OK, we live in Alberta and travel through the mountains fairly often so we are somewhat imune to heights. When I read your post and spoke to my wife (who can get nervous in a parking lot) neither of us could recall anything threatening about this drive. I looked at my pictures and there is one of a long stretch on a hillside but not what I would call cliffside.
We were in a rental car so hills would not have been an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed Cape Breton including the Cabot Trail. We even took a side trip from the trail to Meat Cove on the Northern tip of the Island. The only apprehension I recall was stepping around a moose on a hiking trail.
Does your wife drive? Sometimes it is easier being a driver than a passenger. The most extreme example I ever saw of this was on a commercial flight (737 type plane). We were landing in Hay River NWT which involves circling over Great Slave Lake and touchdown right on the shoreline.
The fellow beside me was in obvious discomfort holding on and extremely nervous. Talking to him later I found out he was a bush pilot. He said I have no problem when I am at the controls. I do as a passenger.
