I've always found it strange that my mom would always drive far from the center line, and way over towards the curb(and sometimes onto it). Instinctively, wouldn't you want to drive closest to the line that you can see the easiest, since it is easier to guide off of? My thesis is that it really is predominantly a woman thing, along the lines of how they often avoid going to the doctor because they are afraid of bad news, being overly cautious and trying not to think about what hasn't been confirmed or seen.
