Personally I have a feeling he's starting something because I start my yoga course this evening.
I know he doesn't want to have to pay for a ticket, everything is always about money to him. And control. I doubt he cares if I get into a accident... unless it causes damage to the van that he has to pay for and even if my life were hanging by a thread his concern would be how much the hospital bill would be (*note to self: speak to an attorney about stripping his rights to decide about pulling the plug) or paying for child care.
Thank you for your suggestions K. They are both being taken under consideration
