My wife and I traveled almost weekly between her work in Maine and our
Vermont home... I steered the Westy, accelerated and decelerated all of the
trips, except when she followed in our old Saab.  When we arrived in the
Westy at either destination, I always tried to remember to thank her for
helping me find my way, not get in accidents, and for the general
"encouragement" I received when I was surely about to commit a grievous
driving error.
Hmmm.  I don't recall receiving any "your welcomes," though.
