Dear Queenie,
I drive to work every morning and I give a co-worker a ride too because she doesn’t have a car, but she won’t talk to me while I’m driving. I asked her why and she said it was because one time I just slammed on the brakes and it scared her. I did that to avoid hitting a bike-rider who had swerved in front of me.
Queenie, if she doesn’t like the way I drive, why doesn’t she get another ride?—Fed-up driver
Dear Driver,
Perhaps your co-worker is just trying not to distract you from your driving. Didn’t she ask you (when it happened) why you had slammed on the brakes? Maybe if you explain this to her it will calm her down.
