when we were kids, my dad always did the driving whenever we went somewhere together as a family... if both my parents were going somewhere, my dad was always the driver. if i was asked this question when i was a kid, i probably would have preferred my dad in the driver's seat... perhaps because i was more used to it than my mom driving, but now i feel that my mom is a better driver. my dad is super cautious, and sometimes he's just so slow! both my parents have had perfect driving records for as long as i can remember... the only accident i remember was when a car rear-ended ours nearly 20 years ago (i was 5 at the time)
