My late loving wife was a terrible passenger after we were married for a few years. So I told her that if she didn’t like how I drove that she could drive. That worked for most of the time until she died.
I, too, am one of the world’s worst passengers. I didn’t nag, but I would gasp loudly or push my feet against the floor and my hands on the dash. My hubs finally said “If you don’t like the way I drive, you drive.” The last ten years of his life he never drove with me in the car. We went across the country several times, and he didn’t even back out of a parking space. Suited me perfectly.
Long ago when my mother would back seat drive with my father and he had reached the point of ‘enough’, he would politely look over at my mother and say calmly, ‘There is one steering wheel in the car and I happen to be using it.’ Quiet always ensued (along with giggles from us kids.
The only thing the cartoonist couldn’t work in is how my wife always thinks I’m driving too fast. She’s wrong, of course! This one is getting posted on my fridge right next to the family photos! Excellent!

So either way — dressup?

Lol…about how my SO and me are. But also when the roles are reversed and he’s the passenger.

My husband does this to me when I drive, so now I make him sit in the back. We pretend it’s an Uber. But he calls me his “Boober”. Men!

My wife likes to drive, but when we are going somewhere we haven’t been before I drive and she navigates.

The reverse is also true. It’s a control issue.

It is incalculable the number of accidents we have avoided because She grabbed Her armrest hard enough the second someone’s brakelights came on…………
