Join the tribe

Welcome!

We're so glad you’re here! This is shedrives:tribe; the community of women who are breaking down the outdated stereotype of the 'female driver' - we are becoming more confident and empowered to navigate the car industry on our own! 

What’s our ‘why’?

Ever been the receiving end of a ‘female driver’ joke? Been ripped off at a garage, or felt anxious having to go into one? This long standing stereotype breeds insecurity in women and perpetuates the stereotype further.

We are starting a revolution: empowering women to speak up, be informed, be confident, and challenge the patriarchal norms - one mile at a time!
