Female Drivers

I am one.... and very likely being cursed and swore at by others too though I hope I do not make such mistakes.

Morning drive to go back after dropping hubby to work. There is this car that is driving on the last lane.. slowly. So I cut into the 2nd lane instead but I noticed she probably realised she is not driving at a speed suited for the last lane hence she signalled to cut into the 2nd lane. From my rear view mirror, she had on her signal light since Tanjong Pagar area on the ECP flyover and finally managed to cut in near the Esplanade!! I noticed her 'P' plate so I guessed she is probably not confident enough. Then again, if so, why drive on the last lane to begin with?

Then I went to run some errand at Compasspoint. On the way back, I met yet another interesting female driver. At a traffic light, she went to the right lane while I decided to go to the left lane, partly because I will still need to stick to the left lane at the next traffic light and I can see road work at the right lane for the next traffic light. While both cars are the first line of vehicles, waiting for the red light to turn green, that female driver kept inching forward, I bet she probably wants to cut me once the light turn green. I always find this behaviour funny, does inching forward every few seconds really help you? Not to be complacent, both car brands are the same BUT my car is definitely more superior in terms of power. Unless you think my skill is really so poor as not to be able to accelerate faster than you on a straight road? What are you thinking? Anyway, yes, my vehicle surged forward once the light turned green hence she can only cut in behind me. And guess what, she needs to turn left at the next traffic so why she cannot move into the left lane to begin with? She was all along infront of me except I decided to move into the left lane at the traffic junction in anticipation of my route and the road work.

So are female drivers really worse of drivers?
