Hello MyLotters! For me, driving on my own is something I love to do. I have been driving eversince And sometimes it does not make me any comfortable when I have a driver. Sometimes I end up giving the driver comments in his driving. lol How about you?

For me same to you driving on my own, Because i can control my hands and focus in driving. And you can see and judge who's surround you not caring other drivers to avoid accident...

People really do have different point of view. But as of now, I always wanted to have a driver! Because I wanted to be treated as a princess and I definitely need a driver! If not a driver whom my mom should pay, it could be a boyfriend who can drive for me! isnt't that sweet and no sweat all!?

hi there! oh yeah, i have so many friends who are like you too. =) and its actually okay. i even have this friend who would rather not go out id there is no one to drive her. everytime i ask her to go out with me, i always end up picking her up if no driver is available. i am okay with just me driving, its something like an independent thing for me to do. thanks for your response! happy myLotting

Hi I would prefer to drive on my own. Well after learning driving i must say i have loose some excitement of driving. As after learning in most of work i have to drive in my family. I mean to receive someone or to bring anything(like shopping and all that) from somewhere I have to drive. So sometimes its feel boring. But still for any holiday or and other long drive i would enjoy and prefer my driving only.

I do not have my licence but I would prefer to have a driver. Driving requires a lot of concentration and requires some degree of luck (due to some persons' poor driving habits).

Hi! I agree with that thats why everyone should learn how to be a safe and defensive driver. I have been driving for more than 15 years and I guess I have learned a lot in driving too. thanks for your response.

I usually like driving on my own so I could play loud music and sing HAHAHA! but the problem is that I am not a very good driver. I've had a few dents and scratches and I'm even thinking about quitting :( So I guess, I prefer having a driver.

I used to love to drive when I was younger but not anymore. I usually let my husband drive when we go places now.

Hi shynie! I'm a new driver and I only drive a scooter. I like driving but there are times that I wish I was just back-riding. It's fun to drive a scooter, it feels like I can go anywhere and I love the feel of the wind in my skin. (That's why my complexion has darkened!!!! .

Hi!I drive on my own.Having a driver is an expensive proposition.Getting a good driver who drives carefully is another chance i don't want to take.When the traffic is heavy or i have to drive a lot i crave for a driver but i otherwise am quite happy driving on my own.

Generally, I prefer driving on my own because I could save some money from paying for the salary of a driver. However, if I feel tired, I would like to have a driver. Bottomline is, my preference of whether to drive on my own or not depends on my physical status.

Ever since I got my license I've been loving to drive everywhere, however on long journeys or highway driving, it's nice to have someone else driving so you can relax and not have to be paying constant attention. I like nice, regular drives though.

When I think of what I´d do when I win the lottery (I don´t buy tickets ), I always imagine myself with two luxuries: a driver and a hairdresser. I need desperatly both of them .I have never been able to arrange my hair and my eyes are worse every day. I don´t drive by night anymore and to hire a cab is so expensive that I can only do it when in extreme need. I usually don´t give instructions to the driver, when someone else is at the wheel. But I do show parking places at the super (other drivers usually select another one).

It depends...I love the independence of driving, but I also get nervous when I'm driving other people, especially if they've been driving many years (I passed less than a year ago). So if I'm driving myself somewhere I'm worried about not being late to, like an exam or work, I would rather drive myself. If there's a group of us...I'd rather have a driver.
