I had to slam on the breaks or else I would have been t-boned. We just have to count our lucky stars bro. I still try to fathom what went through her head....no luck.

I guess at this point all you can do is just be thankful nothing hapened. Still scary though to know you can being absolutely nothing wrong and still be in danger. Stuff like this is why I have close to no faith in most of the public. A lot seem to simply be stupid. Plain as that.

I think the machismo and anger towards women in this thread is getting a little out of control. Sure, there are bad female drivers out there, but there are equally boneheaded male drivers as well, who are texting or on cell phones, yada yada. My old neighbor nearly killed a guy on a motorcycle with his SUV. Everyone has an anecdote but just because you know a crazy female driver doesn't mean they all are.

:iagree:

I have a neighbor who drives a 745il and he is borderline retarted, I think. We lve in a very old neighborhood with extemely narrow streeet and this genius has almost taken me out three times due to his driving at excessive speed. It happened this morning again, so I am going to go have a chat tonight. i am bringing my two pomeranians as back up.

Crappy driving is evenly distributed across gender lines.

I watched a few minutes of this but I had to stop. It is too much knowing these folks live and drive in my country.

Good luck with your jack-hole tonight.

OP I had the same thing happen to me in my Z near the office where I work. I pulled out of a 7-11, pulled up to a light. When it turned green, I looked both ways and started out. Before I got all the way into the intersection, some dude in a PT Cruiser almost clipped me while running the light. He was on his phone and had the nerve to give ME the stink-eye after nearly t-boning me when I had the right of way.

I have come to notice that my Z is invisible. I'm almost side swipe everytime I take the Z out, its like maybe its to low and they dont see you next to them and just come on over. You need to drive aggressively.

Thanks, Mt Tam. In-person confrontation is not my strong suit and it makes me nervous. I need to do it, though, as this guy is oblivious/inconsiderate/mentally deficient/dangerous.

yah, similar thing happend to me about a week or so ago when some hellaflushatoilet MR2 wanted to race me and i just slowed down to deny his invite. intersection ahead for us had a green light but then some dumbF just blew a redlight and went right through the intersection at 45+. if i would've responded to the ricor MR2, he wouldve been t-boned.

i had to really slow down to make sure the light wasn't broken or something when i approached the intersection. :icon17:

mr.onzedge- your dogs appear as happy as you were when you got the supersports! :D hahaha.

How dare you go when you have a green light! Jerk

Onzedge I have the same problem on the street to get to our coldisack (I have never spelled that before lol) cars park on both sides so it is a little tight, and then people just drive in the middle of the road to the point where you have to pull over and let them go. If you don't you would either hit them or a parked car. Let alone if they went the speed limit and stayed on their side we would both fit. Bit that is just toooo much to ask.
