Pink ‘girl’ zones?

[PeterJB]

And you can't use the back roads because you might damage them.

I can't even read the comments without dying in laughter because of the innuendos!

 

[AlvaroF]

My new favourite thread after a good ludicrous claim! I am properly rubbish driving on a pink girl zone and so are my innuendos

And that's viral advertising in action

This reposted advert is getting Sheila's Wheels more attention across the internet than actual pink zones, according to figures I just made up

 

[Keef]

Ah yes, the "girl zone". Best when pink. Actually if it's not pink you should probably run away.

 

[disinfected]

I figured this would be something about Japan.

 

[Omnis]

Are the pink lanes blocked off every month to prevent haemoplaning?

 

[PeterJB]

I figured this would be something about Japan.

Japanese roads have problems with overhanging vegetation.

 

[Omnis]

If the pink lanes see heavy traffic, can they become HOV positive?

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[MXH]

What about aquaplaning? I can definitely see it becoming a recurring issue for inexperienced drivers.

 

[PeterJB]

Nah, due to the undulating nature of the roads, they can be a real blast to ride when wet.

And when you're in the groove, flat to the floor...

Even if serious (I assume it's not but you never know) this is a foolish idea.

I don't think we've gotten to the entire dictionary of innuendos yet though.

Would using a phone to order a sandwich whilst traveling in the pink girl zone be considered rude?

It isn't, it's part of an ad campaign for a UK insurance company that specialises in covering female motorists.

Nope, we're nowhere near, as you just proved

I think coming off at the ringroad could be tricky, and I'm not sure how the car-share lanes would work, I've only seen it on the internet.

 

[C-ZETA]

To break away from the innuendos for a moment.

This lot should try Tumblr.

 

[Famine]

Good point. What would happen if, for example, you had two girls in one Renault Clio 182 Cup?

Now that's a hot hatch.

 

[Roger the Horse]

What about trans people? Separate lanes for them too? If not, why not?

If they're transwomen, than they would have access to the pink girl zones. Transmen would not.

As someone said the other day, a woman (Belgian) was driving on the highway following the instructions of her GPS. It said "turn around" and that is exactly what she did.

They're Belgian. What do you expect? It's a country where all of the number plates are illegible so nobody has to know who it is that's doing all of the bad driving. (Usually everyone)

 

[MrUnknown]

Taking woman jokes to the extreme, eh?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Something always rubbed me the wrong way about those "women only" insurance companies. This really rubs me the wrong way though. The implication that women would need their own lanes to get away from "dangerous" male drivers is honestly both misogynistic and misandristic at the same time, as it implies both that men are inherently dangerous drivers and that women are somehow less capable than men at dealing with these "dangerous" male drivers.

I get that it's just a joke, but honestly, I think it's in poor taste.

They'd have to make a special "Ride Share" extra wide pink lane for these ones. With the obligatory NSFW posting at the entrance, of course.

 

[Grayfox]

Oddly enough pink was once considered a guys color due to it being closer to red.
And blue/purple was a girl color due to that color being the color of royals.

Thus men can drive in pink lanes, since it is a proven fact that pink was once thought to be a mans color and it should hold up in court.

Also would pink lanes mean only female police can drive on them?

A lady steals some jewels from a store, uses pink lanes to get away.
Male police has to deal with traffic in non pink zone.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Maybe they could make it so guys can enter the pink zones, but only if we pay at toll booths, with jewellery, flowers, candlelit dinners, and watching terrible Rom-coms?

 

[Danoff]

I think it's in poor taste.

That has more to do with routine cleaning and maintenance than anything.

 

[Omnis]

Someone already made that joke.

 

[kikie]

I have question.

Are these men allowed in the pink zone?

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Japanese roads have problems with overhanging vegetation.

The Japanese pink zones are also all pixelated for some reason.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I wonder what the penalty is for entering a pink girlzone without a permit?

Cooties, I assume.

Get an ear full of nagging.

Worse than any fine imaginable.
