The best "woman driver" story I've heard was .....
Brother of the bloke across the road from us was driving along the main road early one morning on his way to work - 5ish. Woman driver emerged from a side road straight into the passenger side of his car. She gets out and says "Sorry! I didn't look .... there's normally no one else on the road at this time of the morning!"  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?

Hate to say it, but only had blokes crash in to me (touch wood)

Once a tranny van drove out of a shell garage as i was passing (in my 4 day old car grrrrrr)
2nd didn't like his own brakes, so used mine!
Was a very unlucky car that Astra, 3 crashes in 6 months.
Annoying thing was I wanted a metalic green one, mrs said, you cant have green, they are unlucky, so got red instead.
Never have let her forget that one ;)  Still see it round and about occasionally.

Ive said this before but my wife is useless at parking, she uses the bumpers to tell her how far forward and backwards she can go and the wheels to let her know when shes close to the kerb :o thats why if were out in the Omega I park it. But will say in her defence any other kind of driving she is very good and I feel comfy to let her drive me anywhere, she also passed a Cheshire police driving test with flying colours but I said that was because of the short skirt she had on ;D
