a) is correct. What is implied here is, "I'm not as stressed [now] as I was when you were driving."
b) First sentence is correct. Second sentence should read: "You barely touch them and the car halts."
c) a little ambiguous but it can still make sense.
d) Correct.
e) This reads better: "When I'm in the car with her driving, I don't like talking on the phone." Second sentence okay.
