Did she have a father that was around to teach her? My wife's mother was remarried to this dirtbag and my mother in law was literally scared to teach her to drive. I taught her the summer after she turned 16 and she passed the test fine. And she's only been in one accident that was her fault in the next 17 years. She did back into my truck once in the driveway as well as the accident, but that was when we lived in a townhouse with a single lane driveway. I always went to work first but was out of town and she forgot the truck was back there. Only going very slow so nothing major to the truck. Just paint transfer. Did $3,500 in damage to the rear of her Honda.

Ahh. Well, when she inevitably leaves you, maybe she'll let you know where the key is for the lockbox that she keeps your balls in.

My wife is a clutch dumper, but outside of that she drives alright.

It is, but bless the, what would we do without.

Buy her a used Yugo and suggest Friday afternoon joint training session somewhere isolated.

Anyone I've ever known that can drive stick is usually a great driver. Especially if they learned on one. Any idiot can put it in D, mash pedals, and steer. It takes more to work a clutch and know when to shift for different occasions.

It must be a woman thing. My wife has driven into a ditch and scraped a 10-foot section of a retaining wall, but neither were here fault of course.

I loathe people that have no respect for other people's property and especially their lives when it comes to running signs and lights. Sorry bud, some woman needs to kick her arse.

Were you around 40 or low 50's when you tougher her?

I'm not even there now. I'm 35 and she's a little younger. I had just graduated high school and we'd been dating a few months and she didn't have her license, despite being 16 for over a month. She said her mom was scared to ride with her and teach her. Her dad was working some 12 hour shift job and didn't have much free time, so I taught her.

When my wife approaches a red light, I can feel her Tahoe accelerate.. freaks me out... She's really tough on breaks...

No accidents thank God, but she does run into shite in barking lots... Like concrete barriers and backing into telephone poles...

You cannot get a woman to acknowledge her faults without peppering in a bunch of compliments about what she does very well/above average and it won't help if you acknowledge your own

A clinical diagnosis doesn't sit well with women. If you tell them what's wrong and leave out what's right they get defensive
