Default What to do about my g-friend's driving?

She simply cannot stay in lane--always drifts left, even
on two lane roads! Sometimes half her vehicle is in the
left lane. Recently she nearly hit a pickup truck passing
us on the left, and when he honked, she got mad at him!

Any ideas on how I can try to help her correct this problem?

Maybe it is a neurlological problem--lesion in the right
hemisphere of the brain

Or maybe because she's Korean (although born & raised in
California)

How about a complete eye physical and a field of vision test to find
her blind spot.

How'd she get a license?

Same way most people get a license in the YSM: Show up, drive around the
block, answer 10 multiple-choice and true/false questions (always
including "True or false: A cop cannot stop me for going only 5 miles an
hour over the speed limit."), and pay the $15.

My ex got her license when she drove on the wrong side of the road and
nearly got in a head-on collision during her driving test. After she got her
license I had to take her out and teach her how to drive and how to park. It
took a while but she eventually got to the point where she is a reasonable
safe driver, I'd say average skill level, which isn't saying much.
