Bad drivers

Driving

I gave up driving years ago due to driving anxiety, but I live with my 82 year old grandma and I swear I get more passenger anxiety from her being an innatentive driver than I did driving myself.

One of my friends is a reckless driver as well and jesus I swear I am thinking of getting a car just because I'm terrified of being in the passenger seat with these two people who give me rides.

I have to be in a car sometimes, it's just a fact.

Has anyone started driving again due to passenger anxiety from bad drivers in your life?

I know I can't afford it though and I'm terrified of driving myself so I won't actually start driving again, but it's actually become more of a nightmare since I stopped driving, because at least I was concerned with safety while driving.
