I understand your feelings, and intellectually I would agree that it should 
have been ok for him to ride.  However, having been married to a sighted 
woman once, I will also say that you sometimes have to do things to keep 
peace in the family that you may not be completely comfortable with. 
Hopefully over time you can talk it through with her and reach a palce that 
is comfortable with you both.

There are tricky issues with sighted wives, driving, dependency, 
independence, and other issues.  It isn't always simple or logical.  And for 
her it may have to do as much with your and her relationship as with 
driving.

Sorry I don't have a better answer.
