Or is it some random information from one TV show? What makes you think it is not just some silly joke?
I think what you described: "女人开车的方式是紧张的,紧握方向盘,好像不握紧车就会突然跑掉一样。" is not true. I for one, only use my left hand to hold steering wheel if I am driving below 50 miles per hour, . I have been doing that for 20 years, half of the time in a car with menual transmission and never had any problem.
