Why women are considered bad drivers is far from anyone’s understanding.
The National Highway Safety Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTSA), reports that men cause way more accidents than women. But the general perception is that women don’t drive as well as men. Due to this perception, many women feel less confident behind the wheel.
Are men over-confident as drivers? Or is it just a feminist issue?
Whatever it may be, according to the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute, there are more licensed women drivers than men. So there is absolutely no reason to feel less confident when hitting the road. It’s time to get in your car and enjoy the freedom.
Here are some crucial tips:
Practice, Practice, Practice
To become a good and a confident driver, you need to constantly practice driving. Your responsibility to learn does not end after the passing the test. You need to commit yourself to keep learning; the more you learn, the better you will become at diving and hence more confident.
Drive different cars
If you learn how to drive an automatic transmission, it could be really intimidating to drive a manual vehicle. Make sure that whenever you are learning how to drive, drive different cars. Experience with manual and automatic, as well as big and small cars since your aim should be to become a good driver overall.
