The women behind the driving wheels

Yes, I am talking about women. And the ones behind the fancy dresses, but the ones behind the driving wheels. And not about all of them, but about the couple (of tens) me and "my institute" have observed.

This morning, on my way to the office, when I turned left from Fabrica de Glucoza on Dimitrie Pompei (the famous semi-semaphored pseudo intersection near Barbu Vacarescu) a (young) lady, driving a Q7, came in my way, after shes had just overtaken the motorcade at the semaphore and she was heading madly (the lady and the car) towards me, on the opposite lane. I had some space to go round her through he right but, either because I took the turn too widely (I was the first in line and did not want to block the intersection in Barbu), either because this is what I tend to do in such situations, I start driving throughout the central part of my lane and accelerated towards her. Well, the lady could not believe her eyes at first, than she slowed down, only after that shes stopped and exactly at the time I stopped in front of her (around 1m) and I wanted give her some space by overlapping the curb (edge of the lane) - what does she do? She angrily shows me the finger! I cannot do anything else but thank her for the thinking theme and for the blog material ...

I think a lot of the women behind the steering wheels suffer from the "driving woman" complex (fixation). Yes, certainly - they (the women) will say that us, the men (actually only a part of them) determined this phenomenon. And they would be right. But there are many other ways to prove that they (the men) are not right besides stubbornly proving this in traffic.

Affected by the general (so they think) opinion of men that women do not belong behind the driving wheel and spurred by a mad wish to show us that things are not at all like that and they are our equals and we are their equals in traffic, they started differentiating not only through the delicacy of their driving or through the shyness in maneuvering their small or big cars but also through an acute lack of tolerance towards the exceptions of rules and not only by that.

More about this when I am a little more rested ...
