One of the women, the aristocratic Mme. Lutgen, was pressured by her scandalized family into giving up her job. Another chose to quit driving at the insistence of her fiance and a third abandoned her driving career when she inherited a small fortune.

But most of the women who left the horse-cab trade were reportedly discouraged by accidents, by disputes with police and customers and by the hostility of male drivers.
