Men in Suits Are Worst Drivers?

Well, well, well! I've long said that women are better drivers than men! :D

I started noticing about 10 - 15 years ago that young White female drivers have become the rudest of all. They take stupid risks, tailgate, weave in and out of traffic, and put the rest of us at risk. And it seems like they are always driving tiny tin cans, so I wonder what that says about their intelligence. Since I am an old White female I guess it is PC for me to state this.

I've seen this in other third world countries too. Men in suits tend to think they're above the law in places like that. I don't believe this conclusion would apply in this country, though.

Where I live, the worst drivers by far are young women in BMWs and SAABs. Sometimes when I see these little ladies, I dream of only having a week to live and a snow plow mounted on the front of my pickup.

Not just young white females.. any young female, they all drive like that.

What do you expect?...they put a noose around there neck every morning and try to drive at the same time...smart...real smart...BTW...who has so much time on there hands to do this study, anyway...

OK...I had an extra 7.876 mins to read and respond to this post....times up 7.875...

Back when I was in college, I was sitting outside the dorms with my girlfriend one day when this young Asian girl (probably a student) bebops along and starts looking for a place to park. It was a very clear, nice late-summer day and I could see the flustered look on her face. Anyhow, it quickly became apparent to her that the only option was to attempt to parallel park in what, to me, looked like a pretty decent 1 1/2 car length space.

So, I sat there idly watching smoking my cig as she begins to pull in, then BAM! she suddenly slams the car parked behind her. This evidently startled her and BAM!! she slams into the car in front of her. Before you can blink, BAM! she slams the low stone wall beside her; BAM!! she slams the car in front again; BAM!! she slams the behind again, then just as I figure she's gonna get out and survey the damage, off she races on down the way.

Once in a while I've wondered if anyone tracked her down, or if she even survived to make it out of college. LOL!

Nope. You're all wrong. Old man, wearing a hat. That, and little old ladies that can't see over the dashboard. Flying Dutchmen, we call 'em.

Look out, here they come in their Duesenbergs!

Little old ladies are worse than the old men. In my former neighborhood, I used to cringe whenever I saw one of them hobbling (usually on a walker) out of the supermarket and right to a huge boat of a car (Cadillac, Oldsmobile, old Buick), usually parked in the handicapped spot.

I, on the other hand, was probably the best driver I know.

[DC native]

The root of the problem is that they aren't ladies.

[NYC GOP Chick]

LOL! I've seen people drive like that - usually elderly folks.

[RightWhale]

It is rampant. Maybe they think since they are so cute the laws of physics will be suspended for them.

[Ghost in the Machine]

Wrong again.

I am the world's best driver. Aggressive at it, too.

;^)

Bingo!! In Africa it seems you either the 0.5% that have your own car (a privilage of the rich, powerful and well connected), or you walk. Period.

Buses,bicycles, scooters,etc.? In theory, yes. As window dressing, yes. As reality, forget it.

*I* am the best - and a true New York assertive driver extraordinaire!

Then again, I haven't driven in about 4-1/2 years, since I moved downtown, where the parking is impossible and the streets are so crowded and narrow...

According to Jesse Jackson, it's okay to comment on the driving habits of young negro women. There, I said it for you.

In southern California, soccer moms with cell phones stuck in their ears are LETAL. Much more dangerous than teenagers.
