    Mostly thinking out loud, but..

    I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is, to some degree, a scam. I would dearly love to see a big book chock full of numbers from a car insurance provider showing how their weightings and costings work out.

    I've a mate who works in Quinn who claims that while women have about THREE TIMES as many claims as men do, they rarely exceed a few thousand euro - and that the five and six figure claims are legitimately nearly always <25 year old men. Although not always in the kind of car they load heavily.

    I'd suspect the fact that women usually learn to drive later is a big enough factor in this though. If as many 17 year old girls as boys had cars we'd have "she drives, he dies" campaigns and insane insurance for women too. Most of my male friends had cars when 17/18/19, most of the girls are only learning to drive now they're 22/23...

    Where is the driver in the Rathfarnham picture? Did she just head off and do the shopping anyway? ;)

    If she thought the car was in reverse, you could assume the car was stationary (ish). If so, and the car was actually in 4th gear, it would not have had any acceleration and probably would have stalled.

    It's possible she thought it was in reverse and it was actually in 1st gear or something... and the newspaper got it wrong... (In fact it's possible it was there as an art exhibition and the newspaper got it wrong!)
