I hate woman drivers!!!!

[gamgee]

why the f*** can't they think of other road users before they slam on their brakes to get that empty parking space without indicating
I was coming up the street beside the albert arms (for those who know dunedin) it's an uphill, that then goes flat quite sharply, so semi blind coming over it, anyway following a cage up there at about 50k/h come over the rise, and wtf, stupid bitch in front of me has slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road for no apparent reason, so i slam on the brakes, hard as i can back just about lifting, so the rear locks up, regain rear wheel, and drop it to the right to go round her, get round her, slam down my foot to stop myself dropping the bike, then almost highside it, and by some friggen miracle manage to regain it, but when i put my foot down, when it flicked back over the other way to almost high side, the footpeg smacked me in the leg, hurt like hell, and thought i'd broken my leg, wish i'd thought to swipe at her mirror, as she deserved to lose it for this stupid act of inconsiderate driving, and no it wasn't that i was following to close, it was that i couldn't see she had breaked until i was almost on her, and that she had basically locked up to stop for this park <_<
so now i have a bit missing out of my leg and it hurts like hell!! i hate cagers

[Ixion]

I am sorry about your leg. But -- I do seem to remember something in the road code about "able to stop in the length of clear road VISIBLE ahead". Could have been a child wandered into the road, hm?.

I know NZ drivers never DO apply that rule to blind hilltops (and most not to blind bends) , but there is a reason for it.

nana mode off. Congratulations of saving it.

[onearmedbandit]

Not good mate, it's dangerous out there. Also, your generalisation is a little off the mark don't you think?

[UrbanMyth]

hate that too actually happened today(not the same place etc but yeah..:P) but i was more lucky as there were no cars on the other side of the rode so i quicky weev'd around.

[apteryx_haasti]

Dude - I know dunners and that is a bit of a mare of a road - but I've had dudes do the same thing to me, so lets go easy on the chicks, eh?

[gamgee]

my generalisations are always off the mark <_<
if it had been a child i would have used my ninja skills and avoided it, same as i avoided the car, and i would have given it a slap in the side of the head for not looking before crossing the road:eyepoke:

[gamgee]

ok i'll refine slightly, it's more executive looking woman drivers, you know the type, dress in straight black dresses, and are usually just dosey secretary etc. they usually drive a holden barina, or similarly rubbishy car, but that wouldn't fit in the title, and when i say drivers, i mean cagers, not riders

That's two saves (and close calls) in one day. Well done that man!

[Str8 Jacket]

Ive learned to dislike most cage drivers be they male or female. Though I have to agree that there seem to be a hell of alot more scary woman drivers than men...

[u4ea]

:tugger: and for some reason.....(generalising)...............cagers drive much worse in the rain!!!!!!!are they affraid of getting their hair wet when in town or what??????????

[the legend]

well ive had two instances with worman so i think they are the cause not men they do tend to not se as well as men so id say thats the problem with them

[jazbug5]

well ive had two instances with worman so i think they are the cause not men they do tend to not se as well as men so id say thats the problem with them

Are 'worman' man-worms? There's a lot of those about...

[Motu]

if it had been a child i would have used my ninja skills and avoided it, :

It could of been the woman who was braking hard to avoid the child - you gotta be up with the game.

[Nicksta]

I'm a woman... and i drive... but i ride... so does that equal each other out??
gotta love the overgeneralisations

[Beemer]

well ive had two instances with worman ... they do tend to not se as well as men so id say thats the problem with them

Well, if you've only had two "instances" with a "worman" I'd say they can see pretty well - right through you in fact! :woohoo:

And at least we can spell and know what apostrophes are... :laugh:

Next you'll be telling us a woman was responsible for you crashing your bike. :tugger:

Hey Jazbug, maybe the increase in worman/men worms is something to do with that global worming shit...

Like u say - leave at least a 2 second gap at all times unless you can guarantee the person in front isn't a twat

[bane]

com'on gamgee, its not just woman drivers, its asians too!


seriously though, have to agree with Ixion - you have to be prepared for someone to jam on their brakes, and leave enough room to stop - (im sure most of us are guilty more times than we'd like to admit - timely reminder).

