After driving the 20 minutes or so back to my neighborhood I noticed a car following me so I made a quick turn around the block and took a scenic route around the neighborhood until I felt better. She immediately started giving me the third degree even after I explained that "we just left an ATM and a car I dont recognize has been following me for at least 10 minutes that i noticed". But all I thought about is once you pull into the drive way you are blocked in and a sitting duck with the whole family in the car and I can remember at least 3 incidents in the last few years of people being ambushed in front of their house, and it didnt work out very well for them. Maybe I watch to much news?
Why are you listening to a woman?!!

Just kidding, but in all seriousness, I have given lots of women advice similar to what you did while I was at work. They told me they thought they were being followed, and told me they were trying to get home as quickly as they could. I explained several reasons why this would be bad, not to mention none of them armed, all of them had small children with them.
