Wife is careless driver

[Anonymous]

I am a wife that has trouble with parking. I have had my share of brush offs with walls, poles, and dividers when parking. I am currently working extremely hard to improve these skills. I felt guilty towards my husband. This is the only problem that I create for my husband. We have an older car as we don't have financial opportunity to buy a new car with built in controls that would help with my problem. My husband gets a bit irritated when I hit parking pole but he sees my efforts towards an improvement. Other than this my husband is happy with me.
I hope you find it in your heart to have some understanding towards your wife. That is, if she genuinely wants to change. If she is careless because she wants to be that's another story (and a larger problem).

How much is your car insurance at this point?

They're just fender benders until she kills someone or gets in a serious accident, which is inevitable if she's distracted, not checking when she turns, and getting in multiple accidents.

She should take a defensive driving class and you should buy her a new car with the latest safety features. It will be worth it in the long run.

I'd force her to take driving lessons. Also, she should not have ANY electronics in the car until she's been accident free for over a year. If she's driving somewhere unfamiliar, she should take a cab/uber/metro.

She can kill someone or herself. This is not a small thing.

Uh no. Because even a car going at slow speed can kill a pedestrian. Or a biker. Or someone on a motorcycle. So yeah, when she runs into a huge SUV, it's just a fender bender. But driving should not be a game of bumper cars.

I'm sorry but you're an idiot. Parking is easy. Is there something wrong with you that you can't park like the rest of the population?

You are an imbecil and Karma is a bitch. Be careful not to fly off your high horse soon. The landing might not be cushy.

Please, tell her to stay in the right lane on the highway at ALL times. For the love of GOD. If she doesn't learn anything else, implore her to stay the F out of the way of the rest of us.

At least I can park, along with 99.99999% of the population.

People who have trouble with parking are fine if they park farther away, or avoid street parking on busy streets.

Distracted drivers like OP's wife are a bigger problem because they could be driving down their own street and be totally distracted and slam into someone in the next lane. I was hit by a completely distracted neighbor who came barreling out of their driveway/gate at top speed without looking while on the phone.

If she is truly distracted, it doesn't matter if she's in familiar areas.
