Women bullies in small cars.
-
Recently a girl wrote to the Straits Times, that she had harrowing experiences riding pillion on a motorcycle. She wrote that car drivers just pass so close to her that if she were to stick out her heel, she could touch the cars. She also said that women drivers were increasingly also among them.
While on women drivers, I like to relate my curious experiences with them.
I have been bullied of my lane by lady drivers on 3 occasions. On all these instances, they came from behind, on my right and drift left, forcing me to either speed up or drop back. I could not be in their blind spot I as was ahead of them when they move up to me. Their actions were deliberate. As a biker and a driver, I let these incidents pass, as one of those things on Singapore roads.
The curiousity, is the fact that 1 was driving a SUV, but the other 2 were driving compact cars. One was a Nissan March, I can't remember the make of the other compact car.
I have been bullied before, but by a 10 tonne tipper, who was trying to get to the left lane as he need to turn off up ahead. That is not unusual.
Surprisingly, I have never been bullied by drivers of luxury cars like Merc or Lexus.
But lady drivers in compact cars?
The lady drivers were of the late 20 or 30 age group. Alone in their cars.
I was begining to profile them as frustrated, yuppies who can't quite afford a sedan. But then it might just be co-incidents.
Never the less, I ride/drive defensively, never assuming the teacher type driving a Daihatsu or Suzuki would be safe driver. -
My female bullies encounter comes from those driver large and/or expensive cars. Usually is they don't give way even though in most case others do. I am not say all females are like that, but usually those who are, are females.
I think they are those over-achievers who are always at the tip of their toe to prove himself, never letting other cut in at any time. That is how they made it to the top and got themselves those cars. -

Personally, I leave NO ONE assumed, on our roads.
First off, always spot others before they make an offensive move on you. When you have spotted any of these road-hags, anticipate what they might do, and leave no room for them to get into your blind spots.
Second, pick up your pace, leaving them behind to make whatever move they want. If they are faster than you, eg. a Porche or Ferrari, get outta their way. Or, just keep your right of way, they won't risk damaging their exotic machine by getting too close to you.
Third, if ever you find yourself being squeezed out of your lane, try and speed away safely if possible. Otherwise, honk them. Wake them up. Give her the finger if you must.
I hate women drivers like these that you described. They always make STUPID moves on the roads, and risk themselves and others as well. Thinking they are or wanna be on par with men on the road. They should get real; I believe their is no such thing as men driving better or women driving better. It's just common sense, patience, courtesy, and good judgement behind the wheel. Put just EGO behind a wheel, and their'd soon be trouble. -
there was once i was driving at the left most lane. then suddenly got this car tailgate behind me and keep flashing high beam at me. i did not give way as the road was empty. it could overtake me by changing lane.
then after a while, it sense that i wont give way, so it change lane and overtake me. when it speed up beside me, i turn and saw that it was a woman driver. then to my horror!!! i notice her car is closing in on me!!! i tried to speed up but she speed up too! no choice as my car not as powerful as hers, so i slow down. but then, she slow down too! and she is still continue to close in on me!!!! getting nearer and nearer!
i broke out in cold sweat! i could feel a little wetness in my underwear. then i look at her and shouted what does she wan from me. of coz she cant hear me as her window was closed. and she gave me the finger and i can see from her lip movement that she scolded me "fuk you"!!!
she kept forcing in on me and thank god i saw a filter left lane up front and i quickly filter left. if not for that filter left lane, i think i will be crushed between her car and the railing! just after i filtered left, i turn and saw her laughing loudly inside her car on the left lane! -
In a situation like that, check that you are both at least 80Kmh, and that there are no cars behind you, then slam down hard on your brakes, she will over-shoot you. After that, it's up to you what you want to do now that she's in front.
Next time, mod your car so that you can outrun a situation like that. -
Bullies come in all shapes and sizes...irregardless of sex, race or age. What i would do is make them pull over by turning on my hazard lights or simply aim my middle finger at them, sort things out the violent way if they have the guts to. I get very violent when got provoked at road, especially when they are in the wrong. Some of you will understand, that urge to pin that fellowÂ’s neck on the lamp post.

so cool! u guys!
i'm sorry to to hear you guys' unfortunate ordeals on the road...
jia you everyone and show, generously to those road bullies some of your colors

Sometimes the cars tailgate so close until I feel like..."Fuck it lah! Make my day!" and slam the brakes. But i can't bear to do it because I really luv my car.
I meet the same while I am riding. I wanted to slam brakes too on tailgaters, but of course the injuries that may occur scares me. -
some of these female drivers drive those MPVs n SUVs, travelling on the 2nd lane on the right...but travellin at a speed of 70-80kph...cannot oertake cuz right lane nv give way....high beam at them they point u middle finger thru the mirror...den u horn them they purposely slam the brake...many a times i nearly bang into them....den change lane find them talking on their hp...

