NewsWomen fight back
against aggressive
driversCharles Warner
of Lincoln has
come to the rescue
of local women
drivers by
launching a free
Women in the
Driving Seat
evening.
The event, held
recently at the Lincoln showroom, provided practical
instruction on personal awareness and self-protection,
basic car maintenance and self-help, to help reduce
the risks women face when driving, including dealing
with road rage in other drivers. In a recent RAC
survey, 87% of drivers said that they had been a road
rage victim at least once, while 20% claimed to have
experienced it more than ten times.
Darren Wood of Charles Warner says, 8220Personal safety
and security are important for everyone, particularly
women today. The menace of aggressive, inconsiderate
driving on our roads seems to be increasing and we
believe all it takes is a little case and consideration.
8220We went women to enjoy their independence and
freedom and be able to travel safely and confidently
on our roads.8221Councillors, business leaders and developers celebrated the
