Signs that there is a woman driver near you

Scenario 7: You are approaching a row of parked cars on your side of the road

There is ample space to get two cars down the road side-by-side even if the entire nearside is covered in cars, but there's a build up of traffic for some reason. Finally as there is no more cars approaching the first car starts to move down the row as another car starts approaching from the opposite end. Due to the car infront of you leaving enough room to fit a another car in between them and the parked cars, there's gridlock ahead and manoeuvres are attempted, wing mirrors are clipped. Spatial awareness, women's final obstacle when it comes to driving.

My Mam is a typical example of this, she left so much of a gap between her and the parked cars when the approaching car had right of way anyway, all you heard was the scrape of the poor guys alloys against the kerb...
 
I saw a girl driving a Pug 107 or whatever the silly small car is. In a car park, looking in to the sun visor mirror while stroking her eye lashes with some sort of fluffy stick while moving. Part of me wished she hit something and poked herself in the eye with the fluffy stick.
 
Any situation which involves pre-empting the outcome and acting accordingly, women generally fail.

Most women drive in a way like they are the only person that matters, in fact they do everything that way....
 
You are on a roundabout and have right of way, a car joins directly in front of you the driver is completely oblivious to your existence, not even a sideways glance. However you know they know your there but they seem to believe that by keeping eyes fixed dead ahead that somehow your car will enter an alternate dimension and avoid colliding with them.
Yes its always a woman.

I experience this almost daily on the way to work on a round about nick named devils island in coventry.
 
Serious question: why do (many) women play with their hair so much when driving a car? I see this numerous times every day, women patting and pushing their hair around, running their fingers through it it etc.

Is it because "they are worth it"? ;)

They do this all the time behind the scenes. You just notice it more when they're wobbling all over the lane in front of you.

I am unconvinced women actually drive worse than men. I do think their bad driving is qualitatively different to mens though.

If I'm getting tailgated in a 30 or 40 it's generally either some tool in an Audi / Hot hatch / 4x4 (is their any male 4x4 driver who isn't annoyed about their small willy?) in which case it's usually being done kind of aggressively or else it's a woman driver doing it in a slightly dozy fashion.

Not like intentionally trying to park in my boot just driving along fixated on the back of my car apparently blissfully unaware that their car is made of metal and needs room to stop.
 
Coming to a set of traffic lights you either A. Speed up to pass safely or B. Slow down gradually to save petrol and wear and tear and also hope by the time you've got to them they then change.

Nope not my ex, she would get to the braking distance and then BHAM anchors on! No gradual change of speed, no gear selection just BHAM. I wasn't even driving and could feel the rear end go light.

She scared the crap out of me, I try to prevent getting in a car with a women.

My mums just as bad, if she is following me somewhere or travelling to the same place - she will try and overtake me at every givin opportunity!
 
Oh yeah I know the one now. I normally take the 2nd lane coming from A45 (left) and merge into 2nd lane of A46 (top right) to avoid people pulling out unexpectedly from London Road.
 
I thought it was called Suicide Island?

A long time ago it didn't have traffic lights which apparently made it much more interesting, and that turning off the A45 to get to Leamington which is now a roundabout was similarly dangerous.

Hands waving around frantically in the car as they have a heated conversation on the phone.

Only checking the rear view mirror when fully stationary.

That's a sales rep in an Audi. If he bothers to check the mirror at all.

You are entering a roundabout. The car in front continues a little way around and then jams its anchors on and reverses because its missed the exit. Its a woman.

You are approaching one of the busiest roundabouts. A car already on the roundabout stops to ask directions holding up the entire sliproad. Its a woman.

You are approaching a large three lane three entry roundabout, you are in the right hand lane and there is a car in the left. You both enter at the same time. The car in the left hand lane veers all the way across two sets of white lines as if to try and take you out. Said car then notices you are in that lane and jams the breaks on while beeping. Its a woman.

You are driving in an almost empty car park. There is a crash and a car is in the trolley park on its side. Its a woman.

You are driving down a narrow street. There are spaces big enough for two cars. The car in front has been trying for 20 minutes to parks a Saxo in one of them. You offer to do it for the driver and succeed in one fluid movement. Other drivers give you a smile. Its a woman.

All the above are real and experienced in either Cardiff or Swansea.
