Why do women instist on telling the man how to drive?
I just don't understand it. This is one of our main areas of squable. She doesn't ever want to drive, but wants to constantly critique mine. Tonight for example, we pull out of the local Pizza joint and she wants some Ice Cream so she asks me to take her to McDonalds. No problem, or so I think. Now, the roads where McDonalds is located in town are a bit different. A 4 lane road is the main drag from the highway on one side of town to the highway on the other side of town. McDonalds is located on a side road right before you get on the highway. The lanes split, the left lane becomes the on ramp to the highway while the right lane takes you up to the intersection where McDs is at. Anyhow, I'm about 150-200 yards from the intersection and she starts fussing that I'm going to fast, not paying attention and about to hit the median (it's painted, not concrete or anything like that). I'm starting to look and try to figure out what she's talking about - I, nor the two oldest girls understood her problem. She starts fussing all the more because now that I'm questioning her, I'm REALLY not paying attention (according to her). Now shes REALLY, REALLY mad at me because I turned around in the lot of the business immediately before McD's drive and came home without her ice cream.
I know I'm not the only guy with this problem. Shoot, even Jim Stanford, at his show in Branson this Spring cracked a joke about his wife always driving everywhere they go, all he does is sit in the car and hold the wheel. So, why do women insist on always telling us men how to drive? |

In my experience, it is because they are horrible drivers and have usually had accidents that make them fearful. They can't trust anyone else driving, nor themselves to put it bluntly. (At least this is the case of my wife and female relatives.)

Greatest thing I ever heard about this came from my parents.
My mom is nagging my dad... Dad: Do you have a license to drive from that side of the car? Mom: Yes I do, it's called a marriage license. They're divorced now... Moooo |

Beats me. Mrs. Zep alternates between "You drive like a grandpa" and "you're gonna get picked up if you don't slow down". This on the very same stretch of road.

And it really doesn't matter how many people are passing us at the time either.

in my experience, women just live to nag
in a car they have you trapped and in the middle of doing something.... perfect chance to nag the heck out of you. you can't run and you can't just hand the wheel to them and say "do it yourself" curiously, if you nag them they will usually cry or some such nonsense and act like "everyone is always so mean to me"

Actually, I have looked on Ebay from time to time for a steering wheel from a van like ours that I can just hand to her when she gets to complaining. I just haven't found one yet.

I usually have the road rage thing going before I even get backed out of the driveway. My wife knows better than to add to it.

maybe they think we are in a hurry to get out of being in a car with them. Women just think from a totally different angle than men

They get so used to telling the kids "no" and that they are wrong that it carries over to you as well. You're kids eat to fast, you change channels to fast, kids need to be careful and look where they are walking at {insert store name}, you need to look where you are driving and be careful...
morphius that almost makes sense... |

It's a hundred times worse when they are pregnant. Absolute hell driving them anywhere.
