WOMEN worried about driving alone can now get an instant companion in the form of a blow-up male passenger that inflates at the flick of a switch.
The 'Buddy on Demand' (BOD) scheme is from women car insurance company Sheilas' Wheels.
The instant companion is designed to help women deter road-rage attacks, car jacking and intimidating behaviour by other motorists - especially at night.
