A tad harsh ... did you know she only had a 1.0 Nissan Micra? Even if that is her daily she might have something else at home she doesn't use for work, most people see my other half in his Pug 307 and not know about the Supra TT and Gixer at home as well as my zed. Unless you personally know her, for all you know she could be a racer at weekends, just because she is young and female doesn't mean she can't handle a zed, they have a big engine but I wouldn't say they're particularly spritely unless you're really pushing it.
This is a good point and I thought the exact same thing, people are always giving my Mrs slightly shocked looks when they see whos behind the wheel of the Zed.
Back to the OP - I saw this link elsewhere this morning, I think its a disgrace and I am impressed by the owners restraint, Id have been absolutely raging.
