lol, men may get in more accidents but women sure get in more epic ones. Though I agree, a handful do look shopped and with a few there is really no proof it was a woman behind the wheel. Just because a woman is standing in the picture doesn't mean she was the driver or the one who caused the accident. Still, most of these are either hilarious or just plain sad.
I just hate fail driving in general.
This is just lol. XD
HAH, now i has proof!
Great, sankakucomplex advanced to be another failblog copycat. Now that's what you call evolution.
that whore wrecked a 650i
Wow, I never realized how sophisticated Saudi Arabia's safety protocols were until now.
All americanes ITT will be arested and executed for their masculine shovinism!!!
ALL HAIL THE FREDOOOMM MWA-HA-HA!!!
I'm guessing most (if not all) of those women didn't pay for the car they smashed.
They are not merely " women", but a sub-category of female: Blonde.
80% are blonde lol
Most in those pics are bad dye jobs...
I hate driving. Maybe my XX chromosomes are the reason.
Anyway, why do women pay less in car insurance if women are worse drivers?
Misandry.
No need for sexism, both males and females are fucking retarded drivers
Well, it seems that the sexism (the stereotype that women are bad drivers) have scientific backing with regards to the spatial abilities of box genders.
Lulz at the 350Z trapped in mud. I don't even care wtf she was thinking (because it's questionable whether she was thinking at all).
hah, bribes.
ha, strollers+segways (that's a phonetic spelling...)
There almost all blonds??????
This stereotype is bullshit. Men are 70% more likely to do something retarded and die in a car accident. Go look it up.
Why should we go look anything up when you obviously didn't?
Well there is photographic evidence here showing in 100% of all pictures the women are at fault
That's why insurance companies rake us men over the coals when it comes to premiums. As a man, I must admit, I like to drive fast, drift, ride sportbikes and so on. Accident free? Sure... but I know it's risky.
This gallery shows that women crash cars too, people take pictures of women, and car crashes, and that Sankaku hates women if they're not 2D and naked, but that's not exactly a revelation.
Men get in to accidents because they drive drunk, aggressively, or too fast. Women get in to accidents because they are flighty, terrible at paying attention to what is going on, or are just unable to operate a vehicle with any degree of skill.
There are of course exceptions to both but after years of driving in various countries and areas it gets to be amusing to be able to tell the gender of a driver with a high amount of accuracy without seeing anything but the way their car is moving.
8 - Has to be shopped. Too little damage on the BMW for that hit.
14 - Front wheel drive...should have just driven forward.
24 - had she just hit is a little faster she would have made it
Although I agree with 14, let's see you try to get out of a mud in a rear wheel drive car...
Whats wrong with 12?
I'd like a pink vehicle too. Looks awesome and unusual enough people will remember if they see it; easier for the police to trace.
Google Nikki Catsouras for win.
sorry if i seem stupid but i don't get @ 1
The Bimmer or the bike?
I see one (or probably more) parental fail there..
This is what happens when you have no interest in cars, especially these drivers...
I mean, how do you get the WRX on a train track? Or the 350z in mud? And that Pink Hummer, I didn't know women were ricers too!
I cant help but notice that most of these women are blondes... I'm just saying.
All this reminded me of yesterday I almost got crashed by a stupid bitch in the Smart car. She was cutting from left lane to expressway exit few centimeters in front of my car when I was on right lane. I didn't have time to even switch my foot from gas to brake pedal, almost crapped my pants.
This is from 94 or earlier... really old.
Animenation went ahead with a funny and interesting note about a book about anal masturbation being the #1 sold manga this month.
What does anal masturbation have to do with car accidents???
Amazing.
Even their cars destroyed, they are still uninjured.
A girl drive = Danger!!!fatality!!!
17 and 20 pure simple but pure wins
That poor Z.
Women aren't half as bad as asians. Jesus Christ they are horrible drivers.
Really? cause from what i've seen on the latest poll and survey of car crashes and on-the-run chase car, it seems that it is nowhere Asia is somewhere on the top 3. In fact, they're at the bottom of the list. And guess what, America still holds the record breaker of failed safety driving.
lol that blond lady is more worried about her hair than her car that got flipped over
Idiot blondes. I hope they all kill themselves via their sheer stupidity.
whats even worse is these bloody stupid bints walk and push a pram or cart just as stupidly as they drive...
keep the fooking beyatches in the kitchen where they belong!
These poor cars... they deserved a chance at life... Why cant the owner just get out and jump in front of a bus themselves... save the machine spirit from the pain!
Sexism on Sankaku, as usual.
Move along folks.
See this is what happen when you don't practice in racing game and they think we are just trying to avoid them by playing all the times
Hey lol, girls play racing games too.
Favorite genre here, but I also love FPS games and survival horror.
I'm weird.
Woman are generally poorer at driving but men cause more accident than women due to reckless driving.
What a waste of good BWM's and 350z... it sucks when they don't appreciate the cars they are driving... :( in memory of my 1999 honda civic
Despite the stereotyping that women are less capable drivers...car insurance cost less for them than men =__=
This.
I would guess that means there are numbers to prove that women don't cause as many accidents as men do, then.
Keyword that you used in your own post: Stereotype. Meaning it doesn't apply to everyone in the group and probably doesn't even apply to the majority.
My last vehicle got written off because a woman broadsided it while running a red light.
Woman are horrible drivers and most of them lack any form of road courtesy.
what's wrong with 18? it looks like she's fitting the nozzle to fill up her gas tank.
Photo №2 I hope it smeared on the road
The Boat wins for me. How is that even possible? What did she do slam the pedal thinking she had the car in reverse? You don't realize you're going forward until you hop the dock.
It's cuz some people are bothered by a third pedal and a shift stick, thinking it's too much for them. Seriously, automatic transmission was only invented so people can eat their mcdonalds, facebook and put makeup/whatever at the same time...

pics 6, 17
EPIC FAIL
Never ceases to amaze me.
The woman with the Segway was win tho.
Until this, I thought women were the better drivers.
lol. That was funny. Really funny.
The lady in picture 009 with the upside down silver car was probably arguing with the car when the car kept telling her the 'door is a jar' and she kept saying it is not a jar it is a door till she was so flustered that she crashed.
lol most fotos is russian women) i'm living here, thats funny but a bit sad)
@the first picture: Hay, my dad did that before....
Sigh...this is why I try to stay off the roads.... I've seen guys drive just as poorly.
I think that men drive recklessly and get into accidents, women drive retardedly and get into accidents. Also, men take it like men and pay the fine. Women do bribes.
Stereotype? PULEASE FOR FUCKS SAKE!!. That is a well knows FACT that many woman's reflexes and logical judgement do NOT allow them to be successful drivers. They start panicking and lose control of the situation. To put it simply, the're too slow when it comes to reacting and judging the surroundings quickly.
I deeply respect womans who do not belong to the above, but at least here in Russia they are too few. And as you probably guessed, at least half of those pics are from Russia.
In Soviet russia, driving penalty avoids YOU.
All hail Russia!
Ignoring all the failed male drivers? Could have very well made a post with ridiculous driving pictures of everyone instead of perpetuating a serious social issue (sexism, that is).
In my country it's about the same for both sexes in the accident rates but women are clearly the crazier drivers here.
lol failcar
stop with this stupid women-bashing bullshit.
17th pic is epic. The last one is... sigh~~ Corruption...
she holding a cigarette in her left hand
My russian militia, shame on you.
