Is there prejudice against female drivers in your country?

I live in Poland. In my country, there is no prejudice against women drivers. Anyone can get a driver's license when they turn 18. Unfortunately, the community has different approaches to this. I am also very skeptical about this. I've seen a lot of cases where a woman can't drive a car. Women cause most car accidents. In Poland, when someone drives too slowly, too fast, or, of course, there is an accident somewhere, it is often said "probably a woman". I have to admit, I've said it myself many times. I'm not proud of that, but unfortunately it is.

My wife can't pass her driver's license because she's under a lot of stress. I've told her hundreds of times that stress does nothing and that she should learn to overcome it. Unfortunately, she does not have such a strong will, in general, I worry about her a little lately because she seems to have depression. But this is a topic for another post. I think also the stress caused by the fact that after getting a driver's license, women are still too uncertain about their abilities. I understand it perfectly myself because I also had to travel many kilometers before I learned well and I have to admit that I would have caused an accident several times, so it is also a matter of learning.

However, as I mentioned above, it has unfortunately become so accepted in Poland that women are the worst drivers. Well, what a country such a custom. Every country has a different mentality and people react differently to certain things. I'm used to it, and I'm already in my head. I'm sure if I went to another country and saw an accident, I'd probably think it was a woman. But at least I am not ashamed to admit that I am Polish and that I have it.

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.

I understand that feelings. I believe why some women may not be driving well maybe because of the saying or believe that women aren't good drivers.

Like you've mentioned, self confidence is needed to overcome such fears. Nice reading through your post, here's sending you best wishes.

It's my pleasure!
