Hopefully you will accumulate enough sensible comments in this thread to be able to print it out and show it to her. that way - we will speak for you and you won't get as much heat.
She needs to know that it is not acceptable to be "bumpy". Any driver should know where their car ends. Bumping says that she isn't in control of her car and/or that she doesn't really care. One of these times something bad might even happen, like your fuel pumb shutoff (too many g's and it disables the fuel pump) or airbag might go off. I would be pissed if someone bumped my new car.
I might try just having an earnest talk with her - tell her how concerned you are, etc. and be very nice, but serious.
Also, the problem can be that most women (from my experience) don't use any or many of their rear view side view mirrors. My wife has had three "accidents" in 15 years. They were ALL under the speed of 5mph. Once she is out of the parking lot she is basically ok. Not that I could EVER be in the right seat while she is driving - unless she's taking me to the hospital or something. Can't stand the way she drives. The value and appearance of your car can be diminished significantly from these minor bumps.
