I can count the times i have been in the car with my wife driving on 1 hand. We both drive well over the limit i just prefer to be in control.

Just left in a 21 hour road trip. Do y'all let your wives drive much? Mine likes to speed, approach turns at excessive speed and try to race to get in front of semis. She says I should sleep. As if..... When I try to sleep with someone else driving, I get to daydreaming about driving somewhere. That's fine, until my daydreaming drive goes left and the real car goes right...instant panic wake-up. Not worth it - I stay awake and watch the scenery.

Damn right I let her drive ... at least on long trips ... 3 or more hours.
She's a pretty good driver. I taught her to use the gas pedal to get into a 'rocking chair' position in traffic. I just cover my eyes and turn up the music. The driver gets to pick the music though.

My wife drives sometimes if we're out and I have a drink with dinner. That's seldom!

Mine drives at exactly the speed limit. See ferris' post above. And when I'm driving and she sees brake light 3 miles ahead...

I guess I’m lucky, my wife is a great driver. Doesn’t matter either way to us. We usually decide by where we’re going. My F-350 can be a bitch to park so we will take hers. Sometimes I’ll drive it, but don’t really care. Now she doesn’t want to pull a trailer, so if that’s the case I’m driving. Uber or my 17 yo for drunk nights.

Wife is also a good driver , launches the boat and retrieves. But I drive 99% of the time. I don’t like riding passenger.

My wife drives good.... Most often it was go somewhere in her car, she drives.. but sometimes I do....
If we go somewhere in my truck I always drive.... She has driven my truck a few times for short distances... but she has never driven it alone....She worries about parking it.
The only thing that frustrates me on a longer drive if she is driving...... is she drives the speed limit.... MAYBE I can get her to go 5 miles over....
I drive FAST!!!!!!

I wish the GF would drive more! We do a trek from FL to our summer place in WI, I expect her to help out while I nap but I end up normally driving 20 hours, her 5. We drive non-stop as we have 3 large labs, don't think any hotel will accept 3 large dogs. We're going to try a check-in coming back this Nov. Hope we don't get busted by saying we got one dog that under 80 lbs

One time I did fall asleep. It was dark and the lurching of the truck woke me up. We were going through a stretch around Chattanooga. I’m pretty sure I know that curve. Kinda sneaks up on you.
