Sacrilege, since you are a female, I am especially glad that you agree. There is definitely something about women drivers that causes them to be spaced out and not notice what others are trying to do on the road. A good driver not only knows what he wants to do, but also understands what everybody else on the road in front or in back is going to do next. When he makes a move, he takes into account how it will affect those others.

As an example, when he makes a left turn, he will move all the way to the left as close to the yellow dividing line as he can, so there is room for others to go around him on his right. This way, he does not block traffic. When he makes a right turn, he will first get far to the right. This prevents blocking traffic, as before, but also prevents somebody else from trying to squeeze by and also make a right turn at the same time, so that he will hit that other person when he begins his own turn. Unfortunately, I constantly see people who make right turns by first moving to the left and then making a wide loopy turn. They have no clue how many people they are confusing, impeding, and almost hitting. I don’t know where they learned this left, then right method. It is almost never necessary to swerve left before a right turn, except in the most tight situations, like in a narrow parking lot.
