Kicking in the door

[slofox]

I felt like doing just this this morning when some youngish person of the female persuasion decided not to merge lanes in an orderly fashion but to barge past me since I was "only on a motorbike"...I didn't yield since I was feeling pretty shitty with the world anyway and she finally dropped in behind...which made no difference at all since at the next lights we both stopped and she was in the other lane anyway...which is when I exercised maximum self control and didn't kick the door in...

Which brings me to the point of this rant. This person was driving a Suzuki Swift. In a fashion that I have come to associate with the particular combination of younger female driver in that model car. I am beginning to wonder if, when they buy the thing, they get a sealed section of the driver's manual that instructs them in how to drive it like a tit. Viz, with mucho aggro. Maybe it's a Tron thing, but I see it a lot here. Is this universal or is it just my perception? Anyone else have this experience?

This is not the first such combo I have seen. Over the years there have been a few. Like the original Volkswagen Beetle that came complete with complex - "My veedub is better than ANY other car on the road and goes faster than all of them combined!" This one, back in the day, was the domain of the younger male driver.

And of course we all know what happens to people who buy an SUV...their sealed section instructs them that they are invulnerable and therefore are not subject to any road rules at all...

Meh, I am truly old and cranky today...maybe I should just

Nice self control Did you glare at her when you pulled up at the lights?

We are not allowed to talk like that about woman drivers in NZ, it discrimination.

I'm seriously interested in statistical information. Apart from highly represented boy racers and juvenile adult male drivers, I wonder how many deaths can be attributed to poor driving from females.

it's not the car...it's the attitude of the drivers....happens in boys and girls, young old, fat, ugly, black, white and brown.

Oh it must be a human thing, soem have grown beyond that mentality but some never do.

good one you for not kicking in the door.....

Been there mate, well done for showing restraint, that must have been hard..

I find it's the 20 somethings in their flash sporty cars that mummy and daddy bought them for Crimbo. They trawy Remuera, Parnell and Ponsonby basically with the 'I Own The Road' attitude.

It's all sorts and it's all over the country.

+1 for Steve T's question 'Did you glare at her?'

agree....its called common courtesy, if you have this for other drivers then you are doing well. Patience is a good factor too!

they don't collect that sort of information, could lead to discrimination doncha know

No - It was designed by Porsche - Hitler gave the order or "pulled the trigger" so to speak.

Why not just yield and save yourself the grief?

Designed by Porsche to satisfy Hitler's specific requirements

Sadly, when young and spunky many sheilas get away with crap driving 'cos blokes want to bone them. Unfortunately their poor driving continues once they are shagged out old slappers, as they have never had to learn otherwise.

On reflection, the probability of rooting some random hotty in a car is so slight we should give them shit in the first place...

especially if its a swift, she would probably have to be a gymnast

I was a passenger in a cage with a hot girl driver. Even though she was doing near 80 in a 50k area and surly toward the officer, the male officer really wanted to let her off, if she was nicer toward him.

Unfortunately, she had that 'I'm a babe, let me through' attitude, so got a ticket. We were heading home for sex which wasnt very good after receiving a hefty fine. Post ticket stress orgasm is a real fizzer....
