<h3 class="title">Women can't drive</h3>

<p>So on my way to work today I had some fun experiences with women drivers.  Some minivan driving soccer mom neglected to check her blind spot and damn near drove me off the road while trying to switch into my lane.  Also, here's a refresher on how to turn into two lane streets: You turn into your <em>inside lane</em>!  If you're turning right onto the same street I'm turning left onto don't turn into the far lane and nearly hit me you jackass.  Now granted I may not know my way around some places, and honestly I don't care, that's why there's Mapquest.  However I do know the basic rules of the road that some people often forget it seems.  Such as signaling...don't just cut in front of me, let me know.  Don't hit your brakes about 10 yards in front of a turn and <em>then</em> turn your blinker on, that's almost pointless, I should run you over.  Remember, it should blink at least three times before you reach your turn.</p>
