To be absolutely sick to death of men shouting at me in my car but never my husband

[Wotsitone]

I’m really fed up of being verbally abused aggressively when driving for any minor thing by male drivers. This seems to happen to me a few times a year. In 20 years of being married this had never happened to my husband.

What a brilliant attitude to road safety… 😅

To the OP, whenever someone has done stupid enough to deserve a bollocking I couldn’t care less if it’s a man or woman.

Perhaps it’s your driving that’s the issue.

If their driving is genuinely dangerous, sometimes this needs pointing out.
If you can’t handle that, then don’t drive like a dick

And what happened to equality? Regardless of genders involved, the above applies

If their driving is genuinely dangerous, sometimes this needs pointing out.

Stopping your car for 60 seconds on a residential alley so people can get in the car isn’t necessarily dangerous.

If I screamed abuse every time someone in front had stopped the car to let someone out or in, I would have a hernia.

Shock horror, sometimes people wait for someone on our one way street for someone to get in. A gentle beep is enough to get them to drive and somewhere else. No aggression required.

Well said. We want equality, until we don't

I’m a better driver than DH - we both accept that fact. I have never, ever, ever been shouted at whilst driving. DH regularly gets shouted at when I’m a passenger and he’s driving. He’s almost always in the wrong, he whacks up an apology hand and carries on. He’s also been yelled at a couple of times when he didn’t deserve it (like one woman who followed us for ages screaming because she’d been driving in a bus lane, realised too late and then tried to cut us up so DH beeped her or the guy on a motorbike who hit our stationary car on the M25 driving home from the hospital with our newborn DD). We share a car than I’d say is pretty gender non-specific so that’s not why we get different treatment and he’s a 6ft 100kg rugby player whilst I’m nowhere near that size.

Male or female driver isn’t relevant. Male or female shouter isn’t relevant. You’re being shouted at because you’re a bad driver.

I posted that I’ve never been shouted at but I’ve never driven a little run around, always a bigger car and I don’t drive in a city.

I was thinking the same thing. DH is a good driver, police trained and 60 years with only one accident when someone ran into the back of him in a motorway pile up he managed to stop in time and not hit anyone but the car behind him didn't manage it. I've definitely seen him shouted at 3 or 4 times and on one occasion a very aggressive driver chased us, police training came in useful as we shook him off.

I think with DH it is age, didn't happen when he was young with jet black hair, old man with white hair is fair game to boy racers.

Yeah this is a nice way of putting things. I’ve never been shouted at and I’ve been driving for over 25 years.
Admittedly I am a very good driver ( by my own standards but also on feedback from passengers) but maybe you need to look inwardly a bit more at your own driving skills.
