Dear Queenie,
My husband can’t keep his mouth shut when I am driving. He is constantly telling me I am going too fast, too close to the car ahead of us, look out for that person waiting to cross the street, etc., etc, etc.
I passed my driving test just fine years ago and I have never been in an accident.
Queenie, how can I get him to shut up and let me drive in peace?—Harassed driver
Dear Harassed driver,
For starters, slow down and keep farther behind the car in front of you.
Then, if he keeps harassing you, pull over the first safe chance you get and offer to let him drive.
If he will not drive (or cannot because he does not have a driver’s licence for some reason), tell him – at a moment when you are not driving or when the car is stopped for some reason – how distracting his instructions are and that if you get into an accident it will be his fault for taking your attention away from driving the car safely.
