Would You Rather Drive Or Let Someone Else Do The Driving?

I would actually rather someone else do the driving. I am a good driver, but Im from the country, and am very bad at directions when it comes to driving in the city. My boyfriend on the other hand lives in the city and knows all the ways and shortcuts to get EVERYWHERE. I dont mind diving and I will because its not fair for him to always do it, I am just not the type that likes asking every two seconds if I got to keep going or turning. So if he feels like driving ill let him drive my car that way he doesnt have to drivfe and waste money with his car just because I hate driving.

I still don't have a car yet that is why I prefer to let someone else drive for me. But I i'm planning to buy a car on my own and when that happen, I would rather drive myself because I trust myself and my capabilities. Beside, I only let others drive for myself if that person is can be trusted like a member of the family. My dad usually drive for me because he has a car and I trust him. But others? I feel nervous when I commute or take a public ride.

I'm the one who's always ridding the bike when I go out with friends. I love riding the bike and feel a rush when I'm on one and try to hit some real speeds on them. This helps me stay focussed on the road and that also helps my pillion behind shut his mouth because talking while riding is something that I do not encourage. It disturbs concentration and most of the times irritates me to hell. So I prefer to speed a lot. If I want to talk to the person seated behind, I just take it slow and stick to the lower speeds on the speedometer. I have never faced any arguments about how I drive although I have to say that I surely was told that my driving was bad. That was three years and ago and my style of driving has changed considerable through this time. bourne

I would rather drive. I hate riding in the car as a passenger, especially in the back seat. I once drove 14 hors straight simply because I didn't want to sit in the back seat. unless there is enough room for me to spread out and fall asleep I want to be in the driver's seat.

i love driving , whenever i got chance i take advantage of that and use to drive.

Hi! i am the same as you i hate being a passenger, it makes me very nervous! I was in a car crash a couple of years ago and i had to be cut out of my car, it was pretty frightening which has made be a bit anxious about travelling in a car, but i feel ten times worse when i am being driven by someone else. it isn't really a reflection on anybody else's driving, it could be the best driver in the world behind the wheel and i still wouldn't feel completely safe! I think it is because when you are driving you feel as though you are totally in control of the situation and therefore you feel safer. I argue with my father if i am ever in his car as he drives quite fast and gets angry with other road users very easily, this makes me nervous and we always end up shouting at eachother, we live at other ends of the country so fortunately this doesn't happen very often, but i always try and make him let me drive to avoid a fight!

I rather drive. It gives me a chance to escape and think about things more clearly when i'm driving. I think really well when driving and can come up with confident answers about my thoughts than if I was doing other things.

I would feel bored sitting as a passenger in the car.I would rather drive the car because i love driving.

I enjoy driving but when I'm back in my home country I really enjoy to be driven around. This is partly due to not knowing how to get around by myself as well as the traffic. Most of my family back home are very good and safe drivers, but one of my cousin-in-law is what you can term as an angry driver. I hate it when he drives as he drives unnecessarily fast and quite recklessly, and if someone in front of him is driving too slow he starts cursing them! So, in this particularly case I would much rather drive and get hopelessly lost then being scared out of my mind!

I would let others to do the driving. I don't like driving. I don't like to pay attention on the road condition as I like to listen to songs and enjoy the scenery along the roadside,lol. I will always keep quiet when someone else is driving because I know if I make noises, they will lose their concentration. It's better to let them judge on their own.

I feel the same way! I would rather my husband drive since I hate driving. I like to just sit back and relax by I am constantly a nervous reck. He is probably not doing anything wrong but its like since I don't have the cotrol of the car when he doesn't brake fast enough or comes to close to a car I go NUTS. I start jumping and getting all nervous. So then he say "if you don't like the way I drive then you drive" I am sure you heard that one before. Most of the time I am ok but if i am in the front seat that is the HOT seat for me. Since now most of the time I am in the back seat with my baby. I now try now to observe the front to much but concentrate and play with my daughter this way I am distracted lol :)

I am glad you brought up this topic for discussion. I am experiencing the same fobia whenever my husband is driving and I am sitting next to him. He likes to speed and overtake other cars, sometimes 4 cars in a row. I am tired of telling him not to speed. The more I scold him the faster he will go. Sometimes he will scold me back because he said my comments will distract his focus on the road. Lucky my heart condition is still ok. Otherwise I will have heart attack while in the car. When comes to driving I don't think he will change. Once he gets the steering, he thinks the road belongs to him.

Definately drive. I am willing to drive the entire trip and only make the necessary stops allowing everyone else to relax or sleep or do whatever. I hate sitting in the passenger's seat during long trips:(

If I have my own car I will drive for my own. If ever accident will occur I cant blame anyone else but myself. It is more convenient to me if I'm the one who drive.

I like being the passenger. Other people on the road scare me. The things they do can turn your hair white.

I am always the passenger and like it that way. I wonder if my husband thinks I am a a bad driver or just likes to drive? haha

Yes that can be a problem if one passenger is very nervous a bit more than usual. That can make the other driver nervous as well and can actually be dangerous too so it is best maybe if you do take over the driving if you are unable to be curb that behaviour. For me if I had a car that I loved to drive around and was proud of well I would want to drive it and probably would not allow anyone else to drive it either. However I have a manual car and my partner always complains about the way I drive it, it is no surprise to me because it is not the car I really wanted and also not really a big fan of manual cars to begin with. I so bad want an automatic one, however I don't want to be ungrateful for the car I already have. So I am going to be patient on that note. I do however prefer it if my partner drives this way I don't have to hear him go on and on about certain things and also it can be annoying too at times and distracting from the road. So that is how we deal with it. I dream one day of owning a car that I love to drive and have no problem driving. I mean with the manual car, my foot is kind of on the lazy side. I am okay driving this one but I do fear that I may not be driving it in a way that is good for the car meaning I release the clutch too quick and it is a bad habit of mine I am trying to break, it was hard because I started off in an automatic car and that is what I was used to. Oh well I guess we all have to get used to some things in life.

I rather drive! I don't trust many people's driving especially with my son in the vehicle. Of course my husband wants to drive everywhere...he only lets me drive if he has been drinking or just tired.

i have to be the one who drives. it scares the hell out of me if someone else is behind the wheel. anytime my husband and i go out i find myself white knuckled and glued to the oh $hit handle of the door. i dont know why i feel this way. so everytime it seems safer for me to do the driving. it could ver well be a controll thing but it is hear say.

I love driving, so I'd rather drive. And when I'm sitting in the passenger seat, I tend to get annoyed about the way people drive, even though I'm not a great driver.
