I don't know that I would agree with this...my partner has damaged our
vehicles 4 times while driving (good thing for him that I am laid back
about such things), while I have had nothing worse happen to me than not
seeing some nails in the road soon enough and getting a flat tire due to
hitting it. He's never gotten any speeding tickets tho'. ;)
I think it is more based on driving experience and spatial relations
ability truthfully. Do you drive more when you go out, or your partner? I
almost always drive...I think that it makes a difference as well because I
am more used to the movement and handling and size of the vanagon...
