bad spouse drivers?

So I thought this could be fun. If you have a spouse or gf/bf how are they at driving? I thought of this after my wife would have hit someone

Default bad spouse drivers?

So I thought this could be fun. If you have a spouse or gf/bf how are they at driving?
I thought of this after my wife would have hit someone if I hadn’t warned her and of course she got all defensive. Too bad her driving isn’t defensive. Arr arr! So overall she’s not bad but she has her moments. Like on our second date when she hit my car! She rolled forward on my hilly driveway with her manual 5.0 mustang and hit my monte carlo ss. Plus she’s had 2 accidents where her car almost got totaled. Or when she hit a car at a stop light when she was watching the cute cows in the field. Or when she hit a car backing out of our driveway on 2 different occasions. Plus she’s been stopped for speeding a couple of times and other violations but has always got off without a ticket. I know this sounds bad but this is in 27 years of marriage. But you can understand why I worry and cringe when she ever takes my car! Oh yeah and once she went to take my supra turbo out for a drive but she got out to run back inside for something, forgot to set the parking brake and it rolled with the driver’s door opened and crunched against the garage door frame, wedging the car and bending back the door like a pop top on a can of beer. But she is getting better. Her current car is 13 years old and has very few boo boos. Anyone else?

LOL, Mine is pretty good too, taught her way back. When we first started dating she wasn't allowed to touch the volume knob on my stereo until she read the car audio glossary in one of my stereo mags. LOL

My female friend with a 2016 Nismo with every option keeps asking to drive my car. I have told her multiple times NO. It's not safe for her or anyone else to drive my car. She keeps saying it's because it's a $$ issue and if she crashes. Then at the same time, she said I can't drive her car unless I'm making the payments after I asked if I could give her car a "test drive". .... I just wanted to know how it felt like to drive an auto NISMO. The farthest I have driven her car was out the garage and into the driveway for a carwash lol!!!

She gets mad every time I tell her she can't drive my car. I tell her she had a Accord before her Nismo. She doesn't know how to drive a standard transmission. She says she is not use to how fast her car is but yet, she thinks she can just jump into my car no problem.. GO figure...


She's still not driving my CAR!!

Did your wife know that you aired out her dirty (driving) laundry on a public forum?

I let my 17 y/o son drive my Z (with me in it) a couple of days after I got it.

That was two years ago and my wife hasn't driven it yet. Enough said.

My Best Friend, Lover, and Spouse is a good driver. She hasn't driven my Z yet since she hasn't shown any interest yet. She does know how to drive a manual so that isn't an issue. It may be awhile before she drives the Z since her right knee is giving her some problems.
