Prosecute women motorists for driving too slowly, says 'Mr Loophole' celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman | Mail Online
Mr Loophole wants female drivers who drive too slow on Motorways prosecuted.
From my own experience, It's the women who drive faster than the men on Motorways although once approaching the school next door to my house to collect children from school, they seem to lose all ability to drive, park and reverse.
What about the pensioners like my dear late Father who drove at 20 MPH ? And the entire population of Worthing It seems.

In past life, I drove a tow truck for a company that towed cars for the police department. We would be called out to clean up after accidents.
70% of the accidents on the Expressway (Motor way, for you Brits) were young women who were driving too fast, and rear ended stopped cars.
Most "elderly women" that I know stay off the expressway, because 1) they are not in THAT big a hurry, and 2) people are going too fast.
Most of the people going too slow are elderly men trying to keep up, or tourists who are lost and trying to find the way off the damned highway.
I don't disagree with the idea of prosecuting slow drivers, but don't think picking on the women is a good idea.

Was being wary of passing a cyclist with a plastic shopping bag on the handlebars who was weaving about a bit, on passing I realised he was weaving because he was trying to light a cigarette while cycling along. Who says stupidity is confined to car drivers?
As to this pillock, i have no sympathy for someone that gets done four times in a short enough space of time to lose his licence. I need a licence to work as well and let's face it if you don't see the policeman in the yellow jackets pointing a camera or the big van with a camera sticking out the back window or the big grey box with white lines on the road you probably aren't paying enough attention in the first place.
Want to know what I think about idiots tailgating me when I am sitting at 70 and passing a line of cars or prats that pass in stupid places and you have to brake to let them in so you don't get involved in a pile up.

Lately I have had two horrendous experiences and not by women drivers on motorways. They are the least of my worries.
The first was a few months ago when I was on the main road through our village and suddenly appearing before me round a corner was a ******** of a skateboard. We slowed right up but he was weaving about In the main road at quite some speed. As we took another corner, he lost control and fell off. He landed literally an Inch from our car. If he had fallen the other way, even at the slow speed we were doing, he would have gone under the wheels... Then he got up as shook his fist at me as we drove around him.
The other was four nights ago when we pulled out of a car park around 10 pm at night. A kid about 14 years old just appeared from no-where. Anyone else would have heeded the headlights of our car pulling out and braked but this kid had no lights and no brakes on his bike. He was cycling on the pavement like this at speed and just appeared In front of us as we pulled out. If we had been pulling out any faster we would have hit him and with no helmet either, would have probably have killed him. As It was, we slammed on the brakes and he went up the arsse of a parked car around the corner denting the car. My first reaction to be honest was to swear at him through the open window because It was just such a shock but then got out to make sure he was alright. He just got back on his bike and rode off. Then we had to call on the house where the car was outside and tell them what happened. They were really good about It and accepted we were no way to blame but It really shook us up.
