It depends on who is driving. My husband has a tendency to freak me out on occasion because he can't drive and not talk, and he sometimes gets too involved in the conversation to pay enough attention for my tastes. Other than that, he is a good driver, mostly because he doesn't lose his head and he stays calm no matter the circumstances. I feel very safe driving with him during snowstorms. He drives most of the time when we go somewhere together. Hubby says my driving scares him sometimes, but I feel like I'm an ok driver. I know I'm not the best on the road, but I'm not the worst and I practice defensive driving at all times - it saved me from being t-boned yesterday, actually.
I ride in the car with my dad fairly regularly, and he is a good driver regardless of the circumstances. My mom is too jumpy for me to feel safe with during inclement weather or in heavy traffic. I refused to ride as a passenger with my mother in law when she was alive, she was the shittiest driver I've ever met and had no business being on the road. I used to carpool with 4 coworkers, and we all cringed when one lady got behind the wheel. You will find a picture of her under the dictionary listing of "road rage".
I am willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt when it comes to driving. There aren't very many people that make me think twice about riding with them.
