Old Hippie Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Seems when I married and brought my wife to the USA, I not only got a wife who had been a professional chef, but a driving instructor as well…never find driving here is nothing like in Thailand, nor the fact that I have been driving for 46 years and my wife is ONLY 40…seems she knows when to tell me to signal, close signal and turn, not blow horn or give the finger, when to brake etc…thank god for her, no idea how I ever got by these last few/46 years without her…I’m still the man/;boss of course… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigger Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 And then there was that time on Phuket where the previously demure and compliant TG on the back of the motorbike, after I made a typical driving-on-the-left mistake, demanded we pull over and let her drive... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you put her in her place and let her know you are the man and won’t be questioned!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survey you mean NOT driving on the Left, or driving on the Right mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigger Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 Yes, a mistake while in a "driving on the left" context. I've never minded driving on the left- except for that one issue where you make a left turn and end up on the wrong side of the street. She turned out to be a pretty competent driver, and took me quite a few places 😉 In my experience, when you find a good one- it's best to let her have her head.
