No, not at all. As I mentioned in a prior post, a few pages back, if the OP wanted to address a safety issue then the sex of the drivers is irrelevant (and the claim was only based on their observations...maybe not careful ones and, perhaps, biased ones) then purely the issues of safety and consideration should have been stated.

Given I haven't noticed another post from the OP on this long thread, I can't help but, wonder whether the actual intent wasn't sexist in nature. Why not come back on to describe WHY the OP believes pointing-out the sex of drivers is more relevant than discussing specific enhanced safety ideas, etc? See what I mean? It's highly possible that what the OP observed was the same 2 or 3 women who comprised more than 50% of their observances. If so, then that discredits the original claim to begin with - and what difference does the sex of the driver make anyhow? It doesn't. Better safety ought to be the conversational goal here. So, you see, the whole thread originated based on a sexist claim.
