im sure im in the minority, but it bugs me to always see men driving when there is a woman in the car. men probably WANT to drive, asserting their alpha-ness. for once i'd like women to drive, even if they might suck at it in comparison take some initiative etc

no thanks. the only female i trust enough to ride with is my mom. it seems like i constantly have to ask any other female i ride with to please stop tailgating. either that or it's the whole "on throttle, off throttle, on throttle, off throttle..." i'll drive myself, thanks

i hate when my wife drives.... she speeds through our neighborhood where you shouldn't, then doesn't drive fast enough where she should!

She attempts to help me drive from the passenger seat though..... not sure how I make it to work and back daily without the yelling and sudden twitches from over there.

The only time my woman is driving is when I'm too drunk.

Walking in to the grocery store the other day I heard a guy say "watch out for that car" to his girl about a car that was parked that he thought she was going to walk in to. She responded playfully with "Wow thanks...it's amazing I made it this far in life without walking into non-moving objects before you came along." It was funny to hear the switch between the roles.

With the exception of a tiny group of girls including my ex girlfriend, I have no desire to be in a car with a woman driving.

I agree with everyone who spoke out regarding their experiences as a passenger with a woman driver. I've been in so many near-collision moments while being a passenger. Obviously I have to open my mouth and try to correct them. They either get mad or tell me to chill. Apparently, to them, it was the other driver's fault that they didn't see her about to run the stop sign...or sense that she wants to make a sudden unannounced lane change...or know she couldn't be bothered to look back while backing up...or...

This thread sucks. I think you complain about some really stupid shit. Maybe later I'll be frank.

I don't like riding passenger in general, espescially with a woman driving. I am always having to be alert a woman regarding braking and just paying attention in general, its scary.

The constant tailgating and general lapses in attention fray my nerves to no end. It's like I'm doing the driving but I have absolutely no control over the vehicle.
