Please learn how to drive...or get off the road.

Ever since I started driving with my mother in getting my permit, I found myself to be the most cautious driver in the world. I would take my time and always let people change lanes, etc. Even to this day after driving for around 16 months, I find myself to drive carefully yet efficiently. Even with this layed back, safe driving, I find myself to be constantly agitated by drivers who don't signal. I have come into some near to collision crashes, mostly because other people infringed on my lane, and I refused to give in. Most times its cause I am in their blind spot and they decide not to look when changing lanes. It bugs the heck out of me when people don't signal because its a pure matter of being considerate to others. Is it not something to get mad about? Should I just shake it off every time and accept drivers for being idiots? Anyway, I find most of the people on the road who drive poorly to be women. I used to hear jokes about women in general being horrible drivers, but quickly brushed away this stereotype and figured out I would see for myself. Being out on the road for this long, whenever I see something that annoys me, I check to see who is driving. Most of the time, it is a woman, I know that most women are good drivers, and there are also a lot of bad male drivers, yet it bugs me that the stereotype is sort of true. Anyway, I should stop ranting, mainly because this could get ugly and I don't want to offend anyone out there, even though I probably have.
