Enough of Lady Drivers/driven vehicles???????
Souce/Link: http://www.qatarliving.com/answers/cars/enufff-of-lady-driven-vehicles
I've been reading some questions and comments/answers ON QL'S QUESTION FORUM, I found these interesting comments:
"i get nervous on the road when i see a lady driving a car in front bcoze they drive like retards as if they are driving for the first time. beware of all the lady drivers they are dumb on the road." - Asif Khan
"add to that the poor engine maintenance coz they need a qualified mechanic to do the job for them... body riddled with scratches... poor car... well what do you expect from a lady driver anyway? c'mon guyz give them a break.... is there a lady taxi driver in doha? how about a lady vallet parking assistant?

"STUPID LADIES DONT EVEN KNOW THE ABCD OF DRIVING!! NOT EVEN A SINGLE WOMAN DRIVES WELL!!!!" - xhameel1
-------------------------
Hey, I'm a lady and I drive a car...but I found these comments kind of irritating as I do know MEN has far more ROAD RAGE incidents than women especially on the road of Doha.
From my experiences on the road, the men in those monstrous landcruisers/pathfinders drives like they own the road...
And most car accidents (if not all), the men are behind the wheels...
this post is still active??
what the hell??
-mata hari your an old timer.
-nsmcleon, i see many of mad and psycopath men drivers every day that i refer to as 'mad drivers'. If i could give tickest to the people on the roads 99% of my victims would be men drivers as they dont know how to driver.
nice one Ice Maiden, that's how to drive...no ego..
Been driving for more than a decade and haven't had an accident so far(Touch wood).
Depends on personality & how we react to situations rather than gender.
Males in Australia pay higher premiums to insure their car, than females, as insurance companies consider them high risk drivers. To me that says it all, males are hopless on the roads and the roads will be more safer without them. Of course its usually the young males.
no, you're not so good in math, there is only 1% left for women...duhh
yup, and 100% women....
that guy is mad, a psychopath....he's not a person referred as a driver...
ived been in saudi arabia, the reason why there are high rate of accident is that even kids can drive there. i saw it by my own eyes, he is standing in front of the steering wheel driving a land cruiser and his mother on the passenger seat. what it is?
most of the victims are young drivers. age 10 to 40 are too dangerous driver in saudi arabia, they are locals. and usually they are hitting the other nationalities sometimes intentionally.
be aware, if you happen to go there, think first before you drive...
women drive only in the outskirt of the town. if you are in jeddah, you will see them going to obhur driving a cayene, LC, Audi, etc..very fast. these women maybe a princess or daughter of a very rich family...
but I think we don't change anything in our "big guys'" mentality...even with all these tragic statistic figures:-(
This is a veeheery old bashing subject as it was said before..
and watch this
well you need to watch this also, it made me laugh so hard LOL...that is what every man should get!!!
&feature=related
watch this, it's unbelievable.....weird huh...
&feature=related
&feature=related
The rates are sky high cuz women are not driving, if they were driving i'm sure they would help on reducing the rate....and if u dont agree with me then i would say ur another crazy and careless male driver.
those things happened in Saudi Arabia and if women were allowed to drive in Saudi the number of accident might be tripled...
"BRING IT ON DUDE!!!"
LeBaNeSeMaN said when it comes to driving , ...
when it comes to driving , women are mentally retarded :D
Lebanesman I think you are a big LOOSER, your not only a retarded driver but a retarded person!!! probably all you know is about plastic surgeries, since you have a lot of those around you!
Read this...
12 deaths daily in traffic accidents in Saudi!!!
saudi economic loss from traffic accidents is estimated at about 21 billion riyals annually=5,6 billion$
traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia 4.7%, while it did not exceed 1.7% in each of Australia, England and America
In the latest statistics on traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia indicate that the total road accidents that occurred in Saudi Arabia during 2002 reached 320 thousand car accident and incident rate of 820 per day to 86 a day, and 13 deaths
The Secretary General of the Shura Council, Dr. Saleh Bin Abdullah that the Kingdom spent on the four million car accident about 26 billion riyals, and added : "The Kingdom is at the forefront of the world in terms of human and physical attrition due to traffic accidents.
Azilana! Now why did u have to go and dig this up?
