Is your wife a terrifying driver?
I'm pretty sure that if you had to take a driving test to keep your license, my wife would have lost hers long ago.
Am I the only one? (For the record, I drive 99% of the time. It's literally only once or twice a year that I talk myself into it being okay to let my wife drive. Today was one of those days. I'm just happy to be alive.) |

I'm the bad driver in my relationship.

I've got a buddy in the same situation. His wife drives all the time because he scares even himself.
I don't remember my wife being a bad driver, but at some point in the last decade or so, she just completely lost the skill. I can pretty much count on any time she drives herself somewhere, there's going to be a "...and then I almost ran somebody off the road because I didn't see them in my blind spot..." story at the dinner table. |

What a horrible, judgmental and socially unacceptable question!
And also, yes. |

I only got my license like a month ago at age 35, but the answer is still yes. Even when she was teaching me she would repeatedly tell me to break the road rules and I would have to instruct her why I'm not doing what ever crazy thing she was telling me to do.

I hate riding in the car when my wife is driving. I have to be distracted to ride with her. A book or the ipad is with me when she drives.
SHe is directionally challenged. Has a hard time following the gps' directions. Is timid. Ugh.

1. Stop signs are optional in any parking lot.
2. Drive in the center/near the center, cause other cars can move. 3. Randomly miss turns then overcorrect rapidly. I'm terrified. |

My wife is an excellent driver usually and is the preferred driver when we go into New York City.

I can't drive so my wife always drives, she's a good driver.
Some people were born to drive, some people were born to be driven. |

The passenger compartment in my wife's car has a worn spot where the brake pedal would be.

My wife and I are equally good drivers, I think, but we also think that each other are equally bad at it.
We have similar habits of general aggressiveness that scare the other. Alas.

My wife is a fine driver but a terrible passenger. Yes, I know the car before me is braking. My foot is hovering on the brake pedal, but I'm not hitting it yet because I can see the flow of traffic ahead, gauge all our speeds, and know there is a 99% chance I never need to press it. And if I do need to, I can, and I will. So relax.

My wife is a great driver... Except for the fact she is so passive with the way she drives. She never takes the right of way in situations that really call for someone to be defensively aggressive.
Mind you I used to be a certified defensive driving trainer and had to do professional evaluations in a former life.
