“There are times when we honk, and they show all sorts of signs,” he said. This prompted Siti Mariah to demand that Bung retract his remarks, stating that his statement was too general. However, Bung was adamant that he had spoken the truth, and lashed out at the Kota Raja MP for attempting to politicise the issue.
“We are talking about accidents, don’t politicise everything, don’t be a monkey. You want to even politicise deaths,” he snapped. At this juncture, Dzulkefly Ahmad (PAS- Kuala Selangor) came to his colleague’s aide and asked Bung what evidence he had to back his claim. He also reminded the Umno MP that his wife and mother were women.
Bung remained unapologetic and argued that he was not being disrespectful to women but merely pointing out that accidents happened to women who had just passed their driving tests. Coming to Bung’s defence, Abdul Rahman Dahlan (BN-Kota Belud) said that the Kinabatangan MP was not being disrespectful to women. “I sympathise with Kinabatangan… there are no negative implications (to his statement). Women are more careful, so they drive slower. There is no discrimination (against women),” he said.

Do the men there not drive insanely fast and cause spectacular accidents with multiple fatalities? Seems that whenever we hear about such an accident around here, the driver -- more often than not -- has been male.
There are bad drivers on both sides. If he actually looked at the data, I'm sure he'd see that was the case.
Indeed, it's the young men during their first couple of years of driving who are the most dangerous and accident prone. I would be willing to bet the situation is the same in Malaysia.
I'm not exactly a Bung Mokhtar fan but he's got a point. Last month, over a space of little more than 10 minutes on one of the main roads in Bukit Mertajam, I noticed three drivers driving with the left hand on the steering wheel, right hand on a handphone while making turns at T junctions! Man - I thought that was diabolical! btw: all three were women, and I can only assume that the cars were Auto models.
Usually, when you see dumb drivers or insane driving techniques that don't care about others, its women 99% of the time.
In a 8 lane road, 4 lanes per each way, this woman just goes from all the way from lane one to lane 4 without any caution and makes a turn to where ever she was heading too.
Actually, women does not make bad accidents but derives fatal accidents all the time.
