You know... If you wonder how they ever managed to pass the test!


:eek::eek::eek:

Can't parallel park
Can't do a hill start
Cuts corners
Doesn't know the width of the car
Doesn't know the position of the car within the lane
Changes lanes without indicating
Cuts other drivers up
changes lanes and then changes mind
Indicates at the same nanosecond as braking and manoeuvring.
Braking and manoeuvring at the very last nanosecond.

and I know I shouldn't moan about this one as it's the only thing she does PERFECTLY..
Sticks EXACTLY to the posted speed limit.. :o

OMFG I'm...

Ive got all this to look forward to as my girlfriend has just passed her test and is getting her first car. Im so looking forward to it!
 
Mine is quite a good driver to be fair although she is impatient, every day I get a slightly different tale of how she was held up on the way to work by a tractor, micra, lorry or something... She does like cars though and I think she could be a speed demon if she drove something more potent than a yaris :p
 
She's not a bad driver, I'm a horrible passenger. So I drive everwhere.

No real problem as it allows her to drink, and as I stopped drinking 16ish years ago it makes no difference to me. Plus she sleeps a lot in the car so all is good.

Same. She doesn't have much mechanical sympathy (although this has changed recently with her new car and me insisting she looks after it), but I never feel uneasy or concerned as a passenger.
 
Mine is ok, never feel anything but safe really. A bit driving miss daisy at times and does one or two very odd things, i.e dipping the clutch and braking when slowing for a junction, even from about 40mph.....but try telling someone who "was taught that way" they aren't in control. Ultimately not worth it!

In contrast my driving must be absolutely terrifying at times

1) Insist you drive if you both go out
2) Don't get in the car when she's driving
3) Take keys away
4) Burn License
And 5) Don't expect to be in her good books for a while.

Thank me later :D:cool::D
 
She has had her moments. She admits driving bores the daylights out of her. She's not a bad driver though.

I drive 100% of time when we're in the same car. Terrible passenger me.

Ditto. I don't particularly like driving her car, but I will.

She isn't perfect, doesn't plan ahead very far etc so has to make sharp decisions, forgets what gear she is in, but she isn't bad. Problem is, if someone does something different to what you're used to you see it as wrong.

EDIT: OP, either don't let her drive, or sit her down and have a chat with her.

I must admit it was nice to switch drivers on the 6 hour round trip from Gatwick a couple of weeks ago. I can nod off and feel safe, which is nice. I'm glad I don't have a GF who drives as bad as some mentioned in this thread:o
 
OP just summed up virtually all the drivers in Teesside/North Yorkshire :eek:
(except keeping to the speed limit)

She gets bored driving, I hate being a passenger. So whenever we are both in the same car I drive. She's not a bad driver, but she just fails to react to situations so ends up sailing into bad positions that she could have easily avoided.
 
Mine is pretty good. Towing a trailer recently she claimed that "it doesn't effect the braking distance", but all was fine. I still prefer to drive though.
