HERE WE GO AGAIN !!!

Just heard an advert from the RSA on phantom 105.2

Women talking about men drivers as per fucking usual.

"we women suffer because of male driving!"

"women die because of men"

"he drives, she dies"

http://www.rsa.ie/RSA/Road-Safety/Campaigns/Current-road-safety-campaigns/He-drives-she-dies/

This is the biggest sexist crap i've heard AGAIN !

a load of bull shit is what it is !

OldmanMondeo · 19-07-2010 01:37PM

Hmmm change the station!

smash · 19-07-2010 01:39PM

i don't think I know 1 woman that pays a high insurance premium....

It should be, he buys she drives.

19-07-2010 01:43PM

That add is running for ages. If ladies refused to give head while chaps were driving that would prevent an accident or two

phasers · 19-07-2010 01:47PM

They should run an ad saying "He wouldn't have to drive if you fcuking offered for once"

metzengerstein · 19-07-2010 01:47PM

have to agree

ive come accross alot of extremely bad women drivers in my time.some who even when coming out of a turn think they only have to look one way,and alot of girl racers out there too ,just as bad as any boyracer ,i would say its some people in general are bad drivers but its typical of irish people to discriminate once they hear of one person of a certain job or gender doing something wrong they all must be like that ..wake up

yes one taxi driver may have cut you off ,how does that mean they are all p***ks ,one male driver may have had an accident and drive like a tool ,still doesnt mean all male drivers are like that, when will ireland wake up and stop being such a stupid country.

keithclancy · 19-07-2010 01:57PM

I did a quick google and found this article ....

http://car-insurance-news.com/auto-insurance-women-drivers-auto-insurance-for-women.html

WTF

:eek::pac:

BeardyGit · 19-07-2010 02:02PM

I switched over from Phantom to another station yesterday because I heard that advert being played. It makes my blood boil.

metzengerstein · 19-07-2010 02:27PM

maybe we shoud turn this around on the rsa and government for haveing a disgracefull motoring education and system ,blame the road death tolls on them ,im sick of being put in a class of something that im not

Onearmedbandit · 19-07-2010 03:32PM

This was out a while ago and I complained to the RSA about the sexist undertone throughout the advertisement. I just got a standard PFO letter saying that their statistics back up the advertisement. Pisses me right off hearing it and I am sure only gives insurance companies more leeway to hike up male premiums.

What, exactly, is incorrect about what is being said in the advertisement?

19-07-2010 03:43PM

Nothing incorrect, she drives he dies is correct too in many cases, why not run that in an add ?

smash · 19-07-2010 03:52PM

I'd really like to see more stats about these cases they're mentioning where women passengers were killed.

• In how many of the accidents did the women wear their seatbelt?
• In how many of these accidents did the woman have a license so she could have driven instead?
• Who owned the car that was crashed? - You'll find that even when it's the woman's car, she'll always ask the male to drive.

But most importantly:

What were the causes of the accidents?

Stevie Dakota · 19-07-2010 03:53PM

Why is everyone getting worked up? Most of the time when I have been overtaken in a crazy place, or tailgated, or put in any kind of danger, it was a man at the wheel. I often drove like an idiot when I was young, and I bet most of you lads did too.

While I am often amazed at how inattentive women drivers can be, I don't think I've ever been put in danger by one.

I find the concept quite believable, never mind that they say they have statistics to back it up.

Eric Cartman · 19-07-2010 03:53PM

i just dont get in a car with a woman driver anymore, far too dangerous , and i know a lot of my mates are the same, that campaign is there because HE drives all the time , why let a woman drive if you have a man there

19-07-2010 03:56PM

I've seen plenty of bad "multitask" women drivers where's the ad for them :rolleyes:

stevenmu · 19-07-2010 03:56PM

I would suggest a small change to campaign:

or perhaps even:

NO we don't nor did we and thats the fecking point we're trying to get across !

i'm 18 with a full license and rarely drive and when i do i obey all speed limits and drive under them. I never do anything wrong.

um7y1h83ge06nx · 19-07-2010 03:58PM

I don't really respect the RSA because they talk down to me.

I'm a guy in his late 20's that is above average intelligent and would like them to be a bit more frank and mature than they are. I believe (particularly from this forum) that a lot of other guys get annoyed by this approach and completely ignore the RSA and their messages which obviously isn't good.

Yes RSA, I'm a male in my 20's therefore I am as thick as sh*t.

The Floyd p · 19-07-2010 03:59PM

Absolutely stupid ad.

Because instead of tackling dangerous and idiotic driving directly, they are wasting resources by generalising and scapegoating.

Did the woman passenger cause the accident, ie. fighting with the driver, I've seen plenty of couples rowing in the car while driving.

If it was the other way around being sexist towards women there would be fcukin war.:mad:

biko · 19-07-2010 04:08PM

Been discussed to fecking death already but sure that was months ago.

Anan1 · 19-07-2010 04:08PM

The statistics on that page are either completely incorrect or pretty damning for young males.

The ad campaign started up again the other day after being finished last year.

and its still a fecking disgrace.

a think a few letter of complaints are in order.

Yakult · 19-07-2010 04:29PM

I just couldnt care anymore about those childish ads, once I drive safely they can say wtf they want and then stick it up their hole.

Rsa really needs a good kicking tbh.

SilverBell · 19-07-2010 04:30PM

Does anyone notice any group way out in front in this graph? No, they all seem about the same..... oh..... wait a minute, it seems to be the....... oh let me see, why yes its the male 17-24 category.

Buy you guys have no need to be so angry. It is clear from the RSA page that they are just targetting the bad drivers who take girls as passengers. You guys, who are good drivers, above average intelligent (sic) and who "never do anything wrong" have nothing to be getting worked up about.:pac:
