Default My wife thinks I am the worst driver on the planet.

You don't know how many times she has said to me "wait let me drive, I hate the way you drive."
Is it the extra space between cars?
Is it the slowing on curves?
Is it try to make all left hand turns?
I don't know . :sad:

My wife started saying the same thing when I got my CDL. It doesn't bother her as much now that I take wide turns with our 4 wheeler. :lol:

my wife used to complain about my driving, not the speeding per se just that I didnt let people cut me off or take advantage of my extreme driving prowess :wink:


anywho we`re heading out for a weekend after dropping the wee ones off and she starts in again, so I say forget the car we`re taking the truck.... so she heads towards the dodge and I say no we`re taking THE truck.... lets just say 730 horsepower and 2200 ft lbs of torque roaring through 8 inch chico stacks and grabbing 18 gears in 25 seconds got her to leave me and my defensive driving alone :lol:

I've also gotten flak from friends since I got my CDL.

My reply (in Butthead voice) "I've got a pass A@@wipe"

I don't think I've gotten in anything but the right-hand left turn lane either.

After running a forklift for 8hrs I often try to use the turn signal to shift gears; I also find myself reaching for the jake selector in my Jeep when going downhill.

I can relate to this....my girlfriend thinks I drive slow. (in my car) I tell her that I'm sure its because I'm too used to the truck, and am being cautious. I don't drive slow in my 4 wheeler. :wink:
She is just a leadfoot! BTW...I am the one with a squeaky clean driving record, not her! :lol:

People who have never driven a rig will never understand!

I thought I had a Lead foot but my ex-g/f in Green Bay put me to shame.
