I am definitely the driver.  My wife doesn't like to drive long distances and she won't drive at night at all.  I prefer driving at night when the kids will sleep and there is less traffic.

My wife should drive since she does it better, is always right, and never gets lost ... just ask her. 5t*mp

Though I really am not much of a driving/car enthusiast (it's merely a mode of transportation), I do most of the driving on family road trips. Personally, I'd rather drive than deal with the kids & dog.

It depends, my wife drives a lot as she really enjoys driving and is a good driver. Due to her driving ability and such we got her a BMW a couple of years ago (the ultimate driving machine) and she is in heaven.

I usually drive the long haul marathon type trips (5 hrs +)

Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

I enjoy driving and do most of it; plus, I'm not a very good passenger.  Also, I can rarely sleep because I'm afraid my wife will get drowsy without my talking to her.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

I cannot stand to be a passenger.  I get too bored.  My wife hates driving long distance, so it works out good for us.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

My wife too doesn't like to drive long distances and she won't drive at night at all.
But she also doesn't like to drive in the city with narrow streets, changing left and right and chaos and traffic lights which show always red...
She just drives in our suburb - taking daughter to school and fieldhockey training and playing saxophon and flute and...
But she must take a part of our holiday trip to France: the passage through Belgium is her duty.

If my wife is behind the wheel, I'd have to be heavily sedated. She scares the crap outta me!!! Anyone but her and I'm fine being the passenger.

I'm usually the driver.  Once in awhile I'll take the passenger seat on long trips, but mostly I enjoy driving.

Driver all the way.

Problem is, my wife wants to drive too 'cause SHE gets bored.  But I put it off as long as possible.

my life is nothing but one big road trip, so I guess I'm always the driver.

I drive.  I can't stand to be a passenger when my wife is driving.  I'd rather ride with my 86 year old Grandmother, and she is dead.
