my boyfriend tells me how to park the car or how to drive a car when i drive. then instead of being supportive and patient, he starts yelling. don't get me wrong. he is a very sweet man except when i am a driver and he is a passenger.
i really like to hear men's opinion. is it because we are women? what is it?

Well to better your understanding where he is probably coming from, here are a few things to consider. First off by the sound of it he is more afraid of what could happen being that he isn't in control of the piece of machinery he is riding in. He's not saying he doesn't trust you, he's simply saying that he trusts himself to try and keep the both of you and loved ones safe from the life threatening things in this world. Another thing, as it is a ongoing and proven fact, most women aren't great drivers. Don't get me wrong, there aren't a bundle of men either but it's a fact that women tend to cause more accidents on the roads these days. I don't know what exactly it is, maybe it's the idea of putting on make-up while driving because you're late for work or a date. Or because you're so intuned as to your best friend Sheila is telling you the details about her hot date from last night at a club which ended in a hot and steamy night much like those in a romantic novel, I don't know. But there is something, rather many things that goes through a womans mind while she is driving which in turn neglecting the task at hand. Sure driving may seem simple until you consider the possibilities of a pedestrian making a sudden decision to pop out of nowhere and not being aware of his surroundings, or a lane change from another driver, or even an object small or big coming into view of your path which causes you react without thinking. There are many factors, and not only women but men as well, that we disregard from the moment we get into our vehicles. Needless to say you are not the only person on the road and he knows and realizes this and doesn't want to see anything bad happen to you nor would he want to live feeling that he could have done something to change how the outcome would be less severe or whatever, if something bad were to happen. He can tone down a bit though, as being yelled at can be a cause of an accident. So with that maybe you two can take the time and have a civilized talk as to why this is so and how you two can compromise in this situation. Maybe something good can come out of this or so I hope for your relationship it does.
Good luck!!!

I do not do "passenger" well when anyone else is driving. It may seem sexist, but I am much more uncomfortable with a woman driving than a man.
My wife is a good driver.When we are out together, I do the driving. I just do not want to give up control! I am comfortable and relaxed while driving. When I am a passenger, I can not relax. If another male is driving, I am less stressed than with a woman!
You can say it is wrong. You can say it is unfair! I will tell you that it may be so, but I am not going to change! It is a part of me, and you can accept it, or you can complain. My wife loves to drive, and is usually the driver when she and her friends go out! She also has accepted the fact that I am the driver when I am in the car!!

Well I find it very hard for any body else to drive. It is due to the loss of control and the fact that your life is in some body else's hands. Plus it just does not feel right being in a car with out your hands glued to the steering wheel.

I am a much better driver than my DH...not my opinion only...yet he feels the need to give constant comments while I'm driving. I, on the other hand, bite my tongue & try to zone out when he's behind the wheel. Dont know why he cant be as courteous

not really. there are guys that are just silent. it just so happen there are also guys that would prefer things to happen their way. or maybe they think that things could have been better. either case, just discuss it with him lightly. we all have different reactions to different situations! =)
