I am afraid your assesstment is absolutely correct. I suffered a permanent back injury when my stopped vehicle was struck from behind by a woman driver who was, apparently, oblivious to the road. I had stopped to allow another vehicle (also driven by a woman) to merge into my leftmost lane because her lane ended in construction after she sped past my right side doing about 55 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. To avoid a potential accident from her possibly swerving into my lane, I stopped. It was then when, another woman struck my car from behind doing at least 40 MPH. She was riding with her 17 yr old daughter. They must have been having an argument or a conversation that was too important to be concerned with trivial matters such as watching the road in front of her. This is most often simple negligence, I believe. Never stop, unless you absolutely have to.

I didn't really mean to appear sexist, and slam women drivers here, but I think I did anyway. I am sure there are a lot of good women drivers. There may be some truth to the generalization, although I am not certain of it. My apologies to all the good drivers out there that are women.

Yep, chalk one up for me on that one. No permanent injury thank God but I was rear-ended while sitting behind an Explorer waiting to make a left turn by a girl going 60 who didn't even hit the brakes. Accordioned my car. 6 months Chiropractic luckily fixed my back injury.
