I'm heavily pregnant and terrified of having a car accident. I have no problem getting in car with DH or friends who are good drivers (though TBH I'm on edge of my seat as feel very protective of baby). Normally I'm not a nervous passenger at all. Due to medication i'm unable to drive myself at the moment.
My friend passed her test a few months ago after multiple failed attempts. She's already had a couple of minor accidents. She is naturally scatty and easily distracted, and recently reversed into someone's car in a car-park because she 'forgot it was in reverse'.
She is coming to visit for a few days when DH is away. I'm tempted to insist we take taxis everywhere (this will be expensive but I'm happy to pay for them and would feel much safer). How can I insist on this without upsetting her? I thought of saying it's difficult to park at the places we're going, but it's not and she'll realise.
Or AIBU to feel so worried?

To not want to get in car with my friend who recently passed her driving-test? How do I avoid offending her?
