I’m sure we all will remember the once typical and somewhat prejudiced view of women drivers. However, to me they were always more safe and courteous drivers though I have to admit that I have encountered some quite aggressive ones in more recent years and I think this is due to the increasingly competitive nature of life I mentioned above. I think for the bullying tailgater looking to shove you along or get out of the way, any automatic braking option will be over-ridden. I know they are close when at night I can’t see their headlights in my mirror in what is a relatively low small estate car.
PS I used to drive a Peugeot car-derived van. Standard 1.9 diesel (no turbo, etc.) it was slow but okay once it got going (and it taught me to read the road far ahead). It had a towing hook attached to a huge protruding lump of iron that was half the width of the vehicle. That kept them away!
