Default Sheilas Wheels womens car insurance advert

What a load of shit.

One line says 'women make the better drivers' - righto.

Most blokes stay out of their bloody way that's why so yeah, women may end up with 800 years no claims but they've caused 8000 accidents and were oblivious to all of them !!!!

How comes they can have women only car insurance (Sheilas Wheels, Diamond) but if WE wanted a men only car inurance firm that'd be sexist ??!!

Grrr...........

Women only make better drivers on paper because they don't drive as much as men.

Couple in the car, who drives? The man 9 times out of 10.

A recent study showed Women actually have more accidents per mile driven than men but men's accidents tend to be more expensive because when we crash, we do it properly

Aye, and the majority of women drive little shopping trolleys that are not quick enough to get into any serious trouble. If a woman has a smash it won't be as bad as her car won't be that quick

*cough*

Hands up who has kept her cossie on the road for five years when all the men around her have wrapped theirs.

*Cola waves hand in air... and touches wood*

So big fat bananas to you all. From my experience most of the lads I know have lost it showing off or dicking about. Where now, after losing a fair few cars in my youth that way, I am now older and wiser.

Men don't seem to learn from experience though...

its just marketing tosh to make girls think they are getting a better deal

diamond = admiral
elephant = admiral

its just aiming your business at different markets

eg admiral want you to think that by shopping online with everything looking cute and your getting a beter deal hence elephant.co.uk, or your a chick and your far superior to men so go with diamond

no different than THE PRUDENTIAL marketing EGG as the be all of internet banking, or HSBC touting FIRST DIRECT just the same big compainies trying different ways to conn our money out of us

It's the principle - why specifically for women ? Why not do something specifically for men ? Bet the accident rate would go down......... cue slagging.............

There is actually a 'men-only' insurer advertising as well somewhere, but as above, it doesnt actually make any difference.

Just got in from the local shops, after having a tiff with a woman in the car park (well her getting all stressed and stroppy and swearing at me) (that another thing why do women do that, only takes them to do it to the wrong person and well they'd soon be moaning if they copped a right hander, just lucky for most, most blokes are better controlled) was on my way out and went round a corner to be confronted by said woman comming the other way screeching to a stop when she saw me, she started gesturing for me to back up, which wasnt gonna happen in my car round the corners and cars (only just fits forwards without taking a wall down) , so I gesture while moving forward for her to reverse, (in the situation it was my right of way due to distance travelled), just kept creeping forward as far as i could but still not enough room to swing by her, she sits beeping and getting more irrate, she then seems to think she aint going any further, so i just switch my car off get out go to boot and get out my dog rolls i just bought, no rush for me , so on seeing that she puts her car in reverse and spins it off out of my way in reverse
Get back in my car and progress forwards, as she goes past, she winds window down and calls me an arrogant cnut and tells me its NOT ONE WAY, Oh aint it why do all the signs and road markings say it is then


BUT actually biologicaly and scientifically it was proven on a program i saw on tv that woman dont make such good drivers, they havent got certain skills, the more feminen they are the worse a driver they make, (they done loadsa tests to see biologicaly how masculine they were, and conversly how feminen the blokes were) but basically had six blokes against six women, the blokes took the first five spots then 1 woman then the last bloke, he was leading at one point, but had mega testorone increases and took silly risks and spun, but still managed to only be beaten by the one woman, another lap and aho knows , wasnt just driving they did some JCB skills tests was painfully funny to watch the woman, just couldnt do it.

NOT saying there arent some good women drivers out there, but YOU/THEY are biologicaly MASCULINE

(best just add this is the view of the program and not myself )
