Default Nearly collided with a Mini!!

I nearly got into a head-on collision today with a Mini!! She decided to immediately turn left on green when I was just entering the intersection! Slammed on the breaks, tires squealed and I stalled....my heart was racing, I was so scared; I stopped inches away from them and they wouldn't have noticed me if I hadn't honked!!! This is my first time honking my new baby's horn.... and WHY does it have to be an Asian female driver in the Mini? That just perpetuate the stereotype about Asian female drivers, and we're not all like that! I hate that!

I'm just SO GLAD we didn't collide, and no damage. But STILL SO shocking. Just had to vent... I'm alright now. Thanks for listening!

Being an Asian, I am also sad to hear that the driver was Asian female, but of all the Asian females I know, none of them drive well, and many don't even drive at all.

Good to hear that you're okay. But both sexes and all races will do inattentive things. Be thankful you have a car with great brakes!!!

Sorry to say this, but the last bad winter up here we had I saw more asain females stuck on the side of the road in BMWs than any other. I have actually seen a woman driving and reading a BOOK while on the highway! Don't worry, she was white...

Sorry. Not at all surprised! I've had them come to a complete stop on an entrance ramp because they were looking at a map while traffic is trying to speed up to merge. Typical and in Northern VA, it’s the worst I’ve seen anywhere. However, I'm not indicating that "Women" as a gender can't drive, but there are a lot truths to stereotypes. Unfortunately for me, every accident or near accident has been is was caused by a female driver. The worst in my area are the moms in the SUV's or Mini Vans that do 50 MPH in the passing lanes, don't check their blind spots, don’t use blinkers, and flick people the finger when someone returns the favor. The worst part is it’s usually a car full of kids....Then again, I guess I'd be pissed at the world too if I had to drive mini-van. Ohhhhhhhh! Just kidding.....

Wow! Alls well that ends well-glad the collision was a near miss!
Had the same thing happen to me in my Civic with my little girl asleep in the back seat, practice drifting in Mario Kart saved us 'cause thats what i had to do to avoid a huge work truck and a 16 foot trailer carrying four-wheelers. It does test your heart!
Really glad you and baby are ok!

This is the reason why I want a motorcycle, but will never actually own one.

I can drive as carefully as I can but losing my life to someone who is not paying attention doesn't sound like something I want to do...

I was going to say driving in Vancouver is your problem lol. I almost got run over by some teenage Asian (male) last year in a cross walk. It was kind of funny because he made a lot tire screeching and all the locals started yelling and heckling the kid. I half wish I had gotten hit, kid was driving a brand new Audi A8, I'm pretty sure his parents are loaded.
