I'm probably stirring up a hornets nest here, but my hubby is a good driver up to a point. a. He gets to close to the car in front. b. He drives to fast. other than that he's fine. I do get a bit nervous sometimes like tonight. (I've just got home) Jo.

my husband is not a mad driver but if anyone is driving badly he lets them know!

hi jo i don't have a bad word to say about spouses driving!! i'm all alone in the world!!!!!!!!! so i am the best driver in the house [no spouse] and i did drive taxis at one point, in my varied careers, so i can drive like a man and swear and gesture exactly the same. but all at the same time lol sandra

sandra your so lucky.before i get in the car with my husband i am digging out my will just incase we get abit of road rage and you know where that can lead!

My hubby is a better driver than me and I feel quite safe with his driving, the only time I drive is when he has had a drink lol.............Sue

I can truly say that my husband is a careful driver he has to be he is an Ambulance driver i feel very safe when we are out and he his driving . When i am driving he knows now not to say anything he used to so my driving must have got better over the years, sometimes even he falls asleep unless he is shuting his eyes as not to look what i am doing lol Margaret

my husband is a brilliant driver!! shhhhh he's sat next to me so ive got to say that lol plus hes my chauffer(spelling) as i dont drive:(:( susie

I can echo your sentiments Joanne, I just learn to hold my tongue, he's tended to be vocal about my driving, so I refuse to drive with him in the car.

i cant drive but hubby can (pass) say no more

Hi Let me put a man's point of view (why are there more women than men on this iste?). My wife taught me to drive when I was 27. I had no "official" driving lessons and passed first time. My wife is a bril driver and, obviously a bril teacher! I also assume it makes me a bril driver too!! :-)) Gerry

ime not a good passenger....my ex was a good driver,but she drove too fast..too close to the car in front..and braked too late...thats why we had two cars lol bryan.

Wish mine could drive, save me being the taxi!!!

Since mine started driving to work each day instead of going on the tube, he has got much more aggressive and impatient. He does all the things I shout at other drivers for! Too close, wrong lane, not bothering to indicate etc etc. But I have to say he has not had an accident, so I cannot say that he is careless. THE WORST DRIVERS ARE THOSE WHO DO NOT STRAP THEIR CHILDREN IN. This is my pet hate. I cannot understand or condone this in any way. There is NO excuse!!! Maz XX going off to calm down!!

the only time a woman should drive a man is when he's been in the pub and she picks him up! (hee hee!) paul...

Joanne, One of my pet hates - tailgaters, warn your husband they are clamping down on them. Spouse - my ex - it's the one thing I cannot critise about him. He was an excellent driver and a one point in his RAF career, a driving examiner !! Janet

Well, my wife doesn't drive, so what I think is... about time she learned. Apart from that, in general; Women are more careful drivers, more cautious. Yet they make more insurance claims than men. This is because their overcautiousness frustrates other drivers and leads to accidents. Men are generally more purposeful drivers, and have better spacial awareness and long distance vision, which enables them to drive with the aforementioned purpose. All of the above interpretted from "Why men don't listen, and why women can't read maps" by Allan and Barbara Pease, an excellent book on the differences between the sexes.
