I drive 100% of the time in my truck, 90% in her car.
She's generally a good driver but when the verbal part of her brain is engaged, the driving part is not. Very low situational awareness and the concept of mentally being 10 seconds ahead of the vehicle is beyond her. Never proactive, only reactive. Still, she has never bee in a wreck that was her fault. |

She drives her car, and I drive mine.
Since "her car" is the minivan that fits us and all the kids, she drives us as a family more than I do. Like some other posters mentioned, she gets car-sick if she isn't behind the wheel, where her brain gets that feedback that she's controlling the motion she's feeling. And besides, anyone in the military knows that the "vehicle commander" outranks the "driver" anyway.  The downside is, like the military, the buck stops with the rank, so whatever she does wrong is ultimately my fault anyway.  She's a fine driver, so I could not care less about being a passenger. |

She usually drives because she's a very nervous passenger and she gets upset with my driving, even though her driving style is similar to mine. She just needs to feel in control of the vehicle. We used to get into arguments about it, then I decided it's easier if she drives. But on long trips, I always drive. Go figure.

Whenever I let my wife drive it's always a mistake. She's the kind of driver who is content to follow behind a bus and stop and wait every time the bus does. Whenever I'm with her and she's driving around looking for a parking spot but never commits to one, it frustrates the life out of me! She has no clue how to maneuver through city traffic whatsoever. One time when I was meeting her at her work to go grab some lunch I made the mistake of letting her take her car. We had to head north, so she pulled out the lot and headed south, then she turned and headed east for miles in the opposite direction we were supposed to be going. Then she busted a u-turn and headed back west back in the direction we just came from, before finally turning north in the right direction even though it was on the wrong street, at least we were going the right direction at this point and my frustration subsided a bit. The entire detour could've been avoided had she just turned east out of the lot and then north at the traffic light.

I honestly don’t care.
If we are doing a quick run to the grocery store or Home Depot, or something, then it’s really just a toss-up who drives. Generally, as we walk out to the car, either one of us will volunteer, or will ask if the other feels like driving. If she drives, then I can have a beer in the passenger seat on the way home. She generally doesn’t drink a lot, so if we are going out to dinner or to see friends, I’ll typically drive there, and she will drive home. Seats with a memory function are awesome. On a few occasions, when I have run out of beer on the weekend, I have made her drive me to the store in her Panamera, and I will sit in the back, and I make her wear an old military cap that kind of looks like a chauffeuse hat. The idea that I would ALWAYS drive doesn’t even make sense to me.  For example, this past summer we drove from DC to Florida, and back. That’s about 13 hours each way. The notion that I would have driven all of that myself, when there’s a perfectly capable driver in the car with me, would be completely ridiculous.

Depends.

My wife and I have been together 23yrs and married almost 20. If you add up every mile over the last 23yrs it will total under 100 miles - probably under 50. She scares the hell out of me!
A Jeep Wrangler on 35's is not meant to be driven like a sports car, but she somehow does it. My sons and I call her the brake pad slayer. The Jeep is on its 3rd set in 60K miles and her old Suburban needed them every 10-20K miles. She is not allowed to drive the classics. |
