Who drives the car, you our your special someone.? Are they a back seat driver, or are you? Or maybe its the kids who are the backseat drivers. Another thing, Do you fuss about which way your gonna go, or directions till you get there.?

My hubby drives. Before my accident When I drove and he was a passenger he got so ticked. He would hold on to the door for dear life and comment constantly on my driving. "slow down, turn on your blinker" and then when I was nearing a red light or four lengths behind a car that was breaking he would stomp on the floorboard like he had a break there. So instead of hearing him complain about my driving I let him drive. But he is such a slow driver.

Thankfully I dont scream. I am still nervous But not as bad as before. and as the days grow into months it has slowed me down and realize that every thing will work out and that every thing happens for a reason. Hopefully next month when I go back to the doctor he takes off my cast. He will start me with therapy. Then i will be able to drive if I have feeling in my foot again. Lets pray and hope.!!

I'll pray for you. I know you don't like to depend on your husband to take you everywhere. Lots of luck.:-)

My daughter was in a car wreck, she is the same way. She is terrified in a car. She screams if she thinks your gonna crash. I fill sorry for her, but at the same time, she will almost make me wreck. My best friend is like that also. But not as extreme. So I know what your going through. Sorry you don't drive any more. :-(

NO!! He usually drives. I don't backseat drive. Kids don't either. He knows all the back roads and we get there quicker. I am terrible with directions and such. Better he drives. I would think that if you are going to drive you can go whichever way you wish. If he drives he should go his way. Good luck!

He knows everything. He don't tell me around town. But on trips and stuff, and we usually always take a wrong turn. Its always my fault. Last time he drove, it was still my fault. Who knows.

It depends...but most of the time, my hubby drives. He likes driving. I don't really fret over which way we're going unless we're running late or have to get somewhere. There are times that I am a backseat driver...but usually because he's annoying me because he tends to drive real slow like a grandpa!!!

He usually wants me to drive, then he grips the whole time. I mostly drive too fast for him. I have an aunt, when she was married to her ex, they would fight over who would drive. They would fight till they got there. I try not to go many places with my husband, unless he drives. It just saves a whole lot of trouble.
