I try not to be a couch quarterback when someone else is driving. I'm not the perfect driver and neither is anyone else I've met.
However, for all the faults I've seen while driving, this one drives me up the wall the most.
My GF, when driving, does not coast. She is either on the gas or the brakes, and especially on the highway this irks me to no end.
In the city, fair enough. You're always getting up to speed or coming to a full stop, and with all the surprises that can pop out, I don't want to give anyone grief for anything short of egregious.
However, on the highway she'll get within 1-2 car lengths of the car in front, and because she's on the gas she'll eventually get within one car length. She brakes enough to get back to 2 car lengths, and then starts creeping up, then brake, then gas. No wonder she gets 23 MPG on her 2013 328i. I exactly don't hold back while driving my GTI and I get 25-26 on average.
That's my rant of the day. Anyone else have spouses with similarly frustrating driving habits?
