City People Driving

[MaterielGeneral]

I was helping an Army buddy from the guard and while we were gone a guy came to his house and asked his wife if she could help him and his friends get unstuck. She said when her husband got home she would send him down.

Apparently a women with a car rental and a female and male friend stopped in Cadillac for lunch and instead of going the way they got off the HI way they went a different way and got lost and their GPS took them down a two track and instead of stopping when the trail got rough they kept going, LOL.

FYI, the women on the right was driving and the gentleman was giving the bad advise.

It is of my experience that "city people" drive far better than people of lesser populated areas. Logic would dictate that in areas of increased population/stop and go traffic/+more twists/turns one would by default become a far more defensive driver.

OOPS!!!

That's why they need to stay in the city.

that happens when you trust that GPS way too much

most outsiders haven't got a clue how to drive down narrow country lanes, they are too used to driving nose to tail in the cities, if you don't get out of some UK urban centres very early it'll take 50 minutes to "drive" 7 miles.
you see them crawling down the lanes at 20mph and breaking every 20ft or so, pathetic.

These don't look like city people to me.

So is it to be implied that people from cities (80% of the population) are lesser drivers than people of lesser populated areas (less traffic, less interference from other drivers, slower pace life style)?

That would be the equivalent to someone arguing that city people are on average better hunters than people of rural areas because a good ol boy shoots himself in the foot.

Formula One anyone? Best drivers in the world come from major cities.



You try driving to work with people like this every day. Most rural folks would soil themselves or at the very least tense up...back up traffic. Chaos to some, normal to others.

Awww. . . I needed a good laugh this morning . Doesn't look like they have 4 wheel drive on that rental or a winch. Live and learn the hard way. Maybe tourist wanting to see new country.

My favorite was a young girl drove off a boat ramp. When asked by the fireman that pulled her out of the water why she replied hat the gps said to go that way!

a woman here drove into a ford because her sat nav told her too, her husband-in the passenger seat- was washed away and drowned, and she only survived because some brave chap jumped into the water, pulled her out and dragged her to safety.

You're absolutely right and I understand this. However some here like to try to take deliberate potshots but don't like it when those potshots are returned.

Personally I don't have a problem with hillbillies...I just have a problem with assh*les.

There's one excuse to get rid of your spouse!
