Mum, I love you, but please don't grab me by the ear to look at my earrings as I'm trying to drive around a roundabout. Not if you want to be eighty-six, anyhow.
She drives. Very conscientiously. Keeping all the rules, speed limits, etc. Very proud of never having had a single accident in almost 50 years since she got her license. Her insurance premium has got so low it is almost negative. Earnestly watches traffic safety programs on TV...
I haven't driven a car since, erm, 1995, I think. Nobody trusts me with theirs, and I don't feel the need to own one. My approach to driving is rather more slapdash than my mum's, so she's very glad that I don't, as I don't confirm to her high standards and she'd worry constantly if I'd insist.
