As far as modern times are concerned, we’re past the debate on women’s right to drive their own cars. These days, the question of getting a car leans more toward convenience and security, especially if your job requires you to travel or work late at night.
Are you still weighing the pros and cons of getting your own car? If you’re worried about the expenses that come with an auto purchase, you may want to consider these advantages:
- A car asserts your independence and style. Without being mayabang, you can finally tell your boyfriend or dad that their chauffeur days are over. “Owning a car gives you the freedom to go anywhere without having to wait for anyone else to drive for you,” says Anna Barbara Lorenzo, managing editor of TopGear.com.ph.
- You save more time. Commuting to work can take ages, especially at rush hour. Sure, you’ll be bogged down by traffic every now and then, but not as much if you know alternate routes that public vehicles can’t take.
- You can do more rakets. More time can also mean more money if you’re the type who does jobs on the side after office hours. Plus, you won’t need to worry about commuting if your raket requires you to go out of town.
- It’s safer to drive on your own car, especially if your job requires you to clock in late hours at work. Driving lessens your risk of getting mugged on the street or encountering an abusive cab driver. You also get to go around in any outfit you like without being harassed by catcalls.
- You learn to be more responsible. Because a car is always a prized possession, you become more conscious of its performance and maintenance. “Even if you're a girl, you have to know the basics of taking care of your car—knowing when to change the oil and water, the wipers, and more,” says Lorenzo.
