When your missus is driving

yorkielee:
I don’t let our lass drive unless I’m desperate, I sit next to her feeling like I want to throw up n shes a rally driver smashing through the gear box. in here defence she has a clean licence and no accidents in 12 years of driving.

+1 without a doubt. You took the words right out of my mouth!!

Juddian:
Mines a loon and scares the crap outa me, but then she’s Greek.

Lane control doesn’t compute, she has a fuse about a millionth of an inch long and no patience whatsoever behind the wheel, it can be like a theme park white knuckle ride.

Ha ha. Dude mines Greek Cypriot and exactly the same. Her mum drives the same way as well. That’s the funniest thing I’ve read. The wife is 5’0" and once tried to pull a taxi driver out of his car through his window. The builders across the way were p155ing themselves apparently.

My wife has improved a lot over the years. She has the confidence alright but still the rage is still there. When she overtakes, she goes so fast and I keep telling her to slow down. Too much pressure on the accelerator wastes too much fuel. And she still overtakes and comes back in the lane too early.

She is the kind of person who always seem to get horns all the time and she is the kinda person who thinks she’s right all the time. Completely opposite from me lol

Christ yes, you can be somewhere and someone is being a bit shall we say pedantic (mine doesn’t do rules and regulations at all and petty t’s and c’s ■■■■ her right off), i can be standing behind her shoulder knowing the fuse is about to blow and i’m trying to attract the other persons attention by shaking me head and mouthing ‘no don’t go there’…invariably they ignore me so i bugger off and leave 'em to the coming explosion… :sunglasses:

Finest women out there the Latin’s and similar IMHO, totally loyal passionate and completely bonkers, ‘alive’ is the word for it.

She’s a pussycat outside of the car. I used to be quite aggressive in my youth but I can’t be ar5ed with all that now. The red mist still descends over her though and she’s 35.

My princess threatens to make me walk and hates me being a passenger.
Things got out of hand once when she put it in neutral at the traffic lights and didn’t react in a split second of them changing.
A blazing row ensued with us parked on the side of the road for everyone to witness. Eventually she screamed ‘perhaps if you made me ■■■ more often I’d be a better driver’.
Kids where laughing their asses off.

Got to hand it to the wife she knows how to win an argument.
True story.

I just laughed a little to hard there. A little bit of wee came out. :laughing:

I hate to rub it in, but I am in passenger nirvana when my fiancée drives. She is pretty good, smooth and spacially aware. Considering the drivers from hell I have dated in past, I feel lucky. She uses my car and I don’t worry about it.

Mine accuses me of keep correcting her…i cant help it when she pulling out of a side street, and thinks she got a 40ft trailer behind her…there have been many times when she has stopped and told me to either get out, or shut up…ha ha i remind her that even her instructor doesnt know how she ever passed her test…ha ha …makes me laugh though when she curses other drivers, and its actually her fault…women …love em or loathe them…but they just cannot drive…think they can, but they cant…came home last night and said one of her lights wasnt working…so went out, turned on the lights…all working…i told her i fixed it…a loose wire…shes the loose wire…ha ha

My missus is a driving instructor and drives extremely sensible as I suppose she should do but to be fair she never criticizes me as she knows better than to do that. :wink:

Mine doesn’t drive! :wink:

Tony Saprano:
To be fair my missus is a bloody good driver. All my doing you understand. She’s 5’0" and used to park our (then) Laguna estate better than most men could park a Focus.

Mine too - She reverses our big Mondy Estate up our drive like a pro. She also navigates better than a stanav.

And no - you can’t have her…:slight_smile:

Mine can’t navigate for toffee. The only way she get’s to work is because the car knows the way.

My other half doesn’t drive, but my mum makes-up for it with incompetence. I dread asking her for a lift. Speeding in the wrong areas, such as doing 50-60mph in a 30 zone, and then never going over 70 on a motorway! Getting far too close to the car in front, and having to harsh brake all the time, as well as doing horrible gear changes that rock you nauseatingly back and forth.

My general pet hate at the moment is the amounts of young female drivers who are playing on their phones, or stick them between their legs because they think nobody can see it. Exceptions can be made if they’re tidy, of course.

I hate driving with my mum, one minute shes got a lead foot, the next shes doing 40 in a 60 zone.

Well erm…nothing of course :blush:

Haven’t got a Mrs currently, but my ex ended up being a brilliant driver once I got her confidence up and taught her proper mirror use and position. It was nice having a competent chauffeur at the weekends!

My other half is the love child of Ari Vatanen. She drives like a mental case round roundabouts. When I asked her why she said she hated them and liked to get through as quick as possible.

tango boy:
My wife reminds me of an agency driver I dread Friday’s :laughing: :laughing:

Fed up by having your driving put to shame then :slight_smile:
