If the little plastic piece that holds in the tag light isn't broken, you should send it to me

Mine's broken and looks like a serrated knife.

Well this thread has been quite entertaining. Cell phone use laws have been passed in quite a few states now. In NY they enforce it pretty well but here in GA it's not enforced and the law has an age stereotype attached to it. "Teenagers" texting and driving or on the phone are who they go for. What about the mom on the phone also screaming at the rascals in the backseat? That just doubled the risk right there. So around here they're going to profile you on your age. So stupid. I'm 19 and constantly have my phone in my hand when I'm at work. That's because I'm a delivery guy and use the GPS on the phone. Not texting. I always hope I got stopped so I could give the cop crap about profiling me. Go get the girl behind me I see putting on her makeup and not wearing a seatbelt because it wrinkles her clothes. Sorry Tanner, nothing against you since you seem to be a great driver

I completely agree that us men are more reckless and women just don't pay attention though.

I wonder if there are statistics somewhere that list % of accidents caused by women vs men to validate my experiences.

There's a University of Michigan study proving this.

That's a rather academic point.

The old red car syndrome! I had a red car once and people kept trying to crash into me. Got rid of it and everything returned to normal.

My favorite quote out of this is, "But besides being shorter, women may also have some brain differences that work against them. Some studies show men are better able to perceive time and speed and can more easily rotate 3-D figures in their brains, skills which are helpful enough to overcome other risky behaviors behind the wheel."

Those skills translate into more than just driving. It might also explain why there are far more male pilots, machine operators, engineers, and architects.

And I'm not even biased on this. My cousin Simona is an engineer herself.
