I prefer to be the passenger because a driver has a lot of responsibility, while a passenger can do many things they want during the trip. As a passenger, I can appreciate the scenery more and can even read novels or play games on my cell phone. If I get tired, I can take a nap, which is definitely a luxury for drivers.

Well, to be honest, I prefer to be a Patroness. It is more relaxing, comfortable, and it gives me a chance to enjoy the trip, listen to music, and even take a rest. So I think being a Patroness rarely suits me.
