turkish women drivers are generally not quick and their decisions on the road are in hesitation mood.

this is my observation. of course there are many talented women drivers in Turkey. for instance: Burcu Çetinkaya, a beautiful, charming, and talented rally driver.

This is a universal problem - even I moan about women drivers and old drivers!! I suffered from "road rage" this morning stuck behind a woman with her kids.

However, the reason for this is (again!) due to a bit of sexism . The worst women drivers tend to be housewives with children. They usually only get to drive short distances (i.e. the school run) and, whenever they are with their husbands he always insists on driving. They may occasionally get to drive if he is drunk

Therefore they do not get enough experience on the roads. Blame yourselves boys! lol


No,i dont think that is the reason,i guess because women are more careful so they usally tend to secure driving,WHİCH sometimes cause problems specially in the crowd
And i guess its not a matter of housewives,its a matter of mothers,they tend to be more careful for the sake of their kids
Well,actually,i hate women drivings too,driving me NUTS on the roads

Quoting Roswitha:

If you are a female driver and pass a dolmus, taxi or truck be sure their ego will wounded and they will try to do something extremely stupid to show you who is the king of the road if he catches up with you.



I am afraid there are some jerks like that in the UK too. I drive quite a sporty car and frquently find myself in "contest" on the roads with male egotists. Mostly I let them pass or just get out of their way....but one in five times, if I am in the right mood, I take them on.

It is a dangerous thing to do because their egos will STOP AT NOTHING to get enough speed to pass you One guy followed me all the way to my home once just because I had the audacity to overtake him. Very sinister.

The best bit is revving up with them at the traffic lights - and BEATING THEM



İts same here too,but with dolmus, taxi or truck drivers,if you are a good driver you get their admiration and congratulate you of how good driver you are,and some dont accept it too lol
İf you are bad or did something wrong,you take that look 'woman is driving'
But,with regular male drivers when they find you good driver ,they race you,and they dont stop till they pass you...mostly i dont give them that pleasure,except if im close to my home,i slow doown and make them pass.
İ guess it has something to do with their MANLY ego,they just dont accept a woman passing them !

İ was going to attend a conference with my manager each of us took his car 'we were in groups',i found my manager started to race me ,i've took it,i passed him once ,he passed me the other,till we were near the conference,i've let him take it,he congratulated me,and told me that im a good driver even i didnt win
İ told him,i know,i just let you because you are THE BOSS lol
