Women criticising your driving.
Discussion
I was looking through some old trackday videos earlier and caught this bit at the end of one session.
It's very rare she has anything useful to say in the car.

That one is much better, you would think she would trust himhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpo8RDyOEWYMy girlfriend doesn't criticise my driving but she has started to complain about my speeding which I find rather odd.
2-3 years ago she would have thought nothing of being sat on the back of the ZX7R during summer in jeans and a vest top while I cracked open the throttle, and even would be grinning afterwards, but now 3 years later even if we're in the car the conversation goes something like this on a regular basis:
Her: Tim, the speed limit here is 60 and you're doing 75, can you slow down please.
Me: So? It's not your licence is it? Just be thankful we are going to get there quicker.
Her: I don't care if we get there quicker, you are breaking the law, slow down.
I just don't get it... Neither of us have been caught speeding or had any accidents or near misses or anything.
I think she has been brainwashed by various health and safety courses at work and suchlike, including one on driving. She came home from one H&S course and made me buy a fire extinguisher for the house!

Am I right in thinking that '2-3 years ago' she was a relatively new girlfriend?pilchardthecat said:

Probably moved in now, realises she doesn't have to please you any more, so has also started slowly gaining weight. I'm cautiously counting my blessings. Although that photo of her mother that I asked for has not yet materialised.... Hmmmm
