Hell-I even freak out when she's driving me home from the ER when my back gets squirrely, and then I'm usually on valium and dilaudid....  That's the fastest way to piss my wife off-scream in fear of dying....

My husband drives at work all the time. I can count the number of times he has driven off-duty since we married on one hand.
I don't like it when he drives though because he drives like a cop  and it scares ME to death!

I will not let mine drive. I had a horse bust my nose recently and was bleeding everywhere and I still wanted to drive, rather than let her.
The things that bug me the most are that she starts braking 30' before the white line and doesn't come to rest until she has past it. |

My g/f says she drives fine, and my only problem is I feel like I always have to be in control. That's bullshit. I just find that it's less stressful for me to drive than to be having constant mini-coronaries every time she drifts towards the lane barrier, shoulder, etc. Then there's the constant looky-loo - rubber-necking and commenting on things out the side windows. Jesus farking Christ, just pay attention to the damned road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When we take long road trips, that is the only time I've ever let her drive, so that I could sleep a bit and then drive again. But I can't even sleep because I am always feeling car make little jerks as she corrects when she realizes she's drifted too much to the edge of the lane, so it's useless. Now I just pull over and nap... |

The gf drives terribly, I'm constantly shaking my head and turning away... Sometimes taking in a deep breath, the kind that you think will shield your testicles from danger. She sees this, and she hates to drive with me in the car.
This is why I'm a hermit.

It might be best to have the passenger seat facing backwards, supposed to be safer in the course of a head-on impact as well.

What could you possible mean? Every law enforcement professional on THIS board drives like the consummate professional off duty, and would only drive in a scary manner on duty because they are hurrying to a call that does not quite warrant lights and siren. |

I know nothing of "every law enforcement professional on THIS board".   I only know of my darling husband, and he drives like he was taught to drive. Which makes me oh, so carsick!! Soooooo, I drive. That and I am an admitted control freak!!

My wife thinks she's in her little car when she's in the 2500HD with a 20' trailer and a 6000lb tractor on it.
DRIVES ME CRAZY. It's ok to brake a little early honey, you don't have to do all the braking in the last 10 feet. It's ok to slowly accelerate up instead of flooring it, it's going to go a little slower with all that weight in back. that's it, pull over, let me drive. snow plowing this winter should be fine.

Ex-fiance cracked up EVERY car she ever owned: never paid attention to her driving, always talking on the cell phone, looking out the side windows, adjusting her make-up.
Scary gal. Behind the wheel, and otherwise... |

When I sold cars I sold a bunch of "loaded" vans to husbands because they wanted the sensor/camera that would help keep their wives from backing into things and fucking up the bumper, and also the front collision sensor so they would not crash into the front of the garage.

Your AR15.com skin is PINK?!? And no, I don't need a gag or blinders when my wife drives me anywhere. Because she doesn't. She'll tell you that SHE needs the gag and blinders when I drive, though.

The GF drives me nuts. She tailgates religously. There could be two cars left on the earth, hers and one other, and she'd be about 3 feet behind his bumper.
She drives way too fast in the rain. The problem is that she leaves very little margin for error. I have asked her, "What would happen if we had a blowout right now?" Her answer - "I think the tires are OK." The only reason she drives is that I cannot fit in the driver seat of her Corolla. |

I watched a soccer ball roll 50 yards over the course of 20 seconds into the path of our car and my wife still managed to run over it.

The ex is a horrible driver. Tailgaiting, excessive speed when entirely unwise, talking OR texting on her cell phone, fucking with the radio/cd player...the list is endless. I'm sure she does all of that shit with my son in the car, too.
 However, the one before her was an excellent driver. Payed attention quite well, left the cell phone alone...she could find a radio station or cd and stick with it. She could also cut a faster light than I at the dragstrip AND speedshift, though we were still working on that. Then she moved to Hawaii.

Here is how bad my wife is.
Had a 2002 Chevy Venture with the back up warning alarm. She still backed into a car. Numerous parking lot "incidents" just happened, no idea how. Too fast in the winter=ditch time. Paid $33,000 for it in 2002 Traded it in a few months ago. Got $500.00 for it. What does that tell you? (Besides that my pimp hand needs work). |

Basically we are just saying what we already know, most women suck at driving, cannot handle the remote and its impossible to watch football with them because of the incessant questions.

I drive for some of your wives' every day when I avoid squishing the ever lovin' s^&* out of'em with a 40 ton semi. That goes for some guys too. Why can't people merge? not be distracted by talking to a passenger, the cell phone or reading the daily paper, cutting others off in traffic especially big trucks etc? [Highjack rant off]

 I cannot count how many times I wanted to remove my wife from the auto insurance policy . Once, I refused to get in the car with her on the way home from dinner, because she drove terribly on the way to the restaurant. I took a cab home, gladly

In my entire life, I have observed only one female who could drive worth a damn.
She was an ex who had a gearhead older brother who taught her how to drive. He was an amateur stock car driver and she had taken a few laps at the track in her time. The rest of them suck. I would definitely cite 'doing all of the braking in the last ten feet' as a popular option. Also, the stopping at the foot of the on-ramp trick and the tailgating but not passing ploy. I would hope that the spatial reasoning deficit is more than made up for by the matching pot holder gene. Colonel Hurtz |
