As I was walking home today, I come across an intersection where I almost witness a major car accident. A woman driver decided she would continue along her road despite its a red light for the past 30 seconds. Of course all hell breaks loose as the cars on the intersecting lane came screeching to a halt, resulting a HUGE pile up in the intersection.
Heres my problem with women drivers. 2 reasons:
1) Yes, I know we're all about gender equality these days. But that doesnt make women more assertive and aggressive on the road. For those who drive, you know the road is a beast on its own. If you dont have confidence in your driving, you should not drive. Some, if not a majority, of women drivers tend to not have this confidence when they drive. Not sure if its because the sight of fast cars intimidate them or what, but from what I've seen, they're not assertive when they drive.
2) I know it had been said that women are better at multi-tasking than men. Yes, I can agree to that. Hell, evolutionary theory of the prehistoric cave-people can account for this: Men hunt, women gather. Because women had to also rear children, they are forced to learn multi-task earlier than men, who just have one focus: hunt. But when it comes to the modern times of vehicle operation, multi-task does not seem to be a well-desired trait. Who would you rather have in writing a paper? Someone who can multi-task between watching tv and writing a dessertation, or someone who only concentrates on the dessertation? Of course if your concentration is on just one item, its more than likely you'll perform well in that task. Same thing with driving. We all know women got their urge to keep checking their outlook constantly. Hell, thats what the mirror in the shotgun seat is for. But to check how their makeup turns out WHILE driving? Receipe for disaster.
So please, women drivers, we all heard of "Dont drink and drive". But for you lot, "Dont bitch and drive". Stay off the road.
