The thread seems to have gathered a lot of support for women drivers. I guess a lot many of you guys have not been at the receiving end!
I fully agree with what
snaronikar has to say
- have you guys even noticed how women leer on to the steering wheel to catch a better glimpse of the road around their car
- have you not noticed how they drive with impunity; they are least bothered about what is going around them on the road; they just drive on whether they are in the centre of the road or someone is honking - nothing seems to have any effect on them
- have you not noted how poor their reflexes are - the moment they are confronted with a situation when they need to react within split-seconds, they are doomed.
- the only reason why these days big vehicles and SUVs are being preferred by ladies is because they can 'bully' around on the road with people maintaining safe distance from them. It gives them a false sense of security. Agreed, driving SUVs does not call for greater muscle power - but it definitely calls for a better judgement owing to the larger size of the car, better driving skills - again because you are driving a big vehicle and you have a larger social responsibility of driving carefully unless you mow a two-wheeler down even without realising you have done it. Females prefer big vehicles in modern times also because of the 'show-off' factor - have you not noticed how bizarre and rash women are when they drive Scorpios and Safaris. Of course, you cannot generalise - there are exceptions; but largely, this rashness is owing to poor driving skills, poor reflexes and poor judgement - but they do get away because as it is people are wary of women driving and then on top of it an SUV - hence, people maintain safe distance.
I know I am inviting the wrath of many when I write all this but I myself drive a Sierra and I know what effort it takes to drive a big vehicle on road... You simply cannot expect this from female drivers the driving skills of whom are famous not just in India but the world over...
