this presupposes that women are somehow less equipped to deal with these than any male driving the car.
while i understand where the sentiment may be coming from, it needs to stop. it is this attitude, conscious or unconscious, that perpetuates sexism today.

I think you're making too many assumptions and it seems you already have a predisposition on this issue regarding how men view women driving cars. He could have simply been worried about people challenging her to a race, or complimenting his mom (who want's their Mom hit on?), leading to his use of word "hassled".
But of course that is giving him the benefit of the doubt... which you are not.
