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.
Mainly uneducated taxi, dolmus and truck drivers have a very philosophical approach to driving: "Allah decides on everything, hence why should I worry to drive reasonably." That is Turks all drive fully believing that whatever they do "Allah" will protect them. And you "non-Muslims" are ill fated!

Iran: Female Race Car Drivers Find Freedom Behind the Wheel

Women are second-class citizens in Iran, barred from singing or dancing in public, unable to travel without a permit. Car racing is another no-no for Iranian females, but that hasn’t stopped two women from finding emancipation behind the wheel…

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

It must be some kind of chimpanzee left-over trait (one of many I'm afraid!).. Feminists simply need to show these idiots where their place is. Sorry ladies, we have work to do!