"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.
mata hari , gaining points? now that is funny
this is only the reality, all what women know about driving is : P, R, N , D ! Gas Pedale and Brakes
and all the laws, all the "codes" of driving they are not aware of.
Yes we are cautious because we hate accidents which most of men loves a lot, we don't wanna pay 500 for overspeeding as it is not included in my budget...and we are not in a hurry to practice our excretory system :D
"BRING IT ON DUDE!!!"
the reason why there so many accidents and fatalities in Saudi Arabia is that the woman beside the driver is driving him crazy.....
If lady drivers (as a group) drive badly - why are there so many accidents and fatalities in Saudi Arabia - where women are not allowed to drive?
I would be interested to see "real" statistics on who is involved in the majority of traffic accidents (even on a per capita gender basis) worldwide. I don't know what the results would be but it would be informative.
Signature line > "You can't fix stupid"
even if your comment supposes to be funny, I'm sure even your country fellow ladies will not be happy to read it..it went a bit too far!
So true, don't push it just to earn some points here!!
my friend 2DOGS you're becoming racist to your comment how about your nationality are they all good drivers.please be nice sometimes you're not good driver also.
guys and girls u want proof that ladies are best drivers???
look at the right side of the screen u ll find an ad regarding "drive a car in the USA and more that 200 countries " with a lady in the driver seat.
lebman, you're in trouble man...don't push them....hehehe..
when it comes to driving , women are mentally retarded :D
I wish they make a law like KSA that women are not aloowed to drive :P, This will save us a lot of headache and stupid, very slow, cautious,nervous women drivers
moral:men and women are equal
afshiab...thats what happens when the gender ratios are so skewed....men cant afford to lose even one of the opposite gender here...and definitely not one who is hot in looks...lol

got only one minor accident because the car next to me is texting so he hits my rear bumper...
But got none so far...for three years...is that worse? I'm not a slow driver either..defensive maybe...
"BRING IT ON DUDE!!!"
Yeah Monument I hate few drivers who drive less and stare at me more .. i know am hot in looks so does't mean they just keep staring at me as, its ok Asif is kind with lady drivers. but other men who just follow ur car to see u reached home safe .
Whatever, I am a woman and driving for 13 years with no problem, my only problem are dumb men on the road. They really should ban men drivers and there would be no accidents on the roads, specially in QATAR, with lots of crazy men drivers.

Thanks Asif Khan, I dont know about other women but I am sure a Danger and safe Driver :) two in one pakage lol..
you sir are what is known as a misogynist
but as a general rule, never go to the fast lane unless you are overtaking. That lane is specific for overtaking. Whether you are traveling on the specified speed, still the fact remains that it is the overtaking lane. For the particular situation you mentioned, you have a point but still, as everybody will say, don't you even think of doing it at your convenience, believe me, that lane is for overtaking.
Good evening to you, miss seeing you!
"I'm back, simple as that"
guys lets agree women are better drivers than men
ladies are u happy now???
stop it here please
i am sorry for my remarks
just add it to your experienced...maybe it will make you a good driver or the best title "defensive driver".
but if the choice is between "changing lane" and keeping my self SAFE AND ALIVE...I'll choose the latter.
azilana, I'm very sure that if you turn you signal light the DRIVER behind you and on the center lane will give way.that's one way to apply your signal light..believe me....and you're not suppose to change lane immediately...they will wait to take your move....
been driving for years now and I know THE traffic RULES...
We're not in the Philippines...and you know that!
to drive or maintain a car...
I call it STEREOTYPING...
I said (again) that I would have (given way) if I could but at that point, if I did...it may cause me an accident or even my life?
meaning: even if I use my signals to change lanes, there are vehicles (at almost the same speed as I am) along the middle lane that changing lanes (so just to give way TO THE BLINKING IDIOT) would EITHER cause me to bump another vehicle...GOT IT, NOW?
I'll assume you're a drive too...MALE DRIVERS drive at 90-100kph on roads with speed limits of 80kph.
I drive at max of 78-80kph and if other drivers wants to drive past the 20kph more than SPEED LIMIT ...it's their PROBLEM.
