As a gentleman, I’d offer to hold the steering wheel so she has an easier time aiming her lance at oncoming traffic.
She’s in the passenger seat, you can see the car in the background is also right hand drive
Oh, that makes it easier!
Then I would definitely hold the steering wheel.
Let’s be honest: she’s probably not a very good driver. They didn’t even have cars back then, this must be a lot to process for her.
