I drive more carefully with ANYONE in the car (exceptions include people whom I know don't mind me driving quickly/spritedly). I see no reason to put them in a more stressful situation tbh.
Same here. If it's just me I drive the way I like, if my girlfriend is in the car I driv much more sensibly, but not as sensibly as if any of my family or friends or family/friends kids are in the car.
I try not to put passengers in any risk when I drive, my girlfriend doesn't mind me driving faster than if my mates are in the car, so I do, but still sensibly.
I hate it when I'm driving around and I get overtaken by people with kids in the car. I was doing 60 in a 60 section the other day and so an old couple in their volvo with two kids in the back almost shoved me and the missus off the road by overtaking and pulling in sharpish. I don't mind others endangering themselves or me, but when kids are involved I really get irritated, incase something happens.
Another example, driving through a town in a 30 limit, again, at the limit, so 30, and some idiot then overtakesme in his people carrier with kids in it, really not on.
I haven't driven with a kid in the car in ages, but whenever I do I drive like a saint/granny.
