Why can't foreigners drive properly !!!

KINGofHEARTS · 10-06-2008 9:14pm #1

Anytime I seem to get cut off while driving its ALWAYS by foreigners, last week some black woman sauntering along in the slow lane comes straight in on top of me in the fast lane, no indicator, no look...nothing, I jammed on and skidded to about 2 feet of her car (which was already full of dents) I pulled along side her at the next lights and she's lookin at me as if nothing happened and she hadn't just nearly caused a major crash

honestly, whats the story with these eejits, where did they learn to drive and how on earth did they get a license, I don't know how they drive in Africa but they wanna fuukin snap happy on the roads over here, how are they even let on the roads

motors forum, and i can see banning sticks being brought out on this one.

In before lock, and it is the persistence of unaccompanied L-Drivers on the road that is the bigger problem.

Just because someone is black doesn't make them foreign!

Back on topic:
In one way it could be to do with the fact that they are used to driving on the opposite side of the road in most instances. Imagine how most drivers here would get on if they drove on the left side of the car on the right side of the road. Failing that it could be because it is so easy to get a license over here!

Ooooohh someone is gonna be banned over this!!

Exactly, an African woman. It has nothing to do with their nationality, it's their gender.

But hang on, Michael Schumacher can drive pretty well, and he's foreign. In fact, from the perspective of an Irish person, almost everyone else in the world is a foreigner! :eek:

You almost had me with your convincing, well-thought-out argument in your first post, but now I'm all confused...

I understand to a point, black does NOT mean foreign but I have to say I have never come across a black woman who was competent on the road. I don't understand it all. I would never say all women are bad drivers or all black people are bad drivers, but black women just seem to be terribly unconcerned drivers. I have been cut in on more than one occasion like the OP.

Btw, I know many "foreigners" who are much better drivers than a lot of muppets on our roads.

KINGofHEARTS · 10-06-2008 9:23pm

Nothing to ban over, just stating a factual story of what has happened to me a good few times,

and you know by looking at them that they are foreign

polish for example, spot them a mile away, nothing wrong with them ... just a fact that you know one as soon as you see them

I have been cut up a good few times by foreigners and just thought I'd post it here as to why it always seems to be them

Not great drivers in Italy. That is all.

See, black women drive like this: ba-doom-doom-cha, ba-doom-doom-cha, and white women drive like this: dee-di-dee-di-dee, dee-di-dee...

I always thought Italian drivers must be excellent - the fact that they constantly fly around like maniacs, yet live to fly around like maniacs another day must surely be a testament to their quick reflexes and skillful control.

Actually, I have it on pretty good authority that th' t'k urr jurrrbs.

TequilaMockingBird · 10-06-2008 9:26pm

Dammit.

Ok ok, the secrets out... we, as a nation, hired them to try to get you off the road, we find its the best solution for racist people.

We have failed people.

The majority of Irish drivers are f*cking sh*te.

Ok, thats a nicer way to say it then, but this woman WAS FOREIGN... without a doubt, one of those big clourful dresses and hats to match, hardly the apparell of a dubliner

He drives on a track though, so that gets rid of the problem of a "wrong side":D

Who the Blacks or the foreigners? You don't seem to consider poles as foreigners, or maybe they are a different type of foreigner? In which case please specify who cuts you up in your original post.

Yes, black people lack the driving gene. It's science!

I would imagine most already have a licence before they come to live & work in ireland. I work with a couple of spanish people and they always ask about english phrase or words, they can't really speak great english so i can't understand how they can read road signs.

I think most irish in this country are terrible drivers, especially women. Maybe I’ll be accused of being sexist.

I'd agree with there though it's risky to say it. Maybe they are inexperienced and only started learning. Doesn't excuse it though.

Slow lane? Fast lane? Pick up your rules of the road and it's a driving lane and an overtaking lane. Maybe you are an excellent driver OP but your post shows a lack of some knowledge

I lack knowledge because I didn't use those terms, shut up will ya, don't be so ridiculous, you obviously got the just of wat I was saying though didn't ya..or is it didn't you...which phrase would you prefer

Not you, anyway, I'm sure. No chance! It's not as though you tarred an entire race and/or population of a continent with the same brush, or anything...
