Ok, I have a vent. Maybe it’s just here in Texas, but I have noticed that most accidents I drive by involve a Honda of some sort. Just this morning, on my way to work, 2 different Honda vehicles pulled right out in front of me, causing me to swerve and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them. The place in Texas where one is most likely to be hit by a Honda driver is in Austin. I wasn’t anywhere near Austin this morning.
I could understand drivers of large vehicles being cocky behind the wheel, but Honda drivers?!
What type of vehicle in your area is spotted most often in wrecks and violating traffic laws?
Well, I drive a Honda Civic, so I suppose it is my ox being gored here, but . . .
Has it occurred to you that given the extremely large number of Hondas on the road (the Accord and Civic are consistently among the top ten models in unit sales in the U.S., and even rank even higher if you discount fleet sales to rental agencies, taxi companies, and corporations), so whenever there’s an idiot out there, there’s a pretty fair chance their in a Honda – but the same thing is true of careful, conscientious, sane drives as well.

Consider the word “so” in that horrible excuse for a sentence deleted. It’d be better off if recast completely, but that’s the smallest change I can find that would make it at least grammatical. Might want to put the missing “r” back in “drivers” also. Ugh. What I get for composing two halves of a sentence 40 minutes apart.

Well, I am a woman and I drive a Honda Civic and before that I drove a Honda CRX and before that I drove another Honda CRX. And I have never been in an accident, so

Actually, the rural area within which I commute is dominated by pick up trucks, many with trailers full of livestock.
I was thinking that maybe Hondas just have a lot of blind spots or some strange design flaw. I know that my mother’s suburban is difficult for me to drive because the position of the windows creates more blind spots than in my death-trap Nissan (which has its share of bad drivers as well). And I’ve tried moving the seat, adjusting the mirrors, etc.
I don’t mean that every Honda driver is a bad driver. Just that Hondas (the car, not necessarily the driver) tend to be accident magnets in the area in which I drive.
actually, I find Hondas have the best visibility all around, of all the cars I’ve driven…
I think it has alot to do with the image that Civics exude, all the while being affordable… hence lots of high school kids buy them (or their parents do, for them), and at that age, many drivers still think they’re invincible behind the wheel… I know when I just got my licence, I had that frame of mind… 10 years later, I’m pretty mellowed out…
I don’t suffer from insanity…
I enjoy every minute of it!
I used to service consumer electronics. An inordinately large chunk of my repairs were on Sony products. Next was Panasonic, then Kenwood. Are Sony receivers junk? Do their owners abuse or overdrive them? No- we just sold a bazillion of them compared to, say, Magnavox & RCA. In other words, we service what we sell the most of.
There is a parallal relating to the OP here, somewhere, but I feel like I failed to make it as clear as I should have.
Jeez, Opus, and your point is? (Kidding.) I, too, like Psycat, am a female driver of a Honda Civic (a/k/a Yolanda the Honda) and I have never been in a wreck* so nyah.
