We found this great comedy insurance advert for women drivers.

We especially like the allowances for: ‘giving your car a name’, ‘driving in heels’, and ‘concentrating too hard to be polite.’

There’s bound to be a male equivalent advert out there somewhere, so if you see one, please email it in!

A further collection of funnies that tickled us, have a read and see what you think:

Judge: ‘But if you saw the woman driving towards you, why didn’t you give her half the road?’
Male Driver: ‘I was going to, Your Honour, as soon as I could find out which half she wanted.’

A lady driver was passing through a built-up area at about 60 mph when she noticed a motorcycle cop on her tail. She accelerated to to 80 mph but he stuck doggedly to her tail. She really put her foot down and pushed the car up to 90 mph, drawing rapidly away from the policeman. Suddenly she spotted a filling station ahead and slammed on the brakes. she stopped on the forecourt and ran into the womens toilets. 5 mins later she came out to see the police officer still waiting for her. With a polite smile she said, ‘I bet you thought I wouldn’t make it in time!’

So there’s been a flood. There’s water all around, and there’s no way of telling how deep it is. Luckily this woman found a solution to discovering the depth of the water, by driving her car straight into it, much to the amusement of the watching crowd. Maybe she thought she had a James Bond style underwater car, who knows?

To add insult to injury, she then decides that, despite the fact that the car managed to sink into this huge waterhole, that she would still be able to walk across it, seems like the concept that the water might be rather deep still has not entered her mind, even though she’s just watched her car sink.

Well Worth a watch, take a look below:

The British advertisers for the new Mazda 2 have clearly aimed this particular advert directly at women and cleverly got on the side of the target audience, showing just how well women can actually park and have also come up with a pretty nifty stunt to illustrate the point,they have even managed to add a sense of humour too, well worth taking a look below.

(We don’t know if the actual stunt driver for the commercial was a woman, but we hope so!)

Reading the article, it’s the first few paragraphs that hammer the point home, and shows the stereotypical view of women drivers, that was accepted seriously at the time, but can be looked at in a more tongue-in-cheek manner now.

To quote from the article:

“More and more men drivers are realizing the importance of using the correct oil in their cars. To their wives who drive the cars during the week, the importance of scientific lubrication is even greater.

Driving problems, bothersome enough for men drivers, become more serious when a woman is at the wheel… ”

The article goes on to describe “Driving problems that bother women.” such as “Engine is difficult to start” and “gears have to be shifted in hills and traffic“.

It’s an advertising piece clearly directed at men, that it would simply not be possible to get away with any more, but thankfully worth a laugh at now, just to show how far we’ve come (or not, judging by some of the videos on this site!)

The survey of 4,200 drivers: 1428 men and 2772 women appears to back up anecdotal evidence that women have a blind spot when it comes to reversing into a parking space.

75% admit that backing into a space is at times too difficult even when there is sufficient room and more than one in five confess they are hopeless at the manoeuvre under any conditions.

That compares with just nine per cent of men who admit they are inept at parallel parking reversing into a space next to the kerb – and half who are sometimes defeated by an adequate space.

A separate US survey commissioned by car firm Ford found that 35% of women avoid parallel parking whenever possible.

Almost one in three women – 28 per cent – admit persuading another driver to park for them compared to just 12 per cent of men.

And 47 per cent have left their car at an awkward angle to the kerb compared to only 39 per cent of men.

“There is a definite difference between genders and their attitude to parking,” said the firm’s managing director Brian Martin.

“Some people claim that generally women are not so spatially aware as men. This would certainly play a part in being able to park comfortably.

“The women we questioned were far more willing to admit they have trouble doing it. Nearly three times as many women say they’ve been unable to park.”

75~% of female respondents said parking is more difficult when being watched by someone else compared to just 47% of men who get stage fright at the wheel.

81% of women surveyed get flustered when another motorist stops to wait for them whereas just 56%of men find it stressful.

The research is backed up by the firm’s claims records that show that more women are involved in car park collisions – 56 per cent of claimants in the past 12 months are female compared with 44 per cent male.

“Our research shows just what a problem many motorists have with parallel parking. It’s something most people don’t like to admit – especially men,” said Mr Martin.

The survey also revealed that 56% overall have had a parking space ‘stolen’ by another driver as they dithered over manoeuvring and that parking problems cause many motorists to become angry and frustrated.

20% frequently get angry when unable to find a space and 17% have got into an argument with another driver over a free space.

Policeman: ‘When I saw you coming round that bend I thought, “Forty-five at least”.’
Woman driver: ‘Well, I always look older in this hat.’

Wife: “There’s trouble with the car. It has water in the carburettor.”
Husband: “Water in the carburettor? That’s plain daft.”
Wife: “I’m telling you the car has water in the carburettor.”
Husband: “Don’t be silly, You don’t even know what a carburettor is. Where’s the car?”
Wife: “In next door’s swimming pool.”

One liner: “We bumped into some old friends yesterday, my wife was driving.”

One liner II: “Nothing confuses a man more than a woman driver who does everything right.”
