Are you or your spouse the better driver?

My husband has driven race cars and all sorts of heavy equipment so I would say that he has a lot more experience and probably can handle a car better, but I would say that I am the more careful driver and probably a better regular road driver than he is. I don't like to drive in the winter and I know that he is better at that than I am. Ice scares me!!

Hands down if it's between me and the guy that I'm currently with right now then it's me. I have been with my bf for 8yrs. When you can drive a standard while in labor to get your own self to the hospital then you can pretty much drive through anything. Anyway I have lived in Kansas and in Pennsylvania and in Maryland and in Texas I have only had the priviledge of driving in the first three throughout all seasons. I do 100% of the driving and can put a good 500,000 miles on depending on if I'm visiting my realitives out of state or not. Also I haven't had an accident in 6yrs and the one I had 6yrs ago wasn't my fault it was the party who took the turn to wide and was on my side of the road and took out my side of the car. Shakes head.. I'll never understand why people just can't stick to their side of the road when driving.

I think I am a better driver than my husband.

I am the only one who can drive so it's just me - I haven't had a car for a few years now so I haven't done any driving for a while. When I did have a car I would probably drive on average between 10 - 20 thousand miles a year, which I think is about average for the UK. If you do more miles than that in UK then you can expect your car insurance to go way up!

I am a great driver. I have never had an accident and I think I am in more control than my husband who gets some road rage now and then. He also drives too close to the rears of other drivers and gives me bad nerves. My husbands has had two slight accidents with reversing into others. He does drive a lot more miles than I do but they are motorway miles (which are easy) where as I drive through the town everyday in traffic. I really think I am a better driver than my spouse overall. He needs to calm down a little while he is driving.

i would say im the better driver because i dont go even 1 Km/h over the speed limit, I don't go through orange lights, and i've never gotten in an accedent, when my spouce drives about 5Km/h over the speed limit, goes through orange lights very often, but she also hasn't gotten in an accedent.

You talk about the number of miles driven per year and the weather and the type of vehicle, but are you forgetting something? Safety. Quality of driving has to take safety into consideration. Which of you observes all traffic rules? Who is more likely to respond best in an emergency situation? Or who is more likely to avoid getting themselves into an emergency situation because they tend to drive defensively. You have got to measure this on several levels. I am sure each of you will win points in different categories. In the case of my husband and me, he is a better driver than I am overall. His job required he drive public vehicles. I am a more cautious driver and do not take some of the chances that he takes. Each of us has had accidents - none of his were his fault. I don't take blame for mine either, but since I rear-ended the guy, it's my fault.

Well, this question and explaination of terrain and weather is a little bit lacking....I'm the wife so I can add to this. We do have snow and icy roads in the winter just not as much as my husband has to deal with in -40 degree weather and snow and ice much worse than here. While yes, it's true he does much more driving many accidents are not the fault of the person driving the car but the other person that you tried to avoid. I have had some very close calls from people being head on coming at me in my lane and pulling out in front of me just as I got right on them I had a green light and this other person was in a turning lane coming across in front of me running a red light on his side. There are others I could quote as some harrowing times I managed to avoid an accident, lol. Well you know what we drive. I can't add to that.

For me this is a very simple question to answer. I do all the driving - my husband is English and he has never driven in his life. When we are in the USA at my home we travel quite at bit and I drive. I have a customized Chevrolet Van, and it has a seat that goes down to make a bed so if we are travelling a great distance I can pull off in a rest area and take a nap and while I am doing that my husband sits and reads.

She thinks she is. But, I don't agree. Ha ha !

Hello, I am alone,so I am the only driver now.I don't drive very much,mostly to the store.I meet my sister a few saturdays a month to go to different places. She does the driving.I don't like to drive on the interstate, the traffic is so much it scares me. I drive a small van. I probably drive way less than 10,000 miles a year. No accident's,knock on wood.I drive in dry and wet weather,no snow,thank God..If it snowed,I would have to stay home,I would be afraid to drive in it.Bless you. Be safe driving.
