It's a pretty safe assumption the driving critiques have little to do with you. A few questions...
Is she over the age of 22?
Did she grow up in a household of survival or love?
Does her persistent critiques only exist when it comes to your driving? Any other arenas whether its you or someone else?
If I were in your seat, I'd study her body language in the car too. As the questions pour on, what is her self-soothing que? Gripping hands, shifting eyes, holding the armrest, palms down, shoulders forward, etc... One easy to sense this without looking at her gestures is to feel for them, holding her hand while driving(check tension and temp), caressing her neck(check tension in neck/shoulders and posture).
These questions may seem odd but it helps map things out. Whatever the source of anxiousness, the resolve may be uphill but doable.
