It depends on which car we're using. I drive when we're using my car and he drives when we're using his car.

Oh nooooooo! Don't tell me what your insurance premium is.



Sometimes it's much better living near plenty of mass transit.

GOD Bless!

In our case my wife and I have what I suppose are our own cars (I bought her hers and she bought me mine). While she's the registered keeper of hers and I'm the registered keeper of mine the others are in both our names.

The only thing she doesn't drive are the motorbikes as she can't ride them and come to think while she'll take out mine once or twice a week i've never actually driven her car.... hmm.

We pretty much take it in turns.

Normally if we take her car, she drives, and I'll drive if we take mine.
I like a beer or two, and my good lady's not so fussy, so often she'll drive so I can indulge.

Would have to say, can't really be arsed with all this swapping around, whoever comes to collect drives home too.

Depends on his driving skills. If he's not a safe driver, I'm behind the wheel. I have no problem taking the wheel.

I was in an accident years ago with someone else driving. Consequences were not good. I try to not let it get to me, but sometimes, I HAVE to be the one to drive.

I agree with this but I have to add to it. If I am driving and I pickup my SO regardless of whose car it is I will continue driving. I am not going to put the car in park and move other to the other side(depends on how roomy the vehicle is). That doesn't make any sense to me because it wastes valuable time and he has to readjust the car seat, side and rear view mirrors etc. If we are going somewhere afterwards that I am not familiar with, and he knows how to get there, then he can takeover. Also, if we are going somewhere together and it is long distance, it doesn't matter which car we use, he could do all the driving for all I care.

I agree. It's weird to get out of the car to let someone else drive. I've never personally witnessed what the OP saw either, but I don't doubt there are folk that do it. Beyond that I prefer to drive generally. I get car sick when others drive.

We have separate cars to alleviate this problem.

Generally, I ask him to drive--I don't enjoy driving, and the traffic/congestion in this area makes my stress levels go through the roof. I much prefer to close my eyes and zone out in the car.

If I'm picking him up though, I'll continue to drive. Seems silly to swap drivers unless we're about to embark on a long road trip or something.
