I'm a woman, and I drive whenever my husband is not in the car (so our kids know I can drive). I have a better driving record, fewer fender benders per adjusted mile. However, he is so critical when he is the passenger ("that's not the way I drive!") that I prefer not to drive when he's in the car. That's fine with him too. And since I can relax when he's driving and even nap on trips, and he is incapable of relaxing when I drive and certainly can't get any rest, why not let him drive? That way one of us can rest, enjoy the scenery, maybe read a little.
Oh yes, and he enjoys driving, and to me it's a way to get where you want to go and move the things you need to move. That's also why he has two sporty cars, and I have a safe and boring station wagon.
