I don't believe this story at all. It was commissioned by an insurance company, I can't really see many blokes saying the reason they crashed was because they were applying fake tan or looking at their reflection in the mirror, it sounds like nonsense.

And just noticed it was in the daily express, the paper which is still waffling on about the same old same old - princess Diana, Madeleine McCann and house prices. They are on a par with the daily mail.

I couldn't be bothered to read that all...I don't believe men spend all their time looking at themselves for vanity.
They probably are checking out a fit girl they have just passed and making the excuse they were looking at themselves so as not to get in trouble.

Or they are looking at themselves as they just saw a fit girl checking them out and want to make sure they looked good for the girl to get an eyeful of.

Or they were checking out a cool car and didn't want the wife/gf complaining again "Looking at cars again I see, you look at cars more than you look at me..." etc etc.

Well, there IS a seemingly endless thread about multi bkade razors where there are learned discussions about shaving cream and brushes; have seen threads about skin cleansers,after shave,and of course the magnificent thread on white jeans.

Yawn...

Why such stereotyping? You'll probably claim that all male car journeys are made from a Rugby game to a DIY shop via some kind of real ale pub/railway museum next! I never understood the desire to portray the entire male race as a homogenised unit competing with itself in order to express some imagined concept of hyper-masculinity. Perhaps they do, but that's not really my concern.

I am a fairly vain individual and have been known to use my sunvisor pop-out mirror thingy for a quick tidy up of my appearance. It hasn't really caused any driving issues as yet - my fringe occasionally de-parts itself and falls in front of my eyes but that's an occupational hazard of 90s boyband hair. I digress.

The point remains that some men like looking polished, and the mirror festooned car is too much of a temptation in most circumstances. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to buy some cushions and get in touch with my feelings. We aren't all the same!

OH MY GOD!!...or should I be saying "OMG"?

It's not stereotyping, its true! Most men (straight ones anyway) take that crafty glance at a pretty lady or fit mini-skirted girl etc. Those that say they don't are either scared of their wife/GF or insecure so feel they cannot be honest about this manly flaw in front of their respective loved one, lying, after-someone through claiming they are not looking and wanting to appear to be deeply respectful of womens dignity, gay, or in the closet, or in denial, or extremely religious.

Maybe I should be more open minded to men's thinking but it's just down to a raw, animalistic fact, genetically programmed and part of life as a man.
Your quote on tidying up your appearance and brushing your fringe away from your eyes isn't supporting your argument much either. Shows you put vanity above manly instincts but thats your right as an ...er....man.
