Lol...must be a sub continent thing @ `lean on steering syndrome`, I have seen exactly the same phenomenon on busy Delhi roads, many a time.

what i want to know is why do all women have to lean on steering and try helplessly to see the front of the car? i just don`t get it

even though some ideas are actually helpful...to everyone

but confident woman, doesnt mean a unaccomdating one
at times, on intersections when other car has already passed halfway.. and is in speed..dont try to be over zealious..and still try to cross...

[quote] If we do something wrong, we women accept our mistakes. Well, when you are driving, nix this habit. [/quote]

that is when you know you have done a mistake.. which is unfortunatly almost never....

also..
one advise that was a must..

please keep things simple behind the wheel.. only reason women have problems is that they over complicate driving...

Re: # 12

The question is that of relevance. In a city like Karachi, to begin with how many women dare to drive. How many can afford to have a car to drive. How many female taxi drivers are there. How many dare to drive at night.

Once you look at all these, you realize that the article is pure trash, it has no bearing on the reality of Karachi and it is charade to show that the issues in Karachi are no different from that in a modern city, and the modern issues of feminism blah blah.

Wake up, there are relevant topics for Karachi and it is crime.
