My wife drives some times. I think she's a good driver. Only thing I have to remind her to do every once in a while is stay out of the left lane on the highway unless you're passing someone.

I tend to agree with most of the people here, but for me it isnt limited to females. I just hate riding shotgun with anyone that doesnt drive like I do. People that brake sooner/later, accelerate slower, dont pay attention, etc.

On the female topic though, my brother told me about riding with a friend of ours and they were having a discussion about disconnected drivers.
She was complaining about... "most people (mostly women) who talk on cellphones or generally dont drive observantly and basically reduce their attenti..OH LOOK A DOGGIE!"

I prefer to drive, no matter who I am with. I'm a much better driver than my wife, that's for sure, so I see no reason to have her at the wheel. I also ENJOY driving, which is another reason for me to do it.

The only other person that I can relax with while driving is my Dad. He's a better driver than I am.

I would probably be comfortable with guys that I know can drive as well (or a woman, for that matter) but in general, I prefer to control my own life.

Personally I'm a poor passenger, I prefer to drive. As far as bad drivers, I see plenty of poor drivers male and female.

I agree with most here. I would rather drive and have control of my fate than let a woman drive. I've been in too many near wrecks, and if it weren't for my keen ability to see what's about to happen before it does, my s2k would have been dead years ago. And they certainly would have been wrecks if a female was driving.

Maybe we can get girls to take off their overly large white framed sunglasses, remove the lei from their rear view mirrior, and quit talking to their boo on their cel phone while they're leaned back so far that their face is even with the dashboard.

I can only dream.

So I guess what you're saying is that if you ever figure out your travel plans for WTD, you would rather be Mocky's +1?
