Female drivers

[Slargos]

You lot, and admittedly most of Norwegian society regularly complain about my inability to conform to Norwegian norms in traffic.

However, while I sometimes drive faster than is strictly legal, at least I do so in a safe fashion unlike this lady driver...



Story goes like this:

- Lorry runs over 13 year old girl on bike.
- Woman in car behind also runs over 13 year old girl, now on pavement.
- Woman drives for 2.8km before parking her car and being overtaken by the police 15 minutes after the accident.
- 13 year old girl was stuck under Woman's car for those 2.8km.

Now, when this story first broke there was of course no news of the gender of the driver who dragged a person under her car for 2.8 km without noticing that she had A) hit something or B) was dragging something under her car.

Me, being prejudiced, naturally assumed "well, this is clearly a female driver" and lo and behold...

Is it still prejudice if it's always right?

Story doesn't say, but I assume from the picture that the bitch actually didn't realize what she'd done until she got home.

What happened to the girl?

[Slargos]

What happened to the girl?

Apparently alive with "serious injuries". Pretty lucky.

[The Brain]

No offense Slarg, but I think the dragging the girl under the car thing is much worse than being a female driver. I am not trying to belittle your hatred but maybe you should try to stand back and see the bigger picture.

Of course, one can also find stories of older male drivers who had pedestrians in someway another stuck to their car without noticing.

[Slargos]

Hooooboy. Story is unfolding.

Apparently, it was more like 4kms, and there were several speedbumps along the way.

And it wasn't 15 minutes, it was 50.

Apparently, they had helicopters and canine patrols out looking for her, and eventually found her stuck under the parked car.

What a frigging horror show for that girl that was the accident victim!   

Hopefully unconscious, but the injuries from being dragged along pavement would be severe, in addition to other injuries she has.

[Martinus]

Yeah, it clearly sounds like a female driver. A male driver would have been drunk.

[Slargos]

Hopefully unconscious, but the injuries from being dragged along pavement would be severe, in addition to other injuries she has.

And that's the final kicker. She was conscious when they found her. Apparently with "life threatening" injuries though hospital says she's stable, for whatever that's worth in her condition.

I wonder what the next Slargos update will be.  Maybe she was attacked by a pack of vicious pit bulls while she was stuck under the car for those 50 minutes.

A moose bit her sister.

Why couldn't Helen Keller drive?

Too dumb to pass the test.

Her putting wasn't that great either.
