Female etiquette, applies to many aspects of a woman’s life and getting out a vehicle is no exception. Research from Shelias’ Wheels Car insurance, the specialist motor insurance provider for women, has found that 68 per cent of female drivers have admitted to flashing, more than they bargained for when they get out of their vehicle. Thus Sheila’s Wheel comprised the 'Exi-quette Car Curtain'. The new in-car design can help to dispel any embarrassing situations and help to maintain the users’ modesty, something which may be of help to the women such as Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.

The 'Exi-quette Car Curtain' was created after 12 million female drivers admitted that they have revealed more than they expected to when as they left their vehicle. The car insurance provider, in association with the design expert, Gusto came about with the prototype which aims to shield the wearer’s modesty when they step out of their vehicle. The designers hold high hopes that celebrities, such as Jodie Marsh and Jordan will be happy with the introduction of this new product, both of them appeared in a poll conducted by female drivers, which categorized the worst celebrity ‘flashers’. Jodie Marsh took second place with 17 per cent and Jordan was placed in fourth position, with 15 per cent. Topping the poll was Britney Spears with 31 per cent.

The 'Exi-quette Car Curtain' will also be welcomed by many other women, after 44 per cent of female drivers admitted to wanting a product that could put an end to any chances of flashing, this implies that demand for such a product is evident.
