Al get Becky on the phone, we need a female point of view. There are too many men on this forum for it to be a fair deal.

Rachel is currently learning to drive, now she is of an attitude that its always someone else who's at fault but, she does acknowledge any courtesy from other drivers.

I would like to know if female drivers get the same respose from male drivers or they are all to busy looking at the bumper in front of them to see what is going on.

From a gender point of view, men do like to be in control, women usually sit back and let them do the work. SO when a women has to drive they are not as confident in their abilities. Thats not to say that all women are the same, my mother-in-law is a very profitiant driver and I am comfortable for her to drive the S.


Come on girlies show us how wrong we are..

 

She's in Germany at the mo.... I'd never get away with slagging off female drivers at any other time

You let your mother-in-law drive the S? I wouldn't let mine near the passenger seat!!

 

My Al we do live on a knife edge, now where did I put Becky's number

 

kelk, Why have you just changed your sex?

 

They think you are letting them out cos you fancy them and they get all bigheaded then

Were any of them in X5's? Dirty wenches

 

It's a sad fact, but I think too many of them still believe we should all be driving like we were in Morris Minors.
I've got nothing against drivers who wish to drive at 55 on a motorway/ dual carriageway, but they should keep left, use their mirrors in advance of a manoevre, indicate in plenty of time, and generally appreciate that most other vehicles will be travelling much faster than them.
Nearly got taken out a couple of weeks ago by an old codger who was lane drifting, just like you said.... just fortunate the brakes work well.

 

Well have just had a text through from Maps Legal saying Norwich Union admit liability to the 80+ year old guy who couldn't be bothered (for want of a better phrase) to give way to me on a roundabout. Thankfully was the Prelude and not the S2000, Garage will hopefully work on the car next week.

On my daily drive I tend to find it depends on what I am driving on whether people give way or thank you for giving way, get more of both when in the S2000 or NSX. Rather than Golf (gone now thankfully) / Jazz(courtesy cars) / CRX, that surprises me with the CRX though as it still looks sporty enough.

 

Hmm, there is an attitude towards what you are driving. I occasionally drive the S to work rather than the Nissan Micra. People seem less inclined to overtake the S, but they seem aggitated by the Micra. Both I drive at the same speed and within the speed limits.

 

I find most women don't let you out; it

 

I haven't noticed any difference in terms of letting people out or not.

I tend to let people out if they are polite about it - i.e .indicating etc., rather than shoving themselves out. Also more likely to let someone out, or do a good favour, if someone else did one for me.

I always thank people for letting me out, but then I don't consider myself to be a typical female driver.
