Men tend to drive their spouses/gfs around. Furthermore, when a woman makes a stupid move on the road, it usually causes a man to have an accident while avoiding her. She continues on her merry way, having never noticed the wreck occurring around her because she was looking into her vanity mirror, adjusting her eyeliner with one hand and her lipstick with the other. Edit: Not to sound sexist, but...
Driving in NYC is an empowering experience. The taxicabs actually have the system down. It's how people should drive everywhere. Every man, woman, and Cabbie for himself.
new york isn't so bad, you just have to get used to the street sweepers combined with lack of parking spaces, on top of bumper to bumper parking, turned into double parked tuesday... but driving wise... new yorkers are very good drivers, but the traffic is bad due to quantity, not quality i remember having to get to class on the other side of queens when the busses were on strike... that was a treat everytime i had to take defensive driving, the darn guy always claims how harris county has the worst drivers, i agree chinatown + weekend = terribad driving
