The Road-ies!!

My city H is still coming to terms with women drivers. The general opinion about my tribe is that we don't know how to drive. Either we are over cautious or too scared to face the road. But, hey!! What about women who don't fit the bill? Women who are fiery and driving through a hectic schedule. Indeed we are misfits and the reactions we generate ranges from being annoying to hilarious.
On the road in my city is a big battle. Everybody and anybody is in great hurry as their entire existence depends on cutting your way and taking the turn just an inch before you. So how does my city and my people here deal with outcasts like us:
They stare and stare and stare, sadly even when you look at them they are unfazed. Even sadder the fact that the glares come mostly from unwanted sources (not even a pleasant face to mistakenly feel good about it)
The pedestrians feel that your mode of transport is an exclusive gift from the Almighty while the tyres are made of an out-of-the-world material so they have all the liberty to catwalk right infront (thinking that even when you hit them, it wouldn't hurt at all)
The more adventurous lot try to scare you by coming too closer and when you aren't they get dejected and freeze right infront of you (perhaps testing your vocabulary competency in hurdling abuses else you know you'll lose touch of the bad words)
Beware because some of them can fall in love with you immensely and might feel that it is their duty to follow you everywhere (even at places where your telecom provider fails to extend its network)
The more chauvinist types would simply shake their head when you overtake them and might give you a long lecture if you happen to stop by on why women should stay away from roads (ditto on why women should stay away from workplaces)
Some experiences are too original and people specific. Do let me know if you some of those unique experiences to share. Finally a message to my city people: Please get used to the idea that there are exceptions to every rule and we, women on the road make it a pleasing site, if nothing else, what say?
