I'd be careful Sid. Saying things like that could land you in very hot water indeed. I know quite a number of very good lady drivers and riders - I've even coached a few in the art of Advanced Motorcycling - and, from a safety perspective they are probably better than a lot of men. I have been known to half-jokingly remark that there are two types of women driver - very good and damned awful - with very few in between.
There comes a time when a driver is too old to drive safely. Unfortunately everyone is different and "that time" can, and does, vary considerably. There are a few 80+ ladies and gents out there that are as safe as houses. Conversely there are a few 40-year-olds I wouldn't trust with a Dinky Toy.
I just hope, for the sake of other road users, that I will be wise enough to recognise the point when I am no longer safe on the road.
