There is something about the

of driving alone that makes these

sometimes, that’s just what it is.
Because the people in the other

AMERICA'S FINEST®
OVERALL since 1850
By Mary Lou Chapman
You can make statistics prove almost anything. You could find some
to "prove” that women are better drivers than men, or you could prove
' exactly the opposite.
' But we don’t want to heat up the old war between the sexes. We
i don’t feel that being male or female affects the way you drive, really.

The director of the Psychopathic
Clinic of Detroit Recorder’s Court
maintains a driver behaves in a
manner which reflects his true
personality pattern. His personal-
ity does not change. But there is
one significant difference. In his
car he has more freedom of oppor-
tunity to demonstrate the presence
of unsocial, irresponsible or even
anti-social traits.
BAD DRIVER, BAD GUY
The clinic has found that prob-
lem drivers are usually emotion-
ally unstable. They generally are
the impulsive and irresponsible
person, the day dreamer, the alco-
holic, and the selfish egocentric.
There are also those suffering from
feelings of inferiority, who some-
times believe the automobile offers
a way to show the world that they
are “as good as anybody else.” This
usually takes the form of speeding
or trying to “outwit” the police.
If, however, a person,—man or
woman — is emotionally well-bal-
anced in other phases of his life,
at home, at work, in the commu-
nity, he is unlikely to be a chronic
problem child on the highway.

i ing their unladylike nature. And
some gentlemen, who can be ever
so charming and pleasant at a
dance, drive like someone is step-
ping on their toes when they get
behind the wheel of a car. They
break speed limits, and generally
behave as if they were at a jam
( session. Invariably, it’s only a traf-
fic jam session.
