[quote=Anonymous]OP here - My sister hasn't had to navigate the situation because she always has her own car when she visits them (she lives closer - we have to fly).

My mom does know and completely agrees that he's a terrible driver and thinks it's funny and laughs about it.  I used to laugh about it too.  Now that I have kids, I don't think it's so funny.  I told her I didn't want him driving them anymore and she said I was "overreacting" and that I'd have to tell him myself because she wasn't doing it (don't blame her for that).  I'm not worried she'll let him drive them when I'm not around.  She has no problem standing up to my dad.  Actually, once I tell my dad, I'm not worried that he'll try to drive them anyway.  He'll listen.  He'll just be very hurt/offended.

To the PP who questioned my logic.  You're completely right.  But after having this conversation with him, I doubt I'll be riding with him anyway.

I mind it a lot less when we're in their neighborhood and if he's just driving the two of us to the store or something.  If he doesn't know where he's going, he's about 10 times worse (we'll be at a destination on this trip).  I've also been speaking up when he's driving aggressively or ask him to please pay attention.  But the time for that is over.[/quote]
