"Men will never be better drivers than women because they are too focused on rivalry and they get irritated much more easily", said Krzysztof Hołowczyc, rally driver and Member of the European Parliament. “Most men are putting themselves at greater risk while driving, because they dream of becoming another Robert Kubica”, added Natalia Kowalska, who is the first Polish female driver to compete in Renault 2000 Northern European Cup. “Men often treat driving as a way of releasing their inhibitions,” said doctor Adam Tarnowski, psychologist and head of Postgraduate Studies in Transport Psychology at Warsaw University.

Only one in four women (26 percent) feels she is better at driving than men.
