"In total, six shortcomings of female drivers were listed on the police microblog: a lack of a sense of direction, wearing high heels while driving, an inability to control a car’s gas and brake pedals, driving with the hand brake on, forgetting to switch gears while driving and getting flustered after an accident."

The whole article reads more like warning tips for pedestrians and other drivers.

Eh, I hope the police don't have to warn men about the dangers of driving with high heels on...

The blog probably didn't need to include a picture of a woman driving a car that is shaped like a high heel though.

Other highlights:

"Women drivers when driving alone are not able to find the way to their destination, even if they’ve been there many times.”

“Some women drivers lack a sense of direction and while driving a car they often hesitate and can’t decide which road to take. Once they realize their mistake, they cause accidents by spinning the steering wheel in a panic.”

“Women drivers tend to panic following an accident. They usually draw a complete mental blank, providing opportunities for criminals.”
