If the husband drives, he has no one to b*tch at about their driving but himself.

So many responses indicating it should be a more male activity. Very interesting.
We both drive and neither are territorial about it. But I guess since we both like to drive its not an issue. I'm just surprised that so many men feel they should be "the driver".
As far as women driver with hubby as a passenger, cataracts is what first came to my mind. But I guess that affects both sexes too. Maybe the designated driver is more likely!
Interesting observation!!!

I do most of the car driving.... I just like driving more than he does. Another factor.... I am "right eared", i.e. hear better on my right side than left, so can hear him better in conversation when I drive, he rides.

Seriously though, I wouldn't mind my wife driving more, but there is no golf cart trail from the laundry room to the kitchen.

(I sure hope she don't see this)

It's not just golf carts. I see more 20-50 year old women driving cars than when I was that age. It's a different society/culture out there. I like to drive because my wife scares the heck out of me when she gets too close to mailboxes and parked cars.
