I saw two bad women drivers today. One on my way to school.. god who gave her the licence..

there are 3 lanes on my side.. she is in lane one.. oh no not lane one lane two.. .. well both lane one and lane two.

She keeps driving the road with one wheel on lane one and one wheel on lane two. I carefully cross her and then when I am crossing her she suddenly brakes.. causing the next car behind her to brake hard. Then she puts her left signal.. oh i see she missed the left turn lane.. oh okay.. then she stops there with 2 car lenghts in front of her. Then all of a sudden she realises that she can move front. so she pulls up and I give her a stare.. then the protected left turn green comes on and mrs. dingleberry decides she can go too.. so she starts moving and then starts going left.. no indicator nothing.. then she that she has to get space (cause there is only one lane on other side). So she waits but stops right in teh center of the intersection and then the other car stops giving her way and she doesnt realise it and then gets honked and then she moves..

So I thought I would see one dingleberry today.

On the way back I come to a 4 way stop sign. I am behind a pickup who approaches the 4 way and since there is no body else he takes off. As he takes off an small black car comes to my left and stops, I am still moving into the stop sign line. Behind her mrs. dingleberry2. She barely stops behind the first car and manages not to hit it. So the small black car takes off and its my turn (opposite me is another red pickup) who had just arrived. I start moving and mrs. dingleberry2 decides that she has her turn.. Im half way into teh intersection and she decides she can move and moves into the center of the inter section.. I am right there perpendicular to her.. glaring at her eyes and she is still moving.. I nearly dropped the bike having the swing teh weight of the bike on to one side and hit teh gas to avoid her.. I didnt have time to hit the horn but the pickup guy gave her a nice earful.

I mean cant she see that I am right there in front of her perpendicular to her.. oh no.. she cant.. cause her eyes are barely above the steering wheel.

UGH! WOMEN Drivers!

Persons of that particular racial heritage might not appreciate being painted with such a broad brush. What about small Irish women? Should they drive when others can't?

haha, that would piss me off alot too... infact, if that happened to me i'd likely post it too.. they are HORRID drivers (some women, esp. some asian women) and it bugs me how they have to share road with other more conscious drivers. i think they get lucky on the day of their test or something...

yeah as a virgin I can be banned for driving (since i dotn have a car).. but not riding..

my agony is against bad drivers.. some how most of my problems seem to be against asian and armenian drivers (especially asian/armenian drivers who came from another country and never drove there).

Reason: A while back we were having a family gather in alhambra.. all of us were in teh resturant execpt my uncle.. who got hit by a asian lady who had no idea what a red light means. She apprently didnt see it but she lives a few blocks down the street. He was waiting to take a left and had moved into the center of the intersection, the light turned yellow and then turned red, one car passed and then 2 seconds later he gets hit by a lady who didnt see the red light.

We called alhambra PD on 911 (they were less than 5 blocks away) and they go "oh we dont do any traffic accident thinges".. why because alhambra has so many freaking accidents every day the PD cant keep up with it. So 2 hrs later it gets over after a police squad car stops by (we are exchanging info and waiting for a tow) and does a police report.

My uncle gets his car repainted for free and it looks great (toyota body quality sucks it had tonnes of chipped paint on the car which arent there now - 1993 car).

so that's my point..

If you ever drive in alhambra CA, drive extra careful.. I know several people who have got into accidents in that city for following the rules of the road.

Dude, my wife is a small asian driver. She has had ZERO accidents that were her fault. I have had one that is my fault. So technically speaking she is a better driver than me. Even though she's had less experience behind the wheel, her insurance rates are still lower than mine.

So tell me, if these women you speak of are such bad drivers, how come they pay less on insurance than you do? Hmm?

There may be cultural differences or language barriers, but none of that has to do with gender itself. If you think you can drive or ride better than me because I'm a woman then I'll just have to run over you with my car ;) If you claim that people who learned to drive in different countries with different road rules or driving conditions have greater difficulty adjusting, then I'd agree that that is *sometimes* true.

I am not putting my driving skills in position. I have met lots of good women drivers, some who are even better than me. I dont say I am a perfect driver and I accept women make better drivers when they are calm and collected (same as men who for the most part in LA dont run calm and collected).

I dont know what to claim.. its just what I see with my own eyes. Invariably people who have no driving experience or drove in another country (for the most part) end up being bad drivers. Just to let you know a few days back some idiot nearly got into an accident with me by driving on teh wrong side of the median - this was broad daylight at at 2 oclock.. I know adjusting to left hand drive to right hand drive can be a bitch (because i have driven in both types) but it can be done given the fact that one keeps in mind on which side of the road to drive on.

There is a stereotype that oriental women are poor drivers. Whether or not this is true, stereotypes usually don't come out of nowhere - they're generally based on what people frequently see as a trait in regards to the people in question.

On the other hand, I can't say that any of the poor drivers I've seen have been Asian women. The thing that upsets me most is people who drive in the left lane on a highway, (with tons of cars piling up behind them) while cars on the right are crusing right on by them.

lol! Virgins from Glendale,

dude, Jfur, you been to Glendale Galleria, its like a Zoo out there, you see anarexic chicks with ricer boyfriends and hugeass hippo-sized babies-mamas with their once-ricer boyfriends and the kids who are ricers.


and TGG, I concur, Alhambra and Monterey Park is the land of Azns and bad drivers. I ran my car into a honda accord once, and the driver is a short Armenian mum. I was like, wtf are you doing here... anyways, I am sure that was a warm welcome that she haven't recieved for the last few times she came.


and this is for idiots:
Azn are not bad drivers, you can say there are More accidents cost by young azn ricer kids but you cannot say absolutely all azn drivers are bad.
