I am 16, and I have been driving for about a year and a half. I currently drive a 1987 Honda Civic--manual transmission. My mother trusts me completely when I am driving. She usually makes me drive when we are running errands, as a matter of fact. My friends trust me to chauffeur them around, too. However, I simply cannot convince my grandmother to let me drive her car--not even to the store, which is 5 minutes away--right down the street! She owns a 1998 Ford Mustang, and treats it as though it's solid gold, even though she's dinged it up quite a few times.
I have driven it before, and she has freaked out when I went the speed limit (she usually goes about 35 in a 45 mph zone), and is utterly convinced that I'm going to kill someone--not to mention her beloved car.
She is 74 and is quickly losing her driving ability--she usually drifts into other lanes, and has a tendency to drive either in the bike lane or the grass.
Is there any way to convince her that I am a safe driver?
