It wasn't the burning desire to get on the road that pushed me to learn to drive, it was being attacked at 14 years old and subsequently having to be chaperoned EVERYWHERE, even when I fetched in the washing my parents had to stand at the back door! The incident affected me for around 35 years, it was only a couple of years ago I realised that I was no longer scared to walk around at night on my own. This is most probably due to the fact that I now live in a village in Spain and the type of incident that I experienced is almost unheard of here.
So, I got in a car passed my test and life was a little easier. I didn't have to walk to the bus stop or get into a taxi with an unknown man, learning to drive had liberated me, to a point. Issues still remain because the dangers do not disappear, which is why I have started this blog, I want women to be aware of the dangers they face whilst driving but even more I want to help them manage these dangers.
Please pass the link to the blog onto your female friends and call back on a regular basis to pick up the tips and advice.
If you have any questions about your safety please send them to Lonefemaledriver@gmail.com and I will respond here as soon as I can.
Stay safe!
