Dirty flirt drivers flash to keep a clean licence

Posted by Steve Orme on August 4, 2008 5:28 PM | 

A survey has revealed that one in four women drivers would flutter lashes or flash a hint of cleavage to beat being nicked.
In a survey of 2,181 drivers Diva, a car insurance provider for women, found that 34% of 18-24 year olds said they'd give or would consider giving a traffic warden an eyeful to keep is digital in its holster.
The mature driver has more driving decorum, with 61% of over 45 year olds refusing to even consider flirting if caught flouting the law.
Drivers from Yorkshire displayed the most temptress tendencies - 25% said they'd turn on the charm if faced with potential penalty points, while 7% of Londoners admitted to already having had a go at charming their way out of trouble.
A 22-year-old called Kelissa Skydigital Lambrini from an estate in Kirkby said anyone looking down her front would get gobbed.
A few thoughts occur, not least what an appallingly sexist business this just-for-women insurance lark is.
Secondly what a waste of bloody money. Have a word with that Mark Anthony, women have been winking and waggling since the dawn of time to get what they want. Said Delilah today: "That Sampson wasn't 'alf has 'ard as he thought he was after a quick flutter of me curling tongue."
Eve was at the greengrocers and unavailable for comment.
As for the traffic wardens, the real story would have been finding one capable of appreciating what he was looking at.
