I have decided that its not that women are bad drivers, bas more like men are rubbish at driving.
If you think about it, women have to drive on the same streets as men, and so have to lower their standards of driving so as not to show up men-since male egos are so fragile as we all know-and also we have to become crap drivers so as to survive on the streets where men are the majority and are such rubbish at it. Seriously thing about it, in a democracy the minority have to put up with the decision of the majority, same on the streets, since women are still in the minority of drivers, we have to put up with the majority.
I see how men drive...in between the lanes, don't look...just come out of side streets (think they own I guess), drive really close to other cars. The classic male driver, gets upset if someone over takes them, fa they decide to compete with them-big ego again!!!!
The only concession I am willing to give on this topic is the driving of veiled woman...sorry, but I agree they are not very good...not sure what it is about...bas they are just crap drivers!!!!
Lulu, come on woman! Generalizations about men are just as harmful to dialogue as are generalizations about women. Don't fall into the "angry privileged feminist" trap!

P.S. Furthermore, everyone knows all Jordanians- men, women, and veiled folks- are crap drivers ;)
lol...love the angry privliged feminist trap...bas ok...not all men lets say...MOST men:)
ReplyDeleteI really don't get it with veiled women kaman .. why are they so bad at driving? is it fear or lack of skill? no idea
ReplyDeleteI agree with Saleem though .. in Jordan we are all crappy drivers and the priority goes to cab drivers, service drivers, truck drivers, the cool dude illi mrakkeb spoiler, and el 3ammo abu 7atta w 3gal :)
And there... ladies and gentlemen is another example of what has become known as lulwa logic, it works like this...
ReplyDeleteA recipe for a lulwa logical statement:
1 fact +
1 other totally unrelated fact +
2 or 3 gross generalisation =
lulwa logical statement
Then repeat this statement over and over again until somehow it becomes accepted (usually because other party has lost the will to point out the absurdity of statement, in addition to will to live).
Goo Lulwa!
ReplyDeletedunno, but generally cab driver are accused being suck at driving...
ReplyDeletei think if all people learn how to drive from those guys things would be much btr!!! The last thing you want is some stupid driver blocking the road; Taxis make the traffic move!!
Oy Betsy, DO YOU DRIVE???
ReplyDeleteBBC: Fine for driver's make-up offence
ReplyDeletehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/uk_news/wales/north_west/4785686.stm
A motorist has been fined after being caught by a speed camera taking both hands off the wheel to apply make-up while driving near a north Wales town.
Pwllheli Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday how Donna Marie Maddock, 22, from Mold, was travelling at 32mph in a 40mph zone earlier this year.
She was using an eyeliner with one hand and a compact in the other.
Maddock was fined £200 after admitting careless driving. The court heard she was banned last week for drink-driving.
Magistrates hear that it was an Arrive Alive mobile anti-speeding van, equipped with a camera, that caught Maddock driving her Vauxhall Astra in Ala Road - the road out of Pwllheli towards Abersoch.
Ian Evans, prosecuting, said she had what appeared to be an eyebrow or eyelash pencil in one hand and something like a compact or mirror in the other.
The video was shown in court and Maddock, who did not appear for sentencing, could be seen with both hands off the steering wheel.
'Beggars belief'
Mr Evans said: "This is an unusual case. The police speed check caught the defendant doing 32 mph in a 40 mph area. There was no speeding but she had no hands on the steering wheel."
Magistrates imposed six points on Maddock's licence and heard that she was already serving a 20-month driving ban, imposed last week.
A letter from her solicitor asked that because she had been disqualified since the offence, no further ban be added.
A spokeswoman for North Wales Police said: "A car is a dangerous lump of metal in the wrong hands.
"You need to be in control at all times and Miss Maddock's actions beggars belief."
