As someone who loves to enjoy life and have a good time, I can tell you that the answer is clear: being driven is the way to go.

Sure, driving can be fun sometimes. There's something exhilarating about being in control of a powerful machine, cruising down the open road and blasting your favorite tunes on your stereo. But let's be real, how often does that actually happen? More often than not, driving is a stressful, time-consuming hassle that leaves you feeling drained and stressed out.

Being driven, on the other hand, is pure luxury. You get to sit back, relax, and let someone else do all the work. No more traffic jams, no more searching for parking spots, no more road rage. Instead, you can use that time to catch up on emails, read a book, or just take a nap. Plus, if you're lucky, your driver might even offer you a complimentary bottle of water or a snack.

Of course, there are some downsides to being driven. For one thing, it can be expensive. Hiring a private driver or using ride-sharing services can really add up over time. And if you're someone who likes to be in control, it can be hard to relinquish that power to someone else.

But for me, the convenience and comfort of being driven far outweigh the costs. I'd much rather arrive at my destination feeling relaxed and refreshed than stressed out and frazzled. Plus, if I'm being honest, I kind of like feeling like a VIP when I'm being chauffeured around town.

So, to wrap it up, if you're someone who values convenience, comfort, and a little bit of luxury, being driven is definitely the way to go. Just sit back, relax, and let someone else do the driving.

Being driven is a NO contest.

As long as my chauffeur is well paid, mentally alert and has good defensive driving skills, we are good to go.

Depends on the car
You enjoy some cars when you seated at the back seats (luxury cars)
you enjoy some cars when you drive yourself (sport cars)
The most comfortable seat in a Rolls Royce is the driverโ€™s seat.

Seating at back of car while someone else is driving the car is good. Many folks can afford this because labor is cheap here in Nigeria.

When you step out of Nigeria, donโ€™t even think about it because only the super rich can afford to employ a driver in the western world.

OP, thatโ€™s your opinion. But I hope youโ€™re not a lazy man. Anyway, to answer your questionโ€ฆ. itโ€™s all dependent on what youโ€™re driving. I can drive my car from Nigeria to Japan without being stressed out and frazzled. At least, Iโ€™d believe in my journey, make no person carry me go jam anything. I can be driven if only itโ€™s not my ๐Ÿš˜.

You are not far from the truth and this is why I will continue to let the World knows about Mr. Sujibomi (SUJIMOTO), you will never see him seated at the owners seat just as most CEO does but for him, it is all about humanity, humility, transparency and the lists goes endless. Just like my brother who is also a CEO like him, I have never seen any of them all my life takes the owner seat while being driven but instead, makes the driver feels homely by seating right at the front with him and this I can tell for a fact is a noble character.
Treassured:
Thee pleasure derived from being driving Is second to none. Most especially If you have a wonderful driver.

Personally I prefer to have a driver who will drive me around. Driving Is fun but can be very stressful at times regardless wether you have an Automatic/Manual vehicle. I have been there.

Anyone who Is familiar with Island/Lekki/Abuja etc will notice most Made People usually make use of DRIVERS. You will see the Bosses relaxing at the Owners seat doing other task while enjoying their rides.

Depends on the car, Toyota, Benz, Honda etc...... it's best you are driven. But If you are behind the wheels of a BMW best drive that car yourself it makes no sense otherwise

I love to drive, it only that it disturbs my receiving calls and making calls due busy schedule
Re: Driving Vs. Being Driven: Which One Is More Convenient? by Caesar25: 7:39am On Apr 24, 2023
Both ways are okay to me .
I enjoy road rage a lot because I know how to handle my accelerator.
There are days I wish someone can drive me .
But when I'm embarking on a far journey, I'd rather be driven

When you are more engaged with calls and other things, you will see reasons to get a driver.
Unless you're a CEO, MD, senior director of a company, I don't see how you'll be busy with calls on the steering wheel.

A young guy would be in office all day until the close of work of which he'll drive home directly. So I'm absolutely positive that he can ignore a few calls while driving and return them once he gets home.

Read pretty much every comment. 99.9% are for being driven. Even the lone wolf that prefers driving feels that way because he wants to be "in the driver's seat" ... Which I take as a metaphor. Fair enough. But the percentage of those who prefer being driven is alarming, and I say that from the perspective of a gearhead. Try telling Jay Leno to get a driver.

YOU should take refresher comprehension classes if you do not understand my comment in relation to yours or ask for clarity.
