When someone is driving you, do you get scared easily? Flinch, or even yell at the driver or anything?
I don't know about you but if I'm not the one driving- I am easily scared even if the driver has been driving for over 30+ years (like my parents).
I have a tendency to yell at the driver, I flinch, I get scared easily ESPECIALLY with my boyfriend driving. Because he speeds, hes used to his sports car driving technique/manual and even if he drives slow, I still react to it, LOL.
I tell him it's cause I don't trust him driving.
But, it's not with him, it's with everyone else.
I had a friend who drove me, she stopped so hard- I spilled Jamba Juice ALL OVER MY brand new Coach shoes. I was so pissed.
Do you have issues with people driving you??

Yes, when they drive too fast, I will flinch. My husband can drive very fast at times, and I will push my foot down on the floor as if I am braking hard, when he does not come to a halt. I have been doing this for many years now. Not lately though. I do get scared when someone drives really fast while I am in the car. I may just be tempted to tell them to slow down. I know that I have done so with my husband many of times.

I don't really mind as long as the person isn't drunk or feels dangerous. I don't think it's good to really complain while the person is driving because it could cause accidents - most especially if they would stop or flinch as well because of being overly conscious of what you're saying, keeping them from focusing on what they're doing.
Instead, I usually just hold on and keep myself calm, then talk to the person about it when we have already arrived in the area.

Yeah, I yell at my boyfriend but hes used to it and he doesn't flinch or anything or I yell at him when appropriate.
But as to my parents, I hold it in and tell them later.

I'm easily scared but I try to drive so I won't have to be scared.
Thanks for sharing!

Before I got my licence and I was the one riding I flinched so bad. I thought that there was seriously something wrong with me. Like I'd get so scared not just that persons driving but say for instance we were driving a main road and cars stopped at the road I'm be super scared they woudlnt stop in time or something that never happened.
When I drive I don't flinch but sometimes I do think the other cars aren't going to stop and that still scares the crap out of me.
