Women cause 40% of Saudi road accidents

 

Women cause nearly 40 per cent of the road accidents in Saudi Arabia although they are not allowed to drive, a traffic police chief was quoted on Sunday as saying.

“Women are the cause of about 40 per cent of the traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia. Other main reasons are children, speeding and failure to use the seat belt,” said Colonel Bandar Al Harbi, director of the traffic department in the Northwestern Hail city.

Harbi did not make clear how women cause such accidents while they are banned from driving in the conservative Gulf Kingdom.

‘Okaz’ newspaper, which carried the report, indicated that Harbi meant they are an indirect cause including their chatting with drivers or motorists’ staring at them.

This is interesting… So , how about coming up with some reasons of our own

Picture this scenario: The beloved misses the fly on the nose which I am sure she would and lands up giving a smack to the driver. Then as a compensation and to sooth the pain, she gives him a hot kiss. That would definitely cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and it would be the woman's fault for causing an accident to take place!

Even if it's men who cause 100 % of the accidents ..... but still they are born to them ...... so it's not difficult to comprehend who is at fault .......................... ..........

Women cause 100% of all road accidents. Men only drive because there is a woman behind or ahead of them. In any case, it's the women's fault.

Picture the scenario: You're driving along with your beloved. She is not strapped in. She sees a fly on your nose. Suddenly, without a belt to restrain her, she tries to swat the fly and causes you to lose control of the vehicle.

Errrm how does this even make sense?. Failure to use seatbelt causes accidents?. So men cause 60% of the accidents.

If women do not drive, men would cause 100% accidents
