Are cars personal space?
Every year more than 3,000 women drivers are killed or seriously injured on the roads. evecars.com, eve Magazine's motoring website for women, is urging female drivers to think before they take to the roads for their summer breaks. The carefree holiday should start when the car is safely parked and keys tucked away.
“We have to stop thinking of cars as personal space where we can do what we want, when we want.” Says Lesley Jones, editor of evecars.com. http://www.evecars.com/
