I'm male and I've been driving since 1967. I have four very old cars with large rear windows and no neck rests and have no problem. But any time I've rented a newer style car I've had incredible trouble getting used to them. The rear windows have become progressively smaller over the years and the seat headrests have grown taller and wider and I can't see around them. I don't know how people do it if they own a new car.
