It's an unusual and dangerous place for the driver to dangle them, admittedly,
but to infer they are not therefore a 'gentleman' may be taking things too far.
Perhaps they are using the notorious sensitivity of their gonads to
instantaneously detect and respond to aberrations in the road surface so as to
make the journey smoother and more palatable for lady passengers? John Wayne
used to do the same in old movies when riding the stagecoach, so that when
filmed from behind as he accelerated away from Commanches there were always
flapping thingies discernible between the wagon wheels like saddle-bags
swinging in a dust-storm. Of course, eventually, the strain showed whenever he
walked.
