Scared in the car

[Maddie Knight]

When driving today dressed fem I noticed a car following me quite close with some lads in it. Normally in drab this would not bother me but today I was thinking 'are they following because I'm a single female' .
When I turned into my street they went straight on, but I can see how gg can get scared when out alone.

Interesting, although my car is not easily something they could follow I do get the point. Fear is something certainly to concider. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time etc..

Hi Maddie,
I'd guess it was a few lads thinking "women bloody drivers" (a common saying in ole blighty) "let's scare the bejeezus out of her"
No real harm was done so have a wee drink, calm down and be happy they took you for a GG.

Yes, going out can be a real eye-opener about the safety concerns that GGs face.

I was out a few weekend ago and walking back to my car when I passed a guy who circled around and was headed back my way as I was getting into my car. I'd like to think it was innocent, but I was glad not to have to find out for certain.

Way back in the 1980's a couple of guys really did follow me and another CD I was with out of a bar and followed our car. I eventually lost them with some tricky driving techniques that I had learned when I was a somewhat wild teenager. It was definately a scary situation.

is,if your going out dressed(especially at night) make sure there are at least two of you.

I'm glad it turned out to be nothing. That can be the worst fear having someone following you. Be careful out there
