Dear Queenie,
My best friend is a terrible driver. She goes too fast, passes when it isn’t safe and honks the horn and gets vexed if another driver doesn’t go what she thinks is fast enough or slows down to make a turn or wait for someone to enter the road.
I hate driving with her and I’m afraid she will cause an accident someday and someone will get hurt, especially her kids because she drives that way when they are with her too.
Queenie, I tried to tell her how I feel about her driving but it didn’t do any good that I can see. Is there any way I can get her to shape up?—Scared passenger
Dear Scared,
If your friend will not listen to what you say, there is not much more you can do but refuse to ride with her and pray for her children’s safety.
But where is the children’s father in all of this? Is he involved in his children’s lives and does he know what kind of driver their mother is? If so, he might be able to have some influence on her – such as taking custody of his children if she continues to endanger them (or at least threatening to do so).
