Connors For Sparks Councilman
A friend, family member, or colleague of Randy Connors, who is currently running for City Council in Sparks, is a very aggressive and possibly dangerous driver. How do I know this guy is affiliated with the Connors campaign? His car had a large magnetic campaign banner for Connors on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. Should I give out the license plate number?
After memorizing the plate number and campaign website URL on the car, I checked Connors’ website, and was relieved to see that it wasn’t Connors himself who nearly ran me off the road, blocked me from passing him for three miles while letting 10 other cars by, and then cut across two lanes of traffic on two different ocassions before finally getting off the freeway at the Moana exit (I think).
This is a situation that candidates should think about, because you have to be sure that people walking around or driving around with your name prominently displayed are representing you well. And Randy Connors, while you look like a fairly good candidate, this guy was a complete and utter tool. Not only does he deserve to have his license revoked, I want to see him strapped down in the backseat of a bus full of women drivers who taunt him by shouting out questions from the driver’s education manual:
Mr. Tool: You are about to make a left turn. You must signal continuously during the last ____ feet before the turn.
50
75
100
What’s a matter Mr. Tool? Don’t you know the answer? Its so eaaaaaasy! Evil bitchy laughter…..
You are approaching a railroad crossing with no warning devices and are unable to see 400 feet down the tracks in one direction. The speed limit is:
15 mph
20 mph
25 mph
I thought you knew all about driving Mr. Tool speedracer? What’s a matter? Are you going to cry now? Does Mr. Tool want his mama?

Now, to be fair, if you took that “bus full of women drivers” there is absolutely no way in hell that more then three of them would know the answer to either of those questions, much less both. Sorry, Minkoff, I call BS.
keep clinging to your straw:

Unfortunately for you, that article proves nothing that suggests women are ACTUALLY better drivers. It merely suggests that driving might be one possible benefit of (o)estrogen. BS is still on the table here.
Claiming BS doesnt make it so. If that were the case, I could just say that men are the worst drivers ever because they take too many risks, and have shorter attention spans. Oh, but wait. That’s also shown to be true using empiracle data. And you know insurance companies dont pay for research that doesnt help them figure out how to manage risk.
Blah blah blah insurance companies blah blah. While it certainly is anecdotal, I can cite you two examples of my own wife being able to keep our insurance rates down because she girled herself out of a ticket. If I had been the one pulled over or speeding, twice, here is no way in hell we avoid the increase. You know how I keep our rates down? I don’t drive like a bat out of hell, that’s how. Women have it easy with cops, and that contributes to lower rates and lower “risk” for their insurance companies.
I’m talking about empirical evidence like research results, number of accidents, you know, proof. Not who has more tickets.
I hope you arent basing any notions of your essential masculinity on this issue, because, well, its a fragile thing to base anything on. Then again, I guess its hard for men–there just isnt that much out there to cling to as far as believing you’re the superior sex anymore. But its okay, you still make more money for doing the same thing–for now.
And rightfully so on the money thing. Just curious. You seem to be able to find a lot of this stuff. Has anyone ever studied pullover to ticket ratios? See, what you’re dismissing is an actual indicator of risk. Tickets are calculated directly into risk, but if you’re pulled over and DON’T receive a ticket, it’s like a free pass. The study, of course, would have to be completely unknown to the cops because as soon as you tell them you’re studying whether they give more passes to certain people, they’ll be all human and adjust their behavior to what they expect the researcher to find fair.
