Comments on: STSG Pet Peeve: Men Who Can’t Drive http://saysthesinglegirl.com/2009/men-who-cant-drive/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:36:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Samantha http://saysthesinglegirl.com/2009/men-who-cant-drive/comment-page-1/#comment-2759 Samantha Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:39:11 +0000 http://saysthesinglegirl.com/?p=563#comment-2759 My husband is an awesome person but can't drive to save his life. He breaks when he shouldn't (Yield signs when no one is coming) and speeds to stops. Basically no intuition whatsoever on the road. It's absolutely infuriating. I have been with guys who could drive in their sleep if they had to. You could just CHILL and enjoy the ride. With my husband, it's like driving school. Oh, and no sense of direction. Ridiculous. I blame his parents, partly. I am one of those women who drives like a man (like a good-driving man) and I hate that I have to feel the need to tell him how to do what should come natural. (Oh and he hates the backseat driving crap, but I don't care because my life is at risk.) He's gotten better over the years, but I still cringe every time we get in the car. Being pregnant and in the car with him was torturous. We now have a 1 year-old son and guess how many times my husband's taken him somewhere in the car without me since my son's birth? Once. And I was a nervous wreck. I do see this as a deal-breaker in most relationship, but he is worth the frustration because he is an amazing person and an incredible husband and father. Just not a good driver. So when we strike it rich, we can just hire a driver. My husband is an awesome person but can’t drive to save his life.

I hate seeing people brag about their fancy car that cant drive, & be chauvinist enough to complain about a woman not appreciating a nice ride ("I bet daddy bought them that"); then turns around and can't parallel park. Or worse, not have a clue about a check oil light on the dash then not know how to open the hood. Ladies, if you know you can drive better than him, F--- his ego, take over. I'm tired of sharing the road with morons. Amen to this article, I shook my head so bad tonight by some guys driving, I had to google this topic to vent.

I have low vision and can't pass the vision test to get a license. What about people like me who CAN’T drive for one reason or another?