Should have a camera ready. Overtake, wind down window and shot!!! At least the flash will stun her.Originally posted by kentheman:some of these female drivers drive those MPVs n SUVs, travelling on the 2nd lane on the right...but travellin at a speed of 70-80kph...cannot oertake cuz right lane nv give way....high beam at them they point u middle finger thru the mirror...den u horn them they purposely slam the brake...many a times i nearly bang into them....den change lane find them talking on their hp......
These reminds mine of a Vios driver (needless to say, female). I was exiting TPE (toward changi dir) at the exit to Tampines ave 10. There is this 3 lane just after exit before turn right to tampines ave 10. The angle that the 3 lane approaches the ave 10 is quite acute, so sometimes the left most car need to do a very wide turn.
This gal shot directly in and I, in the middle lane have to do a little wide to let the 1 on the right to squeeze through. I think she got mad for that wide turn I did, like want to close in on me during the straight road. Not signal for intention to go to the right, anyway I slow down. She slow down also??? I speed up, she speed up??? Then I horn, she wind down window and show her hand......
By chance we stop side by side at the next red light and I asked her what is bothering her. She show the "you good" hand sign, said I did a wide turn and horn her. Even after explaining I did to do a little clearance for the right lane, so did a slightly wide turn, she still angry. After traffic light, she shot off and cut like no-body business and disappear......
Til now I still do a wide turn there, maybe I will piss her off again, when fate allows.

advice is to slow down when exiting e'way. u'll never know what's waiting for u..be it a sharp bend, a speed camera or a road block... -
Was moving off from a red light with my kelisa, can't really go fast there. But because all the cars moving off at the same time, and first car somemore, so reaches the bend at the same time. Anyway, the lanes have turn in markers. I am just following them. But the Vios is really dashing straight for the bend. I always travelled by that road, so I know roughly how wide I should bend. But I can't say the same for the "lady".Originally posted by kentheman:u shld have slowed down bro...tt bend is very acute...once i forgot abt the bend n was travelling at quite a high speed...den when reaching the bend den realised tt it is a sharp one...no bo bian, poh heng suay...lucky no vehicle around me, so do a very wide turn...

But her act of closing in on me during the straight up was somewhat deep for me. I seriously thought she is trying to cut into my lane and even slow down. Then she also slow down, I really don't understand the logic here? -
INSTRUCTIONS:
#1:get infront of irritating driver.
#2:slam brakes.
#3:aim at the fvcker.:
#4:watch car fly backward
note:gatling guns also available for different effect.
note:n(a) for singapore and rest of world. -
seriously, this matter is of your own view
maybe if u put it in her view she may think that u haf turn too wide and cause her to feel abit unease....................?
=P -
I will drive my way side by side with a slow moving vehicle.Originally posted by Troy437:Sometimes the cars tailgate so close until I feel like..."Fuck it lah! Make my day!" and slam the brakes. But i can't bear to do it because I really luv my car.

This will make my day and worsen the day of the tailgator. -
I see people who are more considerate did a much wider turn at the right lane. Anyway, I did align myself to the white markers. You should see the real road to understand.Originally posted by RaCheLGeR:seriously, this matter is of your own view

Anyway, like I said, the funny thing is the closing in during the straight road that follows straight after. I seriously still don't understand what she is trying to achieve. -
I've seen this lady who looked in her early 40s driving a small Picanto or something a month ago along Lavender. Talking to the passenger beside her and zipping through traffic causing other drivers to jam on their brakes and horn at her...
She just kept on talking and driving that way ignoring all the horns. -
Hi all, i think its not juz ladies... Even guys do that... Actually, for those who're slow drivers, pls keep to the left. The extreme right lane is for thosewho travel at a higher speed. I've seen ppl who juz travel 80km/h on AYE extreme right lane... And they juz dun bother to filter in even when some cars flash their lights or follow closely. Such actions actually will cause road accidents and its very inconsiderate for the "slow" ones to do so...
Also, sometimes i see some Schumacher wannabes on the highway. They overtake cars like no one's business. I juz wanna appeal to everyone to be very careful. Cuz for us guys we can handle such takeovers and calmly let u do so. But ladies may not be able to do so and accidents can happen. PLs be very careful ppl... TC and God bless!