BOTTOMLINE: ROAD COURTESY...!!!!
as you can see in most roads here, there are 3 lanes. if you think you cannot drive fast choose the right lane for slow moving vehicle stay on outer or drive in the middle. the fast lane which is the inner lane is for speeding vehicle or for overtaking eventhough the road sign says 80kph.usually no one pay attention to the 80kph unless it is posted near the camera.
to avoid the blinking lights make a habit of looking at your rear mirror and side mirror so that when you see a speeding car you can safely move aside as early as possible.
make it a habit because we dont know if the driver behind is in a hurry for something we dont know...
all of us dont want accident, and we never protect only ourselves but others too. when i took exam in the phils, caloocan LTO. i read one amazing rules, and now i am practicing it anywhere. it says: " wag mong ipilit kahit ikaw ang tama, kung magdudulot ng aksidente sa sinuman sa inyo" kindly translate na lang...
azilana, you should have let that guy/gal passed. you're in 80kph, you are also allowed to drive in center lane at 80kph. let him/her be caught with an over speeding violation. many lady drivers possesses danger on the roads.
A woman-driver bashing post! Makes me nostalgic, I haven't even heard the term "woman driver" in at least 40 years!
Mandi
azilana, it would not cause you an accident if you will turn your signal to the right. that way the driver behind you will be aware that you will take the center lane an will wait for you to move over. how come the speeding driver was able to overtake from your right side but you told that "but at that point, the possibility of me changing lane may cause me an accident or even my life." he might be rushing due to emergency...
you have to give way though if the driver behind you is exceeding the limit..We are not the police and we cannot stop them.
So better be safe then sorry.
Happy new year and it had been ages I have seen you. hope to see ya soon

men think they are, think being the operative word ;-0
nadt, who said so?
oh yes men are the best drivers, kings of the roads
(*rolls eyes and yawns*)
I repeat:"...but at that point, the possibility of me changing lane may cause me an accident or even my life."
Try reading and come back when you fully deciphered what I mean or meant, ok?
Cheers...
like I said, i don't have any road rage and always practice road courtesy, AND seldom lose temper.
That driver was just unfortunate I was not in a jolly mood....
Cheers!
Although you are correct, don't do it again. You are inviting trouble to yourself.
I guess no man would dare what you did.
As the saying goes "Better be Safe than Sorry".
but at that point, the possibility of me changing lane may cause me an accident or even my life.
My point is, why rush when at the end of the road, when not a long distance would be the roundabout and eventually he would have to slow down.
To be honest, these blinking of lights for you to move aside is plain road discourtesy.
Why not let him pass ?? Remember , the "outside" lane is supposed to be for overtaking only...
at lights, also in the mirror..did u realize that ONLY men drivers are cleaning it like this, using the small finger, digging very, very deeeep... *yukkky!*
have you seen some mean talking/texting while driving?
Just came home from THE PEARL and guess what:
I was driving on the left lane (max speed was supposedly 80kph) when this idiot in a landcruiser tailgated me and started blinking his lights.
To think I'm driving 75-80kph and he wants me to move??? NO WAY JOSE!!!! So, I turned on my hazard lights, slowed down to 70kph and waited what he would do next. As expected, he went to the middle lane and drive beside me, I shouted to him @$%$%^&*O^$ and he sped off.
I'm usually calm and practice road courtesy but sometimes, other drivers are too much...
Life would be so boring without lady drivers. I love watching them srive whilst using mobile phones or doing some makeup at the lights..
I had an experience with a woman driver (hehehe, wooooowwww...) it's not what you think guys...hehehe..
I was driving in Salwa, I was in center lane when suddnely a speeding SUV was rushing on my lane, flashing her headlights. I was wondering why is she doing that where I was in the center lane. I gave her a sign that she has to drive on the fast lane which still she's on my rear and flashing her lights...Until she decided to take the fast lane but before she passed through me her keeps on trash talking....driving is not all about the rules it's the experience and judgment that matters.
oh man, maybe she wanted help from you and by this sign which you gave to her she thought this guy dosent want to help her....that is why she said trash words to you...=P
just kidding, well this happens here, I agree with you =)
"Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché"
lol Boston ... =P
"Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché"
yeah speed limit is different habibi...80 is for those who are moving in middle and slow lane, but for high speed lane you have to maintain 80 when you approach Speed Camera ;)
(hope you know that Speed/Brake technique also known as SBT =P )
Fragileheart, waisay you started it ;)
"Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché"
If the right lane is 80, the middle lane is 160 and the left lane is 240 km/h.
is the speed limit different on left or middle lane?
when the limit is set to 80 i will drive as per the rules.
stick to topic (",)
are you sure...anytime?? =P
Bohat wada biyaaan DIA hai aap ne ... =P
"Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché"
anytime..BEE
Merci Madame FragileHeart (ThankYou Madam in french language) =)
"Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché"
BEE...great ..lol...liked it..
