World's worst driver
Marilyn is probably the winner, if we are talking about backing up. She cannot back up in full daylight, out of our driveway, without clipping any car or tree that is unfortunate enough to occupy a space anywhere within 180 degrees to the rear. Whenever the "clippee" asks who could have customised the side of his car, safely parked in the middle of our yard, she innocently says, "Don't look at ME! I'm an EXCELLENT driver." Her and Dustin Hoffman!

I used to be good...
But as the years pile up, I have to be extra careful, particularly when driving the family RV. Just what we need, highways full of old people driving motor homes the size of semis. One cardinal rule of motor home drives is, we are big, we get the right of way! Or so it must seem. My rule is to drive the thing 10 miles under the speed limit on the highway, which endears me to other drivers but at least keeps my and my passengers safe.

Delightful as always! Except for the last bit, which I find somewhat presumptious - since the best driver is none other than myself! I bet
you have never won a bet in your younger days by driving with your left foot nonchalantly hanging out the driver's side window for many a mile - I said I was a good
driver, I didn't say I was
sane, although I did recover a semblance of sanity when we came to a toll booth - I didn't
foot over the money...
