I was in a total of 2 accidents during my driving career.... They were both in a PARKING LOT.
Exhibit A) McDonalds parking lot: A guy hit me while he was messing around with his girlfriends stuff in the back seat. YES, he was looking back with no hands on the wheel because his girlfriend wanted something.
Exhibit B) I backed into a car.
One example of why women can be a problem to drivers, and one example of stupid teen driving. Why don't we just say that everyone sucks at driving aside from professional racers and stunt drivers?
I've also had really close calls on the street though, all with women drivers too.
Close call 1) I was driving down the right lane of a 2 lane road (2 lanes each way). There was a lady pulling out of a parking lot who was trying to turn right in the direction I was going. I didn't think much of it but she pulls out right when I reach the drive way and decides to turn into the left lane too. Because of that decision, she drives me into opposite traffic because I'm trying to avoid being t-boned across the street. If she had hit me, she would have put me into the middle of both inside lanes blocking traffc. And if there was traffic there, I may have gotten seriously injured.
Close call 2) I was driving home on residential roads and I pull up to a stop sign. I start to turn right after my stop. (It wasn't a full stop I'll admit it, but I checked both ways and was sure it was safe to turn.) There was a woman driver wanting to turn left. Obviously there should be room for cars from perpendicular lanes to turn into different lanes. It's not like she was trying to get into the same lane as me, she was only trying to turn onto the street I was one. I started to turn since I was sure she wasn't going to swerve into my lane or anything when she SWERVES INTO MY LANE. Actually, she turned into the middle of the street and blocked traffic. She had to back up and realign herself to drive down the right side of the street.
