Man she looks scared stiff - and you seemed to be driving very safely.
Is she normally so scared when driving or being a passenger? Seems an abnormally over reaction to the experience.

Have you scared her before with fast driving?

No, I have never scared her before while driving. She said later that she felt scared as soon as she got in the car? Why, I don't really know and nor did she? We both had a good laugh when we played back the video though :D

Green shows linear Gs-thicker the higher
Yellow shows lateral Gs

Take a ride as a passenger, no wheel in front of you and the 'G' forces kick in!! It doesn't quite feel the same as YOU are NOT in control!!

I often ride as Passenger with Lisa driving, on road and track. It is all about confidence in the driver in my experience.
