Nigerian Women Are Bad Drivers!!! by Rapmoney(m): 3:07am On Apr 20, 2015 |
This is one issue that has not ceased to baffle me! Why are most Nigerian women bad drivers? It is very common for you to see a woman who has driven a car for almost 7 years still messing up on our roads big time!!! Have u ever been in a public vehicle whereby the driver of the vehicle in front of the one you are in makes a silly driving mistake? Just listen to the comments those in the vehicle you are in would make ![]() ![]() 1) Most women hardly watch out if another vehicle is coming before entering the road when coming from an opposite direction ![]() 2) Most women hardly make use of their side mirrors and reverse mirror to see the activities of vehicles taking place behind them, especially when there's traffic jam. That's why they might swerve unexpectedly because they don't care if vehicles are coming behind them! Some are just okay that their car is moving ![]() 3) Even those that have driven for years are fond of this! They drive slowly in the middle of the road instead of using the slow lane on the road; some would even occupy the speed lane, yet, driving slowly! For ur mind, u feel say na armoured tank u dey drive abi? ![]() 4) Most women hardly make use of their indicators when they intend parking or when they want to swerve into another lane! Very terrible!...and you have been driving for years? ![]() 5) There's a driving rule that states that 'You don't enter a major road with the back of your car when reversing'. I see women on daily basis flagrantly ignoring this! When your vehicle get bashed, you will be the first to shout! 6) One of the qualities of a good driver is to accept and appreciate advice and corrections from other road users when you make a driving mistake...but reason properly before you render such corrections to a driver who has made a silly mistake, especially, if she is a woman! ![]() 6) I bet you, most Nigerian women don't even know how a car works; how its movement takes place. All they know is that it is moving and they are behind the steering-wheel! When you know about car parts and can detect a problem in your car easily, it would help to reduce the rate at which you drive badly. It will save others the stress associated with your car breaking down on the road when you could have fixed it earlier on. These make me wonder whether vehicles were specifically made for men before the intrusion of women ![]() Views are welcomed! Share your opinion please. 17 Likes 1 Share |

They seem to want to show men they're superior or better drivers. Often time,the way some drive makes me wonder... |

Some men are worse than most women in driving, poor decision making, slow in thinking, driving slowly on fast lane, improper parking in parking lots, unable to reverse properly, tyres not properly aligned after parking etc. I can go on and on. The point is, not just women some men have no business being behind the wheel. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

I can't categorically say women are bad drivers but I make it a point of duty not to challenge a woman driving a CUV or SUV especially the land cruisers and prado owners, they are very aggressive and willing to cause trouble because they feel they can easily call whoever they want to call and stir up trouble. 4 Likes |

It makes me mad when people attribute poor driving skills to women. Anyone could be a bad driver, male or female. Nigerians generally are annoying drivers. I think women are actually 'unnecessarily careful' which men may see as clumsy. Feel free to stand at your choice road tomorrow, take a look at the cars being driven by male/females _ come back and tell me which is in a better condition. I heard that people even prefer to buy used cars driven by a female: because they believe it hasn't seen demons. ![]() So saying 'na woman' when a mistake is made is just a boring stereotype. I've had men chase me...while flashing me, just to give me the thumbs up. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

Rapmoney: and this your rebuttal is sensible @something better? I laugh in hispanic. You stated your opinion and I stated mine. How exactly did you draw your inference? Or is this a case of random/convenient sampling, thus your facile assertion? How many percent(%) of the Nigerian female populace have you encountered while driving? What is the ratio of your location or whatever road you ply to the entire Nigeria? What exactly do you know 'bout your vehicle movement, uncle? It's a known fact that men are more handy. 'Being careful while driving isn't in any way relative to "auto-mechanical" knowledge. Once again, anyone can be a careless driver...i'm not the only one that has stated that on this thread. So, I wonder what makes mine not "something better" Cc: lalasticlala. 24 Likes 1 Share |

I use to be of the opinion that Nigerian ladies were good drivers, untill i started having some experience on the road with women on the steering wheel you dare not overtake or try to get on the road when coming from an adjoining streets or lanes. Its a shame i use to see ladies as a patient driver, but i have been proven wrong several times. I hope i wont be like that when i start driving. Not all women though. I have be been inside a car while a lady is driving several times, it wasnt bad. |

They shout too much even when they are wrong. It can be irritating. That said, I've seen women drive madly. Some will make you wonder if they are truly females. |

If you are in traffic and the woman driving in your front turns on her windscreen wiper even though it is not raining, beware soul brother.... She is about to trafficate left.

Why this question? Seriously why? What has gender got to do with driving? Seems you are bored @Ops.... my mum is a great driver as well as most of her friends, same as popsy! most traffic offenders are male, I seldom see female begging LASMA or POLICE.... it's really no issue! both gender drive well and also mess up big time sometimes. 9 Likes 1 Share |
