Are you a Daily Mail headline writer? They aren't saying women can't drive, Alison Pearson is saying that the menopause effected her ability to drive. My uncle couldn't drive after his prostate operation, so by your logic, men can't drive.

Looking at the headline next to that, re aliens, I would assume anything in that publication is none too reliable.

About 12 years ago I’d given a speech and done a book signing and was ready to drive home. Then I realised I couldn’t; drive, that is. I simply had no idea how to drive my car. Panic flooded in. “Don’t be silly. You’ve done this a thousand times!”

No good. What if I put my foot on the wrong pedal and crashed? I rang home in tears. “I can’t remember how to drive,” I sobbed.

“Don’t worry, darling, it’s OK,” Himself reassured me. “Deep breath.”

It took a few minutes to recall how to drive the car. It took a lot longer – years – to realise that what I’d experienced was a symptom of the perimenopause. Forgetfulness, brain fog, a sudden plunge in confidence.

I'm assuming the aliens are members of PH and think "sod that" when wondeing whether to visit planet Earth for fear of being killed by a woman who can't drive.

That’s what they say isn’t it - all men think they are great at driving and sex, but in reality they are probably rubbish at both

If the account is true he dealt with it like a man aware that he isn't perfect either.

If everyone assumed that everyone else on the road is an utter moron who cannot drive the roads would be that much safer!

Don't think I've had too much bother with the middle aged up over women on the roads. However men of any age seem to be that cause of most stupidity.

Saw a young man driving his E250 the other day, plumes of smoke filling the road behind him and he just kept on racing it into the distance.

Only crazy lady I've seen is the local who has a silver M4 and managed to pop a drift on a roundabout. Admittedly she made sure there weren't any other cars near by but even so, 40 something woman going tokyo drift was a sight