Whether it's nervousness or total obliviousness - I don't care what you drive or what gender you espouse or what nationality your passport says you have. If you're not willing to do the speed limit, get out of the fast lanes AND use your mirrors before you try to change lanes. And your turn signals are not decorations - they're there for a purpose.
Also, check your tail lights occasionally - in Canada you're ticketed/fined for driving with turn signals, brake lights and back up lights that don't function.
And get in the right lane before you're 20 yards from the signal - usually you have time beforehand, if you're a prudent and responsibile driver.
And of course, the pet peeve, "you're a wonderful driver so your children don't have to be in car seats or restrained with seatbelts" - hope that comforts you when they're dead.
Signature line > "You can't fix stupid"
Well this is general concept but you cant say that all women drivers sucks or all men drivers are king of the road. i have seen women driving brilliantly (esp those women having Camry =P) on road but at the same time I have also experienced women hitting a stationary object while driving carelessly. Same case for men too... Yeah but this is a fact that majority men are good drivers (maybe because they are hugeeeee in numbers =P )
Anyways , wishing to see more women drivers on road ... =P
"Pour vivre heureux, vivons caché"
Yeah, and they don't know what drives the valves on each cylinder to open and close at the right time. Do you?
women drivers only knows how to drive. doesnt know the directions(geography), traffic signs, no idea about car engine e.g. check water in radiator, check battery water, check oil, check brake fluid, changing of tires :D
So someone says women don't drive well and now women are labelling men as lousy drivers. I made my comment in jest but I guess very easily offended people are around so I should just zip it.
As for stupid drivers, stupidity doesn't discriminate on the basis of sex, colour, religion etc. It can invade anyone, anytime so stupid drivers can be found among both males and females.
**** Aal Izz Well****
women drivers, don't mess with them. either they will kill you with their smiles or they will yell from the top of their lungs.
blame it all to yourself because she is still a woman to me.
progress
i am a fast driver ...i ssee many men suddenly coming in my way in retarded way..some men drive in stupid way as they are nervous and scared to death..it doesnt mean i should make my opinion abt all men .that all men are stupid drivers.there are exception..
its not cautious but its nervousness simple as that women are lot more nervous on the road thats what i feel
being cautious and being nervous are two different things
lady driver are very much professional that men because we fully understand what driving is all about... and thank you whyteknight, you are right we are more cautious than men because we valued our life more than men do...So don't you dare sized up what lady driver can do... And yes, some men are stupid driver coz they think they can drive crazy on the road... If all the drivers here just follows what proper driving is all about I am very sure road accident will be less or no more. Traffic signs are just there , drivers just need to follow and obey. Be on your lane, be at the the maximum speed asked and Driving will be easy for everyone. Thank you!
the third comment was hilarious i can't stop laughing imagine if there are lady taxi drivers that will be the best option to suicide
Oh yes all countries should be like Saudi.. ban women drivers and there would be no accidents.
So surely Saudi must be the best country in the world to drive following this 'logic'!
hey, hey ladies don't get angry but this is the truth
i m talking from my own personal experience
hey,
legal_pad are you a gold bug ?

For what I understand, you did learn to drive at Ms. Daisy driving school? It took you Six months and 2 weeks before you understood first gear from reverse. LOL J/K
My first official license was at age 15, hauling farming and cargo trailers for my father in 2-3/4 ton pickup trucks.
Yet, in my own experience some females are worthless in their own driving manners here in Doha. just because their own rich husbands bought them those expensive SUV and cars.
They think they own the roads, not all of them; but the great majority. Just send them back for intensive remedial driving school.
Not ALL women are lousy drivers, just like ALL men don't have road rage, however I think someone should tell that to the Filipina I was next to at Sana roundabout with the Gulf times on her knee, perusing special offers from a supermarket :P
Women drivers are too cautious and drive too slow which makes the men drivers angry. Once the male drivers are angry on the road, they get involved in road rage incidents.
Seriously though, Women just need to relax while driving, they are too tensed and concious about the whole thing. Just my observation.
**** Aal Izz Well****
