[quote=Anonymous]What's your primary goal here--to punish her or to become a safer driver? Pick one.  If you choose punishing her, then you'll always be the jackass, controlling husband who treats his wife like a child.

But if you choose safe driver, then you can talk to her with reason and concern. You can speak from a place of love. You can talk to her as an adult and as your partner: "Honey, you and the children are my entire world. If anything happened to you, I would be devastated. I have serious concerns about your safety and the safety of our children when you drive.  I can no longer ignore 5 speeding tickets-two of which have been this year, a failure to obey a signal, and an accident where you hit someone. You would never forgive yourself if something happened to our kids because of your driving. It's time for us to deal with this. I need you to attend a driver safety course. I have the information here, and I want you to register and complete this course. I need you to commit to following all traffic signs and rules.  Again, this is because you and the children are my everything. I need you to commit to this class and to driving safely." Then give her the materials to register for the class. Together come up with a time frame in which she'll register such as by the end of the next day. Then she'll have to follow through with the class. Thank her for listening to you and taking this seriously.[/quote]
