I want to drive the car.

How do you allow a driver to drive too slow or too fast ..........ha ha ha ha

@wiLLmaH Oh Really! Does your sarcasm work?...ha ha ha ha ha

@dpk262006 i plays sarcasm when I do not like the diving. Haha.

Don't you ever feel that you should be at driver's seat?

@dpk262006 NO, because I never ever even tried to drive a car, I do not feel how this looks like.

@LadyDuck - So you are happy sitting at the passenger's seat.

So you love to be on passenger's seat so that you could enjoy the scenery while moving in a vehicle.

@celticeagle It is always better to avoid stress.

@dpk262006 ...I do and I don't need the stress of driving. I am allergic to stress.

@SIMPLYD - Being a passenger is better than being a driver. You should advise your hubby to keep a check on speed because higher speed could land us in trouble not because we are not concentrating but due to fault or carelessness of other driver(s).

You better be a passenger in a car because if you attempt to drive and get nervous seeing a big car in heavy traffic, you may find it difficult to navigate and it could cause even accident.

@dpk262006 Yes, i know that . That's why forever , i would just be a passenger . When hubby drives so fast , i get nervous and tell him to slow down .

So you have yet to learn drive. I can understand that you like to be a passenger because driving is really exhausting and it could put pressure on our mind. One needs high level of concentration while driving. You are well aware about the heavy traffic in the Metro cities, so it becomes all the more difficult to drive in metro cities. PS - Hope you are doing fine.

@ria1606roy - Yes, there is no harm in learning driving. If you know driving, you could drive in case of an emergency/need. You could learn it during your vacation. However, you need to practice it to gain confidence on Kolkatta roads. Hope you would have done well in your exams and you will come out with flying colours. I was on sabbatical and was away to Bangalore, so I could not logged into mylot for the last few days.

@dpk262006 I do plan to learn driving but not all the time. And I hope you are doing well too. Exams are almost over so I've been coming to mylot for the past week.

Yes, you are very right that it is human nature that we long for what we do not have.. You have given some excellent examples which hold true for all of us. When we are short in height, we want to be long and vice versa. When we are at a hilltop, we want to be on the ground and when we are at ground, we want to be on top.

I never learned how to drive.. Now I regret :)

First of all profile picture, which appears to be of your daughter, is looking wonderful. So you like to be passenger because you do not how to drive. But I've heard that you know 'how to drive your husband'

@SIMPLYD sorry for the wrong guess. Even if it is your picture, you are looking beautiful. But my second guess was correct that you know how to drive your hubby crazy........ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

@dpk262006 How can you say that it's the picture of my daughter ? That's me ! Yes, i am always a passenger never the driver . But as to driving my husband , yes i know how to drive him so angry at times .

Do you drive and do you wish to change if it is a long journey?

@cacay1 - It is sad to hear about accident of your niece. Yes, driving at high speed could be hazardous.

Driving at a high speed could sometime turn out to be a risky. It would be better to leave 5-10 minutes early for your destination rather than hurry for your destination. How big is your campus?

@dpk262006 My campus has 6 hectares in size with a population of 13,000 college students only with 92 courses.Actually, I learned a lesson out of my action when my niece met an accident last year. Her car hit a hard cemented wall in the Muslim area in Mindanao for a reason of making a detour.That Muslim did not give way and the road is a 2 lane road , she was driving fast, so to avoid hitting that Muslim she made a fast U-Turn only to hit that hard cemented wall. She was hospitalized and her arm was cemented. She is back to driving now and promises not to drive fast.I also lowered my speed.

Yes, driving is a tedious and an expertise job and those who drive in heavy traffic could realize the hazards of driving, specially here on Indian roads.

@shshiju - Same is the case in every major city of India.

@dpk262006 One who are able to drive in our Cochin traffic they will drive in any roads. Lol

It is understandable if you had an accident, it is difficult for you to drive. It would be better for you to be on passenger's seat.

@dpk262006 I no longer have any difficulty driving.

Does it mean that earlier you used to drive or you tried your hands on driving, however, few bad incidents discouraged you to be on a driver's seat?

@Gabugs - I can understand that once a bad incident happens while driving, it leaves an impression on our mind and next time we feel discouraged to drive.

@dpk262006 Yes, you are right. After that, I was too scared. However, it wasn't anything major.

Nice to hear that you also face this kind of flip flop. In brief I would say that the decision to implement odd and even formula has yet to be given final shape and the one who uses his car to go to his work place has not appreciated the move of the Delhi Government.

@dpk262006 yes definitely anyone would not like to leave their comfort but nothing fruitfull comes without any cost.

It means you have great confidence on your own driving and you prefer to drive rather than be a passenger, until and unless you are pretty sure about the other person's ability to drive. It would be advisable to listen to music at an appropriate volume, loud volume could distract us from driving.

@abhinalstrikr - I agree with you.

@dpk262006 yes,i don't like only sitting rather a exchange is better after certain distance of travel.

You're not interested in driving a car and moreover you do not want to travel long distances in car even as a passenger. No doubt buses are much bigger and safer than cars to travel.

Does not matter if you have already posted on it. For you it would be better to take a ride rather than drive.

Yes, traffic everywhere is nerve wracking.

Yeah, it is always enjoyable to be a passenger because you could look around. On the other hand while driving, you need to fully concentrate on driving.

So you like to be on a passenger's seat?

You mean to say that you just cannot tolerate inefficient driver and in that case, you will throw him away to take driver's seat?
