GF wont drive mine - she is too scared of it...

she is also extremely scared of damaging it, i think it would do her good to get to drive a decent car in order to get a bit more road craft, as her 206 handles like it has jelly for suspension and the wheels are conencted to the steering wheel by rubber bands

However i would be petrified of her driving it on anything other than a motorway, as her spacial awareness is not great and a nice deserted B road might result in meeting traffic etc...

With all that said she is not insured on it, so it is all irrelevant.... i however get the 'pleasure' of being able to drive hers any time she doesn't want to drive - eg most the time.

women should never be allowed to drive unless they are dropping off or picking up their husbands or partners from the pub or sporting events and they should use their own car!!!

Wife is so sexist.

What if you are gay ?

My boyfriend drives all my cars, hes insured and if anything happens then its covered no matter what.

Its only metal unlike your partners, who are not as easily replaced !

Same here, I ask the missus if she wanted to be included on the insurance on mine this year but its too big for her. She drives a 1.3 swift and the zs scares her!

But id definatly let her drive it, they way she drives its safer in her hands than mine Although id have to park it for her!!
