Another women drivers rant!

IvanDobskey · 5 May 2012 at 21:27

Driving along the outside lane of a dual carriageway today when some dozy bint to the left of me starts to move over and then signals without even looking (too busy yakking to her mate) :mad:

I was level with her going slightly faster than her when she decided to do this :mad:

I had to swerve rather close to the barrier on my right and hammer my horn to avoid getting a Nissan Micra embedded in the side of my Z4 :mad:

Anyway, just needed to vent

Was she trying to use the right lane about 1 mile before needed, like most women drivers?

IvanDobskey · 5 May 2012 at 21:39

There was no real need for her to change lanes at all. Just glad my reactions were sharp enough to avoid the situation.

The gender ratio in the middle line is 3:1 female to male in the middle lane.....

Man does something stupid while driving: "Wow, you suck at driving"
Woman does something stupid while driving: "Wow, women suck at driving"

Which lane sorry?

The middle lane. Its slap bang in the middle of your typical 3 lane motorway.

So by utilsing my common entrance 9+ maths exam, that makes it the lane number 2.

Eg, [] [x] [] The one with X is the middle lane. The lane number 2.

How can you not grasp this.

Why would you swerve instead of just putting your foot down so you were no longer level with her? Surely that would have been easier. Tsk male drivers.

The aim is to make it as dramatic as possible.

Like that guy who nearly rear ended the Audi with the made number plate.

He was fine but wanted to brake as late as possible to dramatize the situation for his camera just so he could make a thread about it.

My car is a z4 not a veyron :rolleyes:

Also, I was already cruising on the speed limit and accelerating hard would have put me too close to the car ahead.

So your Z4 doesn't have any grunt if you put your right foot down at 70mph? :rolleyes:

You already said you were going slightly faster than she was. If it was a choice between being a bit too close to the car in front or winding up in the central reservation I think I'd still stick putting my foot down a little.

Personally I think pepsilol has got it nail and head although I'm not denying it sounds like the lady in the Micra needs a slap.

I was once driving on the m1 in the far right hand lane and overtaking a lorry in the middle lane that was overtaking another lorry in the "slow" lane when it started moving into my lane, I initially thought that the driver would see me and stop its manoeuvre, it did not, I found myself squeezed into the central barrier but luckily because I slammed the brakes on I managed to stay alive, luckily I was driving a smallish van and not a car, only damage caused was bent wing mirror and some scuffing to both sides, I could not believe when the lorry just kept on travelling so I memorised it's number plate and company logo and pulled off.

Low and behold the driver was a women and did not even realise she hit me. Not even sure if her insurance paid out for my van repairs or my work insurance.

I have noticed women never use the mirrors, my wife for instance can take the car to work one morning and when she gets back I notice the wing mirrors are still in (we always put the mirrors in at night) and she had not even noticed, this is a regular thing as well, how on earth did she park at work?

Part of the problem is morons that sit in the blind spot of other drivers and sit there instead of going past. It's an over taking lane ffs. Not saying you were doing it in this instance but it happens all the time.

hurfdurf · 6 May 2012 at 01:09

Agreed, must be based on her gender, did she happen to be black or homosexual as well? How about left handed?

Hagar · 6 May 2012 at 01:12

Bad driving has nothing to do with gender. Mostly due to inattention which affects the young relatively inexperienced or the elderly most.

IvanDobskey · 6 May 2012 at 01:25

Just lol at some of the responses on here.

I wasn't sitting in anyone's blind spot and I didn't have time to accelerate past her. She was busy yakking to her pal and didn't even look before starting to pull across. I did very well to avert an accident.

Part of the problem is that people don't use their mirrors, and don't keep an eye on their speed, so you find yourself (keeping at a constant speed) moving lanes to pass people, who then decide to speed up because they didn't look in their bloody mirrors!
SO it's the person who's blind spot you find yourself in's fault

IvanDobskey · 6 May 2012 at 01:38

I had a split second to respond before she hit me. Luckily she heard my horn and moved back over. If she had full concentration on the road rather than gassing with her pal there would have been no issue. End of.

This is far too true. You never see a women glancing in her mirror to see who/what is behind. Fact.
