This is a delicate male problem which other forumites may have had to face.
My wife is at the time of life, I am told, when she is liable to become scatty, careless, moody and aggresive. It does not do much for her driving style, and on one or two accasions I have actually been scared. She has ignored, or not noticed, speed restrictions, and tends to drive round country lanes in the blissful confidence that there will never be another car coming round the corner.
When I tried having a tactful word, merely mentioning that she ought to have thanked a neighbour who reversed to a passing place for her rather than charging straight past without slowing, it triggered a seismic explosion which threatened to end life as we know it.
Yesterday my daughter asked whether I had noticed that her mother's driving had got worse, and confided that she was now scared of riding in the car with her.
What do you think I should do? Provoke another explosion, or just wait for the inevitable crash and hope that it is only a minor one that will shock her into realisation?
