I've been driving for 26 years and my o/h always prefers me to drive wherever we go. I very rarely get anything said to me unless it appears to be getting competitive. I have never been stopped for speeding, never had any points or even been breathylised.
I did help teach her to drive as a top up for her lessons, so I can't be all that bad eh!
Yes I do have some bad habits.............but are they? I do believe there are more bad habits when being taught today. I reckon everyone should take a motorcycle course as part of their driving lessons, it would make them more aware of motorcycles and their own blind spots.

I ocassionally get a 'courtesy wave' from motorcyclists as i move over and give them that bit of extra space to go past...

Good to hear as I do too. As an ex-motorcyclist I can appreciate this.

I try and do that where possible too, and if I'm in the Landrover I give it a bit of left indication to let them know it's safe to go. It mist be hard seeing round "the Beast"

I seem to get moaned at all the time. I get the whole "James Slow down theres a corner", " Slow down its red" and always get told off of overtaking even if theres loads of time and perfectly safe to. Anyone would have thought I was driving whilst blind. Although she is bad in everyones car. I seem to get it the worse although im used to it. Falls on deaf ears lol.
I love to put my foot down and make the car roar to wind her up as she really hates it lol.

I get the whole moaning thing all the time, even though i haven't done anything drastically wrong. What gets me is when she has had a whinge at me she go's and does the very same thing but its ok. The way i see it woman just like to have a good nag about something for the fun of it.
