I do James bond driving a lot of times but I don't do it where female drivers are on d wheels. Some men on wheels drive like women though. Their reflexes are not very sharp. I don't mean 2 be rude 2 d ladies but I've noticed that d ladies don't use their side mirrors at very critical times as much as men. Nevertheless, there are still ladies that drive so well on d road..

My advice: when next it happens, don't blame d lady. Just blame urself. If u get involved with a lady in an accident, most people will blame u even if u are very right. Pls be more careful next time

I think its just a lagos driving syndrome" recklessness! but with the new
Method of issuing drivers license in Lagos which involves a thorough test on the driver,
Sluggish and reckless driving will reduce sooN.

Re: Why Do Nigerian Women Drive Sluggishly? by Nobody: 2:06pm On Mar 04, 2013
Most of the slow drivers I encounter are old men grin

@ top a lot of females do not drive as much as males so their confidence and experiences can be generally lower
Many times they have children on board which can also account for the differences

seems am not the only one who has noticed this in the recent times... whenever you see a slow moving car/jeep in front of you, you can almost predict the driver is a female.
The road will be devoid of any traffic, yet the car in front of you will just be sluggish for no apparent reason. Some men drive like this as well.
After sunday service yesterday,a lady while reversing her pathfinder removed the front bumper of a parked honda element belonging to another lady,i didn't wait to witness the unfolding drama....

[size=14pt]Not sluggishly, annoyingly sluggish and when you pull up to them to overtake them, they look at you like you are a monster. MSCHEW[/size]

The women you're referring to are probably learners cos women that drive frequently are usually beasts on the road...eg, my mom angry angry

I've heard so much about women's so-called unskilled driving... Not saying its true or not, but at least women have less road crashes than men, right? And for me, arriving at my destination in one piece is the most important thing, even if you'll be labeled sluggish driver.

When most guys see that it is a woman that is about to overtake them, they immediately increase their speed and start squeezing face.

My question is "why do men like to drive in the middle of the road or the demarcations?"

My mum drives faster and sharper than 85% of Nigerian men. I know it and most people who've been lucky to be driven by her also attest to it. I guess its her no-nonsense attitude that reflects in her driving.
However, I agree with you that SOME women are more laid back in their driving, it doesnt mean they're sluggish. Ideally, there should be speed limit depending on which road you are, so any speed is acceptable provided it is within the limit.

YES!! I can totally relate with your first statement grin grin

as for your question, I think you're referring to all those bus drivers, they're the ones who usually take up the whole road.
