Exactly what I thought. First reaction was "That girl LOOKS like a bad driver" haha
Seriously, just spring for a couple hours of driving lessons and teach her yourself calmly and carefully and she'll do fine. My ex gf was terrible so I paid for an hour with a pro instructor and then took her driving for about 4hrs. after all through city traffic, a lot at rush hour, and just walked her through things calmly while she recalled what the instructor taught her (I already noticed a huge improvement from that hour alone). It's often they just lack confidence and get panicky etc. Calm them down and build confidence and they'll learn. ... I haven't a fucking clue where the hell she is now. But I can tell you for a fact she can outdrive 90% of the people on here.

I just read "My gf sucks...." and ran in here. Then I realized it was about sucking at driving...Booo!
Anyways, I say dump her for an older chick, unless she's hot. If she's hot, then deal with it and dont ever get in the car if she's driving. Dont let her drive you're car and maybe buy her a football helmet and pads? Goodluck |

Why are you driving 8 hours to buy an integra? How can there not be one that's local? I drove 10 hours to get my convertible S13, but an integra? If you think she's just gonna fuck it up, why not get like a corolla?
One of my friend's girlfriend was just like yours, she would literally cry when she hit the onramp of an expressway. Once we were driving in her car and she accidentally got on the freeway. She started panicing and pulled to the shoulder, my friend had to drive. She didnt take lessons or anything, but she eventually just got better at driving. Just give it time and for now buy her a crappy car. By the way, you guys have some balls to let your girlfriends drive your cars. I think I would have a mental breakdown if I let my girlfriend borrow my car, and she's an average driver. |

just remeber start off slow and with the basics. sounds like she never got them. also if you have the option start off in an auto, less things to do more ability to concentrate on the driving aspect. also take her out and demonstrate the limits of HER SPECIFIC car to her. im not saying do e-brake driftinf or stupid things, but go to a large parking lot and brake until they lock so she knows the limits. show her WOT acceleration. etc. that way if she ever needs them shell have a good idea of what itll feel like.

My girl is the same way - she didn't take her car to school with her because she says she would never drive anywhere. I tell her why don't you get the car so you can visit me? She would rather hitch a ride...

Its actually kinda stupid, she wants matching cars with me. I bought my 99 Clover green Integra, she was also looking for a car but it had to be auto and 4 door. So I found a 98 clover green integra 4 door, auto. So we drove 3 hours there and 3 back. Now that she wrecked that one, she found another exactly the same 4 hours away. 4 there 4 back. I really don't care what she drives as long as she doesnt wreck it. But it looks like shes not ganna be 100% happy unless its the same car.

Update- Totaled second Integra today.
Bad news is, For some stupid ass reason, after she wrecked the first one. Her dad decided he didn't want full coverage on her car anymore. It wasn't her fault and the car that hit her was stolen and the guy took off. So a total loss on this one.

No, of course it wasn't. Things that consistently happen are always by chance. You have one option, kill her.

take her driving in rush hour traffic and change lanes a lot so she can get the hang of it in slow moo.. then try it again in no traffic at all, like 9pm. freeway first and after she mastered those, randomly order her to make rights, lefts, exits, turns changing lanes. Thinking about it, she just needs more practice.... yet some people suck at driving GL

Get her into a defensive driving class and then buy her an old civic or a 1g integra to learn how to drive. If that doesn't work then just get her a public transportation schedule.

teach her how to drive correctly. let her watch you drive for a couple of times in different situations of driving( heavy traffic, flowing traffic, etc.) then let her drive and correct her mistakes she makes. hopefully you can teach your girl how to drive. wish you luck

this is not her fault, just bad luck... although one could blame her that she could have avoid it, but better than she ran into someone.
