    Why is it that many women seem to drive with their nose in the air and leaning forward (even on the freeway), as though they were expecting something to run out in front of them and under their wheels all the time?

    Women drive that way because most cars are designed for male drivers; that is, people whose height is mostly in their torsos, rather than in their legs. I’m 5’5″, but like most women, most of my height is in my legs, so when I sit down, I’m about 2 feet tall. Bucket seats are low-slung and tilted backward, and unless I pull my seat up as close as I can to the steering wheel, I can’t see over the dashboard. My knees are jammed up against the steering column, but it’s either that or drive blind.
