“I want women to be able to go on adventures wherever they want to go.
I hope I can leave and come back whenever I want.
It's not too late.
“Whether it’s today or tomorrow, if you leave, that’s when it starts.”
-From the author's note

A woman who drives goes everywhere!
“We can all be cool driving sisters.”

From registering for a driving school to purchasing a car, every moment a woman gets behind the wheel, the world becomes colder.
The road is a space where even novice drivers face obstacles that men do not have to experience or would not have experienced.
To gain mobility through driving, women must learn to drive 'on their own' and experience accident knowledge firsthand.
Asking your family about things you don't know doesn't make you feel better.
With "Not Dad's Car, Not Oppa's Car, Not Sister's Car," you can learn everything about cars and roads without having to go a long way or experience them firsthand.
You can learn in detail about complex signal systems, road types, signs, and even fault rates that can be useful in case of an accident.

The author is the planner of the ‘Sister’s Car Project.’
'Unnie Car' is a project for women who drive themselves instead of getting a ride from 'Oppa Car' or 'Dad Car'.
In early 2020, it was selected for the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's Youth Gender Equality Culture Promotion Team project, and even after the support period ended, it continues to operate programs such as light maintenance classes, car wash meetings, accident response methods, safe driving, and 'My Car Management Workshop'.


Unnicha aims for women's independence and coexistence and advocates for the 'right to independent movement.'
This refers to the power to leave and return to wherever you want, whenever you want.
Freedom restricted by last train times and public transportation.
If we regain that freedom, we can enjoy happiness on our own without relying on others and without the temporal and physical constraints of public transportation.
The book argues that driving expands women's independence.
Unnicha has been working with women to enable them to live independent lives and develop.
Even now, she constantly communicates with her over 30,000 social media followers, sharing stories about cars and connecting with women interested in driving independently.
We have also been providing education to help middle-aged and older women achieve independence in their mobility.
The journey of the past five years, driving knowledge, road information, and all the stories are included in 『Dad's Car, Not Oppa's Car, But Unnie's Car』.

The three things that were banned in Afghanistan to take away women's freedom were education, employment, and driving.
This symbolically shows what is needed for a woman to live an independent life.
Through education, people gain the opportunity to learn skills and knowledge and develop their abilities.
Adults become independent from their parents or caregivers by getting a job and earning their own income.
It is about acquiring the basic strength to live without relying on anyone.
By learning driving skills with him, you become a free person who can go where you want, when you want.
Transportation is already an essential tool in modern society.
It allows us to get where we want to go, it provides us with a means of escape in times of emergency, and sometimes it gives us the strength to help someone in crisis.
Education = knowledge, employment = economic power, driving = acquiring the skills to move freely.
Aren't these three the elements that make one a fully autonomous member of modern society?

In the case of shared cars, since the smartphone acts as the key, if the smartphone powers off, you may find yourself in a very difficult situation, such as not being able to start the car.
What should I do if I rent a shared car and my smartphone dies? With Socar, anyone can start the car if the renter's smartphone dies while the car door is open.
You can also remotely lock your car by calling the customer service center using someone else's smartphone.
If the renter's smartphone turns off while the car is locked and the car is empty, the car will be unusable until it is charged.
To prevent this from happening, it is convenient to prepare a spare battery or charging cable and charge it in the car.

“Who in this world would stop women from riding in cars?”
“That’s true, but…….”
If you find it difficult to readily answer the above question, I would also like to ask you a question.
When you first started getting your driver's license, did you ever consider getting a Class 1 license? When you told people around you about your plans or even offered to enroll in a driving school to get a Class 1 license, did you ever receive any dissuasion? According to an in-house survey conducted through the "Unniecha" social media platform, approximately 31% of you have experienced dissuasion from getting a Class 1 license.
Only 31%? That's because approximately 50% of all female drivers have never even attempted to obtain a Class 1 license.
According to the analysis, there is about a 50% chance that you will attempt to acquire a Type 1 license, and there is about a 67% chance that you will be dissuaded or rejected when you attempt to acquire a Type 1 license.
Two out of three women who tried to get a first-class license were told to stop.
I've had the same experience.

If you find it difficult to remember, just remember one thing.
If you exchange contact information after an accident, there is no chance of a hit-and-run case being established.
If you both agreed to make repairs or exchange cash, it would be better to leave a voice recording or transfer record.
However, this must be done carefully to avoid causing discomfort to the other party and thus hindering the agreement.
(Omitted) Sometimes, there are malicious drivers who take advantage of the hit-and-run penalty and pretend to have reached an agreement and report the accident, so you should make your intentions clear when reaching an agreement, but this should also be done according to the situation.
The most important thing is to avoid accidents, and if one does occur, to leave contact information.
--- From "How to Respond at the Scene When an Accident Occurs"

When I talked about driving with acquaintances as well as during my 'Unnie Car' activities, I heard quite a few things like, "Driving is scary" or "I can't do it anyway because it's so difficult."
When women talk about driving, it seems that the topic tends to be 'danger' rather than the fun of driving, driving episodes, or knowledge.
They vaguely describe it as 'driving is dangerous and an accident would be a disaster' and rather than talking about how to respond if an accident actually happens, they jokingly say things like 'it's too difficult for me anyway' or 'an accident would definitely be a disaster'.
In it, haven't we taken for granted the premise that 'driving is difficult'?
