Your hubby and my hubby must've taken lessons at the same school. Only it's worse now because he got a ticket and I have to do all -and I mean ALL- of the driving for a few more weeks. Our rides now sound like the following: "Are you going to wait til the last minute to take the other lane?" "The speed limit is 40.... how fast are you driving again?" "Get in the other lane... then you won't have to... oh forget it." "I swear, I HATE when you drive." et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. By the end of the drive, I have no hair left, no voice left from telling him to shut up, and my fingers are embedded in the steering wheel because I'm so darn anxious with him in the passenger seat.

I hold my breath at least five times in any given car ride with him. And I say to him at least 10 times, "Baby, just calm down." Yep, my husband’s the same.

We drive, in the middle lane, and every single other vehicle on the road passes us. INCLUDING SEMI TRUCKS pulling THREE trailers full of potatoes. Eric isn't angry, but he is cautious and ridiculously slow. My husband is a 100 year old behind the wheel. We drive, in the middle lane, and every single other vehicle on the road passes us.

Outside the car: pleasant loving people. Behind the wheel: homicidal judgemental maniacs. I think it is because in life we normally have private spaces (home) where other people do not generally intrude, and public spaces (the mall etc) where we have no ownership and expect less control. But in the car, we take our little private space (car) out into the big public space (road) and we have more of an illusion of control. I try to think of it as being part of a big team. We only score if everyone gets to their destination happy and safe. I have a weekly study group at my church and it is amazing how often driving comes up as one of the issues we need to work on.
