Never meet a women that wanted to drive if their was a guy around. Do not know if it is an Alpha male thing or what just my observations.
I have to have a fever of 102°F before my wife will drive and even then I have to ask her. In my wifes case he is a awful driver. I will give her this though her accident's are always single vechile and no one get's hurt.
I drive 99% of the time. My wife sits in the back with my daughter. Only on a super long haul we take turns driving.
My longtime friend Miss Linda doesn't drive. No license and no interest in getting one. Back in 1997 I gave her some lessons, and she was doing fine until she took a corner too sharply during the road test and flunked. (I didn't think ANYBODY ever got flunked in a Louisiana driving test.) Nowadays, when I bring up the subject, she changes it.
Made it really tough when we were escaping from Hurricane Katrina two years ago: I had to drive that first agonizing 12 hours as we crawled out from New Orleans.

Same here ..except I never seem to get a seat equipped with a wheel
I've been playing "follow the leader" when we're together for so long... it's an alien experience to be asked what I want to do. I look at it as a courtesy that she's asking me just so I can say "I don't know. What do you want to do?". I tested alternatives, but there was always something that didn't work in my offerings. She, selflessly, resigned herself to making the sensible choice given the circumstances (her mood ..and my inability to choose correctly).
I do live like a king. Chauffeur. Domestic house keeping. Administrative assistant, high adviser, prime minister, resource allocation specialist to determine "needs" of the realm ...even revolting peasants when I'm a less than ideal monarch sitting upon my throne.

How about T-Bone?
How about...oh never mind.
That reminds me of a funny story. In high school when I took my driver's training road test, I was cruising along and the instructor said "red light." I kept going. "Red light!" I kept going. He hit the shotgun brake. At the end of the road test he said normally he would flunk someone for that but since I was such a good driver otherwise, he would pass me. But that wasn't the worst. There were three of us for this road test and before the instructor got there one kid said, "let me drive first because I just dropped acid" (it was the '70s you know). Me and the other guy said, "sure." But the instructor had her drive last. What a trip! Don't know if she was B Sing us or what but we survived.

Indeed
It may be that I almost ran the red light because I was distracted thinking about the upcoming death ride from the LSD queen.
