Therese Smith smashed into the office's waiting room, injuring 11 people. It is thought she was moving out of her parking space but accelerated too hard, propelling her through an outside wall. The accident was caught on surveillance camera and shows people rushing up to Ms Smith who was still buckled in her seat belt. No-one was seriously hurt. <!-- E SF --> The videotape also shows a man in a Superman costume walking around the car, but he did not stop to help the driver or any of the victims. His identity is unknown. <!-- E BO --> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Very very funny. The missus is giving me funny looks as I just spat my drink over the keyboard with laughing. Cheers, Adam.
This isn't a case of "women drivers" per se but allowing the living dead to operate an automobile. As a personal reminese, years ago while at Nuclear Power School in the Navy I took a classmate down to traffic court in Florida for a ticket. One of the cases before his was that of a 86 year old lady who had been stopped at a traffic light. She was on the inside of three lanes of traffic. She decided that her Cadillac needed gas so she put on her turn signal for a right turn and when the light went green proceeded to turn into the two lanes of traffic between her and the gas station across the intersection on the right hand side of the road. In making this rather unorthodox maneuver she ran over the motorcyclist in the middle lane of traffic trapping him and his bike under her car. The only reason she stopped short of the pumps was his bike had lifted the rear wheels off the ground sufficently to stop momentum. Her defense to the judge was that she had put on her turn signal and that the motorcyclist should have known she was making a right turn and gotten out of her way! The judge took her licsense. She in turn became very indignant and rather ugly. It was darkly humorous from where I sat to see this one going on.....still remember it after all these years. Another case of the living dead driving.
Apparently it's not a new phenomenon. Rich (who never misses any opportunity to post a picture of a WD motorcycle, especially if it's a Norton )

And are you telling me, on ungritted paths/roads, you haven't found the bike sliding from under you, cos I did as a teenager.
Don't get me started Kitty, I can fall off them on dry surfaces as well. If they won't slide then I'll go over the bars or off the back ! I think that we approached this picture with alternative gender biases because I saw an ATS driver who ran over a poor bloody motorcyclist and then called her mate in the CMP to give her side of the story before they pulled him out of the ditch.

I get an itchy finger when that advert comes on. Index finger, right hand.... amputation would sort it B)
Nice Tilly! I believe they are in fact ladies of the world famous women's auxiliary balloon corps fresh from the 'Margaret learning to smoke' incident. As ever, "It's a man's life in the Women's Auxiliary balloon Corps".
The lass on the right is wearing riding gauntlets. I think she was the one hit. Ran 'im off the road an' stole 'is gloves...The cow !
