Sexism on the RAC website
Chipsandbean5 · 04/10/2021 14:04
I've just looked at a used car review on the RAC website. Under the 'What To Look For' section it says this:
"... And check for scrapes on the alloy wheels caused by distracted mums not paying attention properly when parking."

Not sure what to do about it. Shall I email them or can someone help with making this public before they quietly take it down?

On the plus side, the RAC do prioritise lone women when attending breakdowns, so not all bad!
But yes, absolutely write and complain about their sexist joke. I’m sure it was misplaced humour, rather than a genuine belief that women are crap drivers. The RAC offer car insurance- they must be aware that we make far fewer claims than men.
