I'm a passenger and I do have the driving licence which I took for the same safety reasons that are you thinking about.
As an "emergency driver" I drove only once when we fell and my "official driver" twisted his knee...in that case he was the one trying to steer the bike from the back
I do drive sometimes but I feel confortable only when the bike is not fullly loaded (we have a Transalp which is not small by itself + panniers on both sides and another bag on top + my boyfriend, all this make a lot more weight than what I can hold).
Or maybe this is just an excuse and I'm just lazy and like to be carried around...
From my own experience I can tell you that even if she takes the driving licence, but she doesn't feel confortable to drive she will never do it, you cannot force her into taking it otherwise it would be a waste of money.
When I took the driving licence I chose to take it with our motorbike, not a smaller one, othervise I would have never felt confident with a 250kg bike...
