HOW TO DRIVE A MOTORCAR
to exercise particular care in places where there is any
likelihood of an emergency. It is nothing to do really
with a comparison between the sexes as to their respec-
tive credentials. Numerous cases can be recited from
historic occurrences, where women have proved them-
selves to be more courageous than men; where they
have proved themselves more capable of surmounting
a difficulty; where they have proved themselves pos-
sessed of extraordinary presence of mind.
It is, however, that extraordinary and undeniable
characteristic presented to us in a smaller or greater
degree by Nature—presence of mind—which is quicker
in coming into action with men than with women. Pray
you, then, lady readers, do not take these remarks
amiss, and do not construe them as merely intended to
decry the ability of the lady driver.
