Police in Beijing have been accused of sexism over safety tips targeting women drivers.

In the post, titled “Female drivers, please pay attention and avoid driving mistakes,” police start with the basics.

“The handbrake is normally used to keep the car stationary. A lot of new female drivers often start to drive in a hurry without releasing the handbrake,” it said.

“This increases resistance to the car and results in consuming more fuel.”

Police have also identified what they regard as another common mistake by women drivers - their alleged inability to remember roads and directions.

“Some female drivers lack a sense of direction and are often hesitant as to which roads to take.

"This is particularly so when [they] drive on roads such as elevated bridges. They often can’t find the entrance or the exit. They can’t remember how to find places which they have been to several times.”

Facepalm.
