If you want to know about motoring etiquette then Debretts and car manufacturer Vauxhall have combined to write the ultimate 47 page book called ‘Thoroughly Modern Motoring Manners’.
When it comes to women drivers we are to get out of our cars in a ‘ladylike’ fashion <yawn>. To be specific we are told to
Smooth down your skirt.
Keeping your knees together, swivel your body and swing your legs outwards.
Place one foot down, keeping your knees together.
Dip your head and shoulders forward and slide and glide out of the car…
Apparently a true gentleman knows that jokes about women drivers are cliched and is never a back seat driver.
I wonder who the book is for? Men or todays modern motoring Millies?
I fear that if it’s for female motorists, some may find this a tad patronising, especially if their sense of humour is wearing a bit thin at the time!
