Question about control

In your relationship (married or dating), who does the driving when you go places together? (Stolen from the wall of a friend)

In my case, it's me who is compelled to drive. I was in a really bad car crash when I was 18; could have died bad, and since then, I am a very nervous passenger.

    Husband- although I am a better driver. He constantly complains about the way I drive. I'm never going fast enough or taking the correct route or whatever . I don't care how we get there a long as we arrive!

    My husband does, mostly because I can't afford to waste gas, and he is terrible with directions. The only time I drove somewhere a good distance away, we got lost because he failed to give me any directions at all. Definitely not happening again.

    I often drive because I can't stand the way my husband drives. He hates driving so he's fine with it.

    I usually do the driving.............unless I'm sleepy.

    He drives - I navigate. And yes, I love telling him where to go. :laugh:

    As a motorbike rider, I am really stressed and bored in cars... So I normally hand over the steering wheel as much as possible (I don't like to drive cars basically).

    I drive, my husband is a horrible driver. I was also in a bad accident, which has made me more nervous to be a passenger.

    The OH drives me around. She gets travel sick. I don't. I don't like the smell of sick in the car :laugh:

    My husband drives; I put on my sun glasses and close my eyes, (so I don't keep doing the "brace for impact" flinch).
    I've done this maneuver since my son learned to drive.
    They tell me I'm so mellow in the car, never ruffled. Little do they know; I've got my eyes Closed!
    (I confessed to my son about the eyes closed and he reaches over now and then to lift my sun glasses and check if they are.)
