First of all, who in the world spread the rumor that - females don't know driving. Even if a person is driving well, people's attitude change as soon as they find out its a 'she' driving
Secondly, I learnt in my childhood - always overtake from right, is it a mistake - cause I see people overtaking from any side
And what the hell is wrong in driving one after the other, why cant people drive in a single lane. How many days or hours you save by zig-zag-zuin-zuin, or footpath driving
I have been driving in a small town - huge roads - hardly any traffic. And it is 6 years back story :-) life was simple then, people were never in hurry. Recently (actually not so recent, been few months) I bought an activa - much heavier than my sweet old scooty - so heres my experience about driving in Bangalore.
At times I feel OMG, how will I survive this drive, I wish the bus driver does not crush me - can the driver see my small gadi from up there. Then there are times when auto rickshaws are irritating everyone with their rates, and I have my bike to travel. People on the road shout/stare as if they are driving so perfectly and I ruined their drive. That look that says oh she is a female, aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh - who told you zig-zag above 80 km/hr on a busy road is good driving. There are those off days also - when you can just take your vehicle and go for a drive, wow that fresh air was so much necessary for the mood uplift. The freedom a vehicle gives to you - you want to go for a movie - shopping - going late to office - you don't have to argue with auto drivers - heaven. The feeling when you move ahead of everyone because there were small paths between vehicles just enough for your activa to move - precious. The day you drive to rangashankara thru banerghatta main road, diary circle or shastri nagar/shanti nagar, malleshwaram - the confidence, you can do anything. Its fun - pleasant - scary - confidence booster and necessary all at the same time.
