Question:
Friday night on I 44 in St Louis there was almost a nasty little wreck. 4 wheeler who was probably drunk (or could have been just an idiot) running like he was Mario Andretti in the last lap cut off a big car and slammed on the brakes for absolutely no reason. The driver of the car did this impressive little jig manuver and managed to dance that rig right around the 4 wheeler with mere inches to spare (thank God I was a lane over and about 5 car lengths back when this happened.)
Well no sooner than the accident was avoided a few drivers got on the radio and made some comments about what an excellent piece of driving was accompished in avoiding an accident. Comments went like "Man that guy sure can drive", "I dont know if I could have done what he did", etc. After a few minutes the sweetest female voice comes back and says "Why thank you guys." The silence that followed was priceless
Man, woman, or monkey. If you can do the job then you are welcome to share the road with me anytime.
BTW: She sure impressed me!!!!!!!!! Good work driver.

Answer:

Gotta agree with UT on this one!
It always impresses me when I see a female driver running down the road.
What's even more impressive is to watch a female back into a spot that some males would not even attempt!
My "hat's off" to all the female drivers out there also! Keep up good work!

Answer:

Nice one UT.
We do our lil ol best

Answer:



Answer:


I remember when I was driving, I was just outside the pilot in Phx, asking on the radio if there was any parking there. The facetious reply that followed was, "well, yeah, there is, sugar, but none that YOU will ever be able to get into, so just keep driving." I did not respond, and waited a few minutes, got my fuel and quietly backed into my spot. When the cat calls started, (which I almost ALWAYS ignored) I waited for the A**hole that said that to begin with.... and he said "dammitgurl! What do they call you?"
I responded, "Sugar--you remember, the one who wouldn't be able to get into ANY spots here?" The other drivers were giving it to him as I shut my radio off.
I was NEVER one to show off, EVER, I am not built that way. I believed that keeping a low profile and keeping to myself was the safest and smartest thing to do. BUT sometimes it was helpful (to me) to put idiots in their place.... JMHO.

Answer:

That was a good post u-turn. Wish I was there when the silence filled the air.
I get a kick out of watching these women compete in this industry and to teh best of there ability and come out looking good. See my wife is a good shot with a rifle usally better than me. And the reason why is simply men think we have something to prove. Women just prove it.

Answer:

We have nothing to prove anymore. We just simply just do our job, and try not to for most not to show off.

Answer:



Answer:


I have to say.... I don't get it It doesn't take any more for a female driver to run down the road than it does a male driver.
Backing is pretty much the same thing. It is a mental thing, not physical. Now, if she did it without power steering, I could see being impressed.
Are you impressed at the sight of a female driving a car or perhaps a pick-up car?
But I understand what you mean.... When I was my sons age, if I had saw a woman driving I big car, I would have probably fainted. In this day and time, it doesn't even draw his attention when he sees a woman driver.

Answer:

After riding through the Petro in Hammond. La. one night looking for a parking space, I grabbed my mic and asked if there was any parking at the Pilot across the street. Sure enough, here they all came back saying, "Here! Here's a parking space. Right beside me!" I thought I'd stir em up a bit and calmly said " Now boys, I can't park anywhere except a pull through. I pull a flatbed and ya'll KNOW we can't back up." I pulled through the fuel isle like I always do and made the trip around the lot looking at the parking spots. There were a couple but I was tired and really didn't feel like doing any serious maneuvering. So I was about to pull back out and go find my delivery location 2 streets over when I happened to look right in front of me at the dirt lot by the cb shop across the street going out. I pulled in there and made a set up to back blindside in between two other cars. I dumped the air off my rear tandems and had a spot mirror on the right side, so I backed right in and when I stopped I was perfectly straight. The guys on the radio were still raving when I told them goodnight and went to bed. Didn't take a lot to impress them. LOL
