Why are there so many scared woman drivers ? Woman up and learn how to drive !

[unfeelingwife]

I've seen so many posts about scared women drivers.

What's that all about ? Why can't women drive confidently ? Is it because men are arseholes on the roads ? I know a few women in real life who won't drive on motorways or when it's dark etc.

Why ?? Why are there fewer men who are scared to drive ? Or is that just in my circle ? I drive everywhere, including long road trips to different countries, with my babies and I'm just not scared. I know women who just refuse to drive and their husbands drive them around....

Ive been in a few accidents, by the way. It hasn't put me off. Everyone is different of course, but is it men who've put women off driving ? With their shouting and insults/ road rage ?

Part of my driving exam was motorway driving,

In the UK?

It says "I have driven in Britain and my friend in Spain (in each other´s countries)" just above that, so I assume she did her driving test in Spain.

Bit of a judgy post OP as there will be many reasons why women (and men) dislike driving - as other PP's have pointed out.

I noticed I'd reduced a lot of long journeys (defaulted to DH) because anxiety levels had hit the roof and as a result I had lost confidence in lots of things and I wouldn't have been a safe driver (all down to peri-menopausal symptoms). Since I recognised this, got HRT for the symptoms, I made a huge effort to get out driving more frequently and especially the long journeys...all is fine again.

As for night-time driving, I try to avoid it but will do it without question, but only because of astigmatism in both eyes that cause huge flaring/glares from oncoming vehicles headlights.

Personally, for me, it has nothing to do with twatty (male) drivers who insist on sitting on my rear bumper (when doing the speed limit), or being shouted at, being called a cunt, them waving the bird at me...they can all fuck off.
