[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you ever go to a sporting event, concert or some other event with tons of people, ALWAYS park so you can pull out.

If you have to back out when there's a mad rush to leave you're screwed. Only amateurs pull into spots in the parking lots during a sporting event.

Backing in doesn't take long if you know how to actually drive.  [b]The problem is so many stupid suburban drivers don't know how to drive. [/b]On top of that they have asininely sized vehicles like SUVs.[/quote]

Was with you for a while, but on this: what the FK are you talking about? “City” drivers are middle aged children who drive once or twice a week, usually weekends to leave town for the beach. They also probably went to college for 10 years and got their license at 28.

One of the great quiet joys when I go home (Midwestern suburb) is that people can FKing drive… they drive fast, many don’t signal, they whip in and out of parking spots. But they do it competently and thus, as a group, relatively safely. [/quote]

I’m with you on the “city drivers” because your take is pretty much spot-on. Without exception, every (US-born) terrible driver I’ve ever known has grown up in a city, didn’t drive a car until sometime in college or more likely after, and despite owning a car now as an adult, only drives a few times a week, IF that often. Yet they will swear they are better drivers “because they drive in [i]the city[/i] “.  As if that’s some kind of badge of achievement or something…

The best drivers are rural and suburban raised kids who started driving with a learner’s at 15, and then went on to drive daily starting the day they got their licenses. They drive every day, hundreds of miles a week, and have probably done 50k miles by the time they finish undergrad or sooner.

People raised in cities are absolute morons behind the wheel.
