Ex wife had 4 accidents in her first year driving, followed by many more over the 5 years she drove, finally stopped driving after writing her car off by hitting a parked car on a 2 lane road where you can get 4 cars abreast and the parked cars as well without issue. Sitting in the passenger seat was terrifying, the normal rules of the road, lane discipline etc were thrown out the window.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
