This is true recently. She has always approved of my driving but for the last 12 months she has become increasingly yelly at me, claiming i am driving like a lunatic, getting too close to everyone etc. Now, i know for a fact i am driving the same, i would say as much, she would go ballistic saying I am going to kill them all (I have never had an accident btw). Cue massive conflict.
So a few months back, I rent a Turo and she picks me up after I drop it off and I decide to get in the passenger seat on the drive home, she usually prefers that I drive but in this case i just jumped in the car and this was the first time in 3 years i'd say that I was a passenger to her driving.
GOOD GOD.
I dead set feared for my life. This was white knuckle stuff. She is visibly nervous, driving as you'd imagine a squirrel would, sharp and harsh inputs, but driving slow, always on the brake even on the freeway but jabbing at it, jerking. Her knuckles clenching the wheel, the car jerking from lane to lane then suddenly coming to a DEAD SET CRAWL because "this ramp is scary".
Then it hit me. Her eyewear prescriptions are 9.3 and 10.9, and she had not had a test in 3 years. SHe can't fucking see.
So now she can drive herself but not the kids. Banned.
