We'er all the same , we all Criticise each other when we drive and me and the wife are no exception.

Would you trust your partner fe/male driving your car or do you insist on driving all the time.

Is that car your pride and joy in the driveway and s/he's not driving it.

Or are you just happy to be driven around in your partners Taxi?

The wonders of my partners never being a diff. gender...

Last one was as good a driver, but I've gone out with some that would never be let near my car.

She would say her - thinks I have no patience (which is kinda ironic as any time I talk to her while she's in her car, she's giving out about some oul one/fella dawdling along at 80 in a 100, or flashing lights at them, leaning on the horn etc

)

Me I think I'm a more confident driver (and I don't mean that I'm perfect!) but then I drive a 2L diesel Passat that's a lot more capable on high-speed N/M routes than the 1.3 petrol Jazz she has.. I actually don't feel her car is "stable" at much over 90/100 km/h because it's so light.

Oh and I'm a bad passenger - especially in my own car, which is why she gives out about not being allowed to drive mine. Actually, am I alone on this one??

I'm a lot better at reversing too - at least thar much we agree on!

OK thats easy....from the technical point of view, I'm much better as I am "as one" with the machine and react better to situations and can judge distances and gaps (and read maps). I know whats behind me, I can indicate without looking at the stalk :rolleyes: I can overtake without even thinking about it....

From the point of view of likelihood of an accident,on average my wife would be better because she is over-cautious. She cant park, she cant reverse, ...(oh and she drives an Ambulance... HOW she does it, I cant imagine)

Well considering my OH thinks things like which side of the road to drive on are optional I`d safely say me

Overall id say we'd be pretty much even. (im trying to be objective here) the only thing that gets me is id have no faith in her ability to react quick enough if something were to go wrong, she panics and jumps where as id go all instinctive: for example opposite lock lets say if the arse of the car tried to overtake me or something like that.

Other than that my missus is actually a good driver.
