Why Aren't There Many Female Commercial Pilots?

The Ultimate "Travel Hacker"

In this video:

As the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, the commonwealth, and certain other countries that have since declared independence but decided they kind of like having the Queen on their money, Queen Elizabeth II enjoys a number of unique perks not bestowed on any of her subjects. These include being immune from prosecution from any crime she may happen to commit (justice is served in her name); she cannot be compelled to give evidence in court; she owns all of the dolphins, sturgeons and whales found in British waters (she also technically owns all mute swans found on open waters in Britain); she has the ability to declare war on any other nation if she so desires it; and, most pertinent to the present conversation, she doesn’t need a passport to travel abroad. So why not?

"do you know how fast you were going? "
*window rolls down*
I am the queen of England, Wales, and the Britons, Elizabeth Windsor the second. I vouch for the driving ability of the operator of this motor vehicle, and I do know how fast it was going.
*window rolls up*
*car speeds away*
"yes marm"

Bad ass queen driving a misogynistic prince around scaring him half to death. I love it. I may be an American, but I have a deep respect for the queen, doubly so after learning about this.

[charlotte-mgwj]

King Abdullah : where's the driver?Queen: what driver?(Queen drives furiously)King Abdullah: thinking (I was right, I should never let woman drive in my country.)

[FUBAR]

I'm an American but I admit the Queen is one tough grandma.

[tornagh]

So what if the Queen is in a car and one of her acquaintances is driving without a permit. Can she also vouch for his driving ability should they be pulled over (The same way she can vouch for her own)?

[BillWalkerWarren]

now that's awesome the Queen driving around her estate at top speed just to show that idiot what for . Wow she is cooler that I thought !

[IanAtkinson]

Because when one owns a sizeable chunk of the world, one does not need a passport to go out into one's garden.

[Folopolis]

"So in the case of the monarchy handing over power to parliament, the queen shall be compensated with immunity from prosecution and retain the power to declare war.  Is this agreed to your majesty?"
"And the whales."
"Pardon?"
"I want all the whales too. Oh, and I don't want to have to carry a passport, it doesn't fit in my mini-purse."
"Yea sure, what the hell."

[MwoWn]

Cause she's the queen *end video*

[thewhoseesthroughu]

the queen can go pub crawling and then drive back to the estate drunk AF and nobody can do anything about it. Real power.
