S/He Says   Modern Musings: Why do female drivers get a bad rap?
A bit of email banter has sparked this week's talk on the topic
of female drivers. Are women worse behind the wheel? Why do they
cop such a bad rap? Charl thinks ladies are a bit of a hazard,
while Rebecca says ladies have the stats to squash this
stereotype. Join the banter below.  Are women worse drivers than

Thinkstock  Charl on female drivers:  Of course I think that
women can't drive properly. I think most men do.  It's a thought
that sits at the back of my mind every time it's a woman's turn
to take the wheel. A thought that then usually jumps to the
front of my mouth in one of two ways: either I (rather
chivalrously) offer to do the driving, or I (less chivalrously)
make fun of her motorskills until she gives me the keys.  Either
way, if I'm not driving, I'm thinking I probably should be. I'm
expecting to see her crash into something.  Photo / Thinkstock
