Asks...

would this have happened if a woman was driving?

The other day on Route 1 (just before the evening rush), there was a Garbage Truck stopped in the fast lane. It had run out of gas.

Really? First of all, do we really need to be driving a garbage truck in the fast lane? Then, for it to have run out of gas? (How did I know this, you may ask? Because a tow-truck had been pulled up behind it, the driver of which was using a giant gas can to fill up one of the reserve tanks under the cab of the truck!)
