Asking for a friend.

While I seldom engage in automotive misbehavior even by myself I'm even less inclined to do so with anyone *in* the car.

Really most people find it uncomfortable due to the g-forces involved. While I know what's coming and am braced for it passengers are pretty much caught by surprise.

With the wife aboard I generally take motorways, when alone I'll do anything to avoid them.

Ever been scolded by a someone who's 5' 2" and 118 lbs. yet somehow has an attitude? That'll change the way you drive with her in the car.
When i'm by myself, i'm Senna, when i'm driving with her, it's like driving a Sienna.

I drive slower than my wife. Triple digits her.

My wife drives my G87 once a while and she usually is the slowest car in the traffic. Last time she was overtaken by a Yaris which was driving ~33mph and I was sitting in the back row laughing.

Just so remain carefree, I highly recommend you drive tastefully with passengers on board
