“Women drivers!” It’s a road refrain oft uttered by men.  On the other hand, in this age of statistics it’s typically countered with the claim that men are actually involved in more accidents.  And scientific data is very compelling. But what is the truth?

In his captivating book The Screwtape Letters, the great philosopher C.S. Lewis noted that change is meant to be a means to an end and that it is only the destroyers of civilization who try to convince us that it is an end unto itself.
