You're sharing a taxi, and the driver is speeding. Complete what you'd say to express your wish about the driver's behavior.

I'd rather you ___ more slowly, please.

The correct answer is drove.

When we use "would rather" to express a preference about another person's actions, we follow it with a subject + past simple verb. "I'd rather you drove" uses the past tense to express a present wish — similar to how unreal conditionals work.
