Do you get advice from your girlfriend when driving?

Tim Robbins

Just a light hearted thread for a bit of fun. does your girlfriend / partner / wife advice you when driving e.g.
1. Go a bit slower
2. Change gear
3. Oh be careful for that pot hole

And how do you react to it all?

The last time it happened I apolagized for pushing the peddles and turning the wheel when she was driving.....I got out of the car went around to the drivers side ......that put an end to that.:D:D

No, my girlfriend never advices me.

Some of us have moved past the girlfriend stage and now have wives (unfortunately).

I had to tell a former partner to change gear all the time due to constantly redlining and 'not noticing' it.... but a bloke is allowed nag about driving, right? :P

I wouldn't call it 'advice'

GF, no.

Me Ma? That's a different story...

Does screaming in fear with hands over eyes when you go over 50kmh count as advice?:D

Captain Slow IRL

Yes, and it can cause arguments.

I'd have picked option 2 and 3 if possible, but we haven't argued in a while over my driving! The only real complaint with me was to slow down.

Option 1 and 4 haven't been selected yet (early, I know), interesting to see if they are:D

No, my girlfriend never advices me.

Yeah i have argued with herself, one day i was having none of it so pulled over, got out opened up the passenger and told her to f*cking drive i want to sleep my head has had enough of nagging!

She thought i was driving too slow on a dual carraigeway, the speedo said 110, the limit was 100. Just because people where passing me out.
(oh no have i left myself open for abuse because i admitted speeding)

But god forbid i utter a word while she is driving.

Other please state

Nope, opinions on driving from people who do not have full licenses are not entertained in my car.

I have a loving wife who always drives over the speed limit and then creates hell if I even get near it. It's a female thing. Forget it.:D

Girlfriend giving driving advice, is that similar to a priest giving advice
on relationships?

vorbis

Yes, and it can cause arguments.

god YES!

slow down
stop sign
theres a pedestrian ahead, watch out for him

I've been driving longer than her and she gets nervous driving on busy motorways so I don't know why she thinks she should give advice.

I'm beyond the getting advice thing at this stage. I just get the stare and deafening silence for 5 mins.

WTF would a wimmen be doing talking to you about coking or cleaning when you are driving?
