picture this scenario (courtesy of a friend):
you are driving along the expressway...driving on the 3rd lane ( the most left lane and for slower vehicles)...you were driving as per normal...as you approached a filter-in lane..ie another car may enter on your left into the expressway provided you are driving on the right side of the road...another car was filtering into the expressway...in theory, the car should slow down but this particular car did not slow down but seemed to be determined to go right in front of you car and into the expressway....
HOW WOULD YOU REACT??
in my opinion, this is the type of reaction you would expect of a female driver:
(1) assumed that the car would slow down as she has the right of way
(2) realized that the car is not slowing down and started cursing him
(3) continue at the same speed assuming that the car will notice her approacing and slowed down
(4) realized that the car is realy NOT slowing down and check her mirrors to ensure that all lanes are cleared..if she doesnt, proceed to the next step
(5) change lane
(6 drive past the driver and glared at him/her
(7) complain to friends/boyfriend/parents that this stupid car just didnt give way although she has the right of way and if she didnt change lane on time, there would be an accident
on the other hand, this is the type of reaction i think a male driver would have:
(1) assumed that the car would slow down because he's coming on fast
(2) realized that the car is not slowing down and started cursing him
(3) check mirrors to see if can change lane...if possible, change lane..if not possible, reduce the speed
(4) let the car into the expressway
(5) overtake the car and glared at him/her
(6) if it's a him, vulgurities..if it's a her, shake the head and said "as usual..lady drivers"
(7) complain to friends that lady drivers should be banned on the road
am not sure how accurate i am...but generally, i think most girls will follow the books that they have learnt during lessons very closely..so close to the extent that they become inflexible...while guys will assume that they are god of cars and become arrogant drivers until the day they met with an accident...*laughs* but i must say, there are good and bad drivers in the female and male communities...*smilez*
as for myself..i would normally reduce the speed because i'm at the slowest lane and am already driving slowly..unless i'm driving some super powerful car which i am very sure that i can drive faster than the car that's filtering in...*grins* it's logical to give way to a ferrari when you are only driving a lancer as you know the lancer will NEVER outrun the ferrari right? so why waste petrol? petrol is so expensive nowadays... but of course there were times when i didnt slow down and change lane WITHOUT *gasps* checking my mirrors...this is so so so so dangerous..must change....*grins*
