I just wanted to throw this one out there - first - the background.
I had to drop my car off for service. The service center is about 2 miles from my office - so I hoofed it to work that morning. The day was one of the first warm days after about 16 inches of snow a few days earlier, so it was wet, slushy, and kind of foggy out. The sidewalks were snowed over so I had to walk on the road. As I was walking, the first car that passed me, changed lanes and then slowed down to make sure that I didn't get splashed. Wow, that was nice - so I looked to see who it was and maybe wave a thanks. He wasn't looking at me, but it was a mexican man. So I started watching cars, the drivers, and their behaviors involving me. I needed something to do. Here are my results - estimated results as I didn't write anything down.
Minority drivers, Male and Female = 100% of them changed lanes to avoid spraying me. About 50% of them even slowed down.
White Males = About 80% to 85% of them changed lanes to avoid spraying me. None of which slowed down.
White Females = NOT ONE OF THEM CHANGED LANES OR SLOWED DOWN! Roughly 90% of them were on the damn phone.
Conclusion - white female drivers need to get their heads out of their asses. Oh and Minority means black and mexican - no asians were seen during my walk - but I am sure you realized that because I didn't get hit.
HA!
