Women Drivers

First, this is nothing at all to do with journalism, or UCLan or my life really, its just an observation of a woman driver I saw tonight on my way to work.
I was waiting to cross the road so saw the full complement of this piece of driving ignorance! Anyways, SHE and another car (which a guy was driving) were at the lights which were on red and a police car with its siren and the blue flashing lights was speeding on a emergency call behind them. Now, the guy driver being on the white line reversed a little and swerved slightly into the other side of the road , narrowly avoiding a bollard, to TRY and let this police car past. However, the women driver just did nothing in the middle of her lane...now, if the police car at around 50-60PMH would have been able to get through that gap, then no problem but as it couldn't, surely the women driver should have gone forward and towards the kerb a little more? Is that to much to ask? well yes, yes it is. She was either an ignorant b***h or unaware of the wailing siren and blue flashing lights so this police car was forced to slow down to almost a stop to squeeze, and I mean squeeze through the gap, that was between the women and the mans car. To top it off she didn't even look bothered! Here's this poor guy who has almost has his front end taken off by several buses etc to try and let the police car through and she was in the middle of her lane doing nothing! Women, safer drivers...pah. Maybe in general and overall, but as a fellow driver, this one needs a refresher course.