Pleased you were reasonably unscathed

[gamgee]

It could of been the woman who was braking hard to avoid the child - you gotta be up with the game.
nope she was definitely braking hard to pull into the empty car space:tugger:

[gamgee]

and what makes it worse is it's the second time i've nearly been knocked off by a cage in 2 days, on sunday night coming home (i already posted this somewhere i think) pulled into the dark one lane side street leading to my street, going along there then out of no where there is a black cage coming towards me with it's headlights off, i just plain didn't see it cause the street was so dark, so on the brakes swerved in between two parked cars, cager finally realises why i took evasive action and turns their headlights on, i'm guessing it was a guy, as a woman probably would have wondered why that hoon on the bike tried to crash into her

[jazbug5]

Yeah, but you'd have been deader if it had been a woman who'd taken you out...

(Especially if it had something to do with a parking space or something..)

[Jeremy]

You're ALL wrong.

I've come to the conclusion the real culprits is anyone with a "BABY ON BOARD" notice on the back. I've yet to see a single person with that sign on the back be considered a good driver.

[Insanity_rules]

I hate inconsiderate cagers! I was turning right out of a street a couple of weeks ago at a t intersection and the 4wd cage in front of me came straight out so I hit the horn. The look of surprise on the cagers face was priceless, it was a fine day and not a lot of cars out.

I always look for fellow bikers and can honestly say I've never cut one off (unles s you count pulling out on a group ride: sorry Wasp). Mostly my experience is that bikers will sit where you can see them, only ever had two surprises and they were both L platers.

I'm totally sick of brainless driving when out in my cage or on the bike.

[Motu]

nope she was definitely braking hard to pull into the empty car space:tugger:

So if you knew what she was doing how come you almost hit her?

[Lou Girardin]

Bloody women. Pack 'em all up and send them home I say.
Oh wait, sorry that's asians.
Bugger. What can we do about women then?
Just carry on begging for sex I guess.

[Str8 Jacket]

Ah ha, knew that there was something we had over men....

Just to add fuel to the fire.... A wee while ago a few of us Wgtn gals got together for a chicks ride. We were parked somewhere near Kelston, just of the motorway. There were about 6 or 7 bikes parked up and I kid you not but EVERY woman driver that came into the carpark to drop of their recycling or whatever had trouble negotiating their way around our bikes and believe me there was plenty of room... Then there was the guy's, blokes driving trucks had absolutely no problems getting around the bikes. I reckon it might have something to do with the woman and men think very differently, then again maybe its just stupidity?! :mellow:

[phoenixgtr]

It's proven that men can judge distances alot better the women. That just proves this point Hells

[KATWYN]

Its all bad drivers thats suck.

Yesterday a stupid lady drove her car up a one way road at a busy intersection at speed - the wrong way!

Everyone just stopped and watched her.....if a car had been driving down
that road - we all would have witnessed a head on.

By the way she wasn't asian either. I find asian drivers are apprehensive drivers.....someones apprehension
gives you time to watch for and get out of a potential situation. Its all the speeders and the drivers
that make fast unexpected turns etc that are the ones to watch out for I reakon

[Str8 Jacket]

Oh oh I got another one. A few of us went for a ride over Piecock awhile back and when we came to the roundabout that heads towards Tawa we stopped to give way and to our amazement there was this older lady who was turning right at the roundabout, but was driving on the right of the roundabout TOWARDS oncoming traffic. And she looked like she was completely oblivious to what she had just done as her and her friend just kept chatting while everyone just sat at the roundabout watching them as they tootled off...

[MSTRS]

nope she was definitely braking hard to pull into the empty car space:tugger:
And it's her fault that was the only park available, and she could have been driving around for 20 minutes looking for one? Any driver is entitled to stop basically anywhere for any reason. The onus is on the following vehicle to allow stopping room. Go back to your road code if you don't believe me.
At the same time I agree it's not fun being put in that position...

[ferretface]

I'd actually rather be behind an inconsiderate woman driver than a knackered old datsun/sunny driven by a gangster wannabe, driving with one headlamp and no break lights (not to mention bloombs of blue smoke following it) - Wellington seems to have their fair share of these driving around but I leave a big gap just incase some engine part/piece of bodywork decides to fall off!

i don't care how long she had been looking for a park, emergency braking from 50k/h to stop for a carpark is unnaceptable, and i wasn't following close, it was that it happened just over the rise and that she didn't indicate, in the .01 of a second i had to figure out what was going on, i decided to brake hard as well, when i should have just gone round her, as i did afterwards anyway

[Nitzer]

Bugger. What can we do about women then?

