Chatty Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm trying to encourage my friends to learn driving. The answers I got are the same... "I think women are the bad drivers" I was a jaw dropper for a while... I don't think I'm that bad, you might hear my swearing words so many times but mostly i just calm (jai yen). I talked to a friend of mine yesterday, she asked me how did I take new car (nong Meena) back home. My answer was... "I just drove from there to home". Her face was surprised "How did you do it? Not afraid? It's so new? How did you learn function in very briefly time" I think car has same mainly system, so it's not that hard for me to learning by doing lol, don't know why she was so surprised... plus it's my car, if i don't drive it who will? She said she couldn't do that never ever... I told them it's not that hard... I could remember the 1st day I learnt driving, my teacher told me to go forward, backward...turn left, turn right, then drive on street, I mean, Pratunam, Victory monument, Dindaeng, Ratchada, Ramkhamhaeng, in that day. (Without driving license) so newbie. I drove everyday between home, workplace and university, for a month, and go everywhere.... make stronger skill...I told them they will feel driving is same as you eating. They still scared... Don't know how to make them get up and believe in themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how to make them get up and believe in themselves. It's also a great excuse for never trying anything either. If you already figure that you'll fail why go to all of the hard work to prove yourself right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I tried launching a web site especially for women drivers back in 2005. Unfortunately it kept crashing... (I'm here all week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn_arts Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I think it depends on the person. Like half of my friends can drive and they do that regularly. But my other friends who don't drive is simply because they're afraid they're gonna crash and burn...one individual is so clumsy that she always stumbles on an even surface...my friends who don't drive just count on their bf, or future bf, to drive them around. I've been driving for 3 years now and I have to say I really like driving. It keeps me calm and I like having my own space when I commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that the half of your friends who can drive are men and the half that can't drive are women.... Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 p'Bill, I don't get it. The best way to guarantee that you'll fail is to not try. If I think I can't do it I won't try which means I can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn_arts Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 @English_Bob Actually, I'm sad to say, but I have only 2 guy friends. And, yes, they drive. So, I didn't include them into this discussion. All my friends are girls because my faculty consists of 318 ppl; 300 girls, 18 guys...Yes, it's true.

bigKus Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Agree that most women driving suck.. they take right lane (for fast car) but slow drive. They slow making decision go or not go when the come to no traffic light intersection.. And those women are not me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand's future... 318 university students. 18 men. 9 (almost certainly gay). The remaining 9? At least are lazy cheats.. Thailand is run by straight men, but the majority of well-educated people are women and gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