Nah mate, they should be at home cooking my dinner for when I get home from work.

My missus is a better driver than me, I don't even know how to drive. Actually she is going to teach me one day.....maybe this isn't a good idea after all? :confused:

[crashe]

gamgee - you hate woman drivers..!!!!!!


But your mother is a woman and she drives a car....
Do you hate her too?



I bet there has been a time when you have spotted a empty carpark spot at the very last minute after driving around for ages looking for a place to park... so you go for it..
It happens up here in Auckland all the time...

[R6_kid]

dont be picky crashe. If it was an indian or asian or black driver he would be flogging them instead. Its not like he rides around with a grudge against all woman, just one pissed him off and he is generalising/stereotyping.

[Kendog]

Is that true? The reason I ask is that whenever someone is tailgating me in the car and I say to the other half, "I'm going to slam my brakes on!!", he tells me that if the guy rams me from behind, it'll be my fault cause you have to have a good reason to be stopping suddenly. So can I? Please...., cause I hate anyone I don't know up my ass.

If they do hit ya, you just say a cat or dog ran out in front...not like they can prove either way.

Either that or just pull the handbrake on slowly - usually makes them shit themself.

LoL, Thanks! Often pull the handbrake on a bit and they back off for a bit, that or slow right down and watch them go beserk at having to do 30. Geeze, I'm a bitch.

So true! watch out for any car with kids in it (or honda odessys). The chances are they are distracting the driver. And if the Baby in question is < 12 months then it's pretty much a given that the driver is suffering exhaustion / sleep deprevation.

[Smorg]

punch her...

I stand by what I said before.....however if I find myself 'interested' I should introduce myself first??

i don't care how long she had been looking for a park, emergency braking from 50k/h to stop for a carpark is unnaceptable, and i wasn't following close, it was that it happened just over the rise and that she didn't indicate, in the .01 of a second i had to figure out what was going on, i decided to brake hard as well, when i should have just gone round her, as i did afterwards anyway

In your case it was a parking space. It could have been a head on with the hoon coming the other way cutting the corner. Where would you have been then? 2 seconds is a minimum! in a head on or partial head on decellaration to zero is almost instantanious with no warning brake lights. If you are lucky thngs stop there, unlucky and the car you were following is coming towards you.

Think if it as a test and a wake up call and thank her for helping you hone your skills. Now ride with a good 2 second gap or more if needed.

Also remember indicators are only an indication of what may happen. There are lots of other signs a driver (or rider) is going to change direction or stop.

Why is it unacceptable? And , sorry, if you cannot stop short of an obstacle ahead of you you are too close or going too fast. What if there had been a large truck sideways across the road, backing into a driveway? Or any other obstacle. If you can't see over the brow of a hill, slow down. The road code (and common sense, too) are crystal clear on this.

again, ninja skills, they have kept me from crashing so far (4 years) :woohoo:
it was a one off, if i hadn't locked the rear up, i would have stopped well short of her, but i managed to control it

Oh dear...you've done it now. To negate the jinx, you must sacrifice a black cockerel and spill it's blood over the breasts of a virgin, in the Octogon, at midnight. Do not ride your m/c until this has been carried out.

[The_Dover]

I don't think bitches should be allowed to drive, vote or leave the kitchen without permission.

They are a liability and it would leave the roads a lot less busy for me and my bike.

It was a bloody woman that hit me too.

[pritch]

Recently I committed a similar sin to the one complained of in this thread.
I was driving past a bike dealer in a work car and I saw a new Moto Morini Corsaro on the footpath outside. I jammed the brakes on, banged it into reverse and looked in the mirror, in that order. Nothing there but it wouldn't have made any difference if there was. I told the guy in the shop what I'd done and made a mental note to wake up.

And the Moto Morini does look an impressive bike.

[Macktheknife]

Sorry to hear about your leg mate, hope it heals soon.
I still say it should be compulsory to ride a bike for 2 years before being allowed to drive a cage, that should fix it.

Ups to that, Ixion.

This is all part of driving defensively...something that, unfortunately, bikers need to do more than other traffic.
OK sure, it's a blind hill and that's a bitch. But you know it's there. You know you don't know what's on the other side. Common sense dictates that you take the Boy Scout route and Be Prepared.
