Lol i have the same question. My boyfriend likes picking me up and driving me everywhere. Dont get me wrong, im not complaining, but there are times, rarely, that my car’s the one we’re using and sometimes i just want to be the one driving for a change. He doesn't say “no” to it but he’s very uncomfortable with it. He tells me and i can also see it in his face. Its nothing serious i dont think. I tease him a little bit, grabbing his thighs like he’s the passenger princess for once lol.
Anyway, i think its a sense of masculinity thing. Yes, it sounds petty, but some men tend to think that way. That driving the girl is the chivalrous thing to do. Which is true, but it also shouldn’t emasculate them if it’s the other way around. Its not that serious. I love being in the passenger’s seat for the most part though, especially the long drives, so i dont think about it that much.

I don't allow my husband to drive unless I'm dying. Gives me to much anxiety so it's just better if I drive us everywhere
I prefer to drive. I think she prefers it too cause she can crash out for a while lol plus I drive a little faster, I know where I’m going, how long it’s going to take, what stops I want to make. Besides I want to know that if I was ever in an accident I did everything I could to avoid it. Not one of those what if scenarios, like what if I was driving would we be ok. I hope that makes sense. I get driving a little faster doesn’t help my chances of avoiding an accident but I’ve been driving for over 20 plus years w no tickets or accidents, so I think I’m doing pretty good.
My car. I drive.

Nope. I've actually had women insist that I drive though.
I virtually always drive, and all the women I've been with have always strongly preferred that. The only time a girl ever insisted on driving was when she just got a new car (new to her, anyway), and after a couple of days, she was back to wanting me to drive.
I enjoy being driven around🥰. We almost always take my husbands vehicle if we go anywhere as a family or on a date. I drive myself to work and other hobby related activities.
I don’t insist but I do enjoy it a lot. I drive my parents everywhere and I have become the designated driver among my friends in any driving situation…
My mom always insists that I drive. In fact, I am the one who always insists she drives on long roads. She says it is too tiring and I am a guy, so I should do the hard work more.
I am like Heh?
No. My sister always insists in driving if I go anywhere with her. But otherwise typically I drive. I don't insist. The people I go with typically just don't want to drive and I got no problem with it. I do most My driving alone so this doesn't come up much anyways.
Nope. I usually was, though- at least until she'd get sick of the way I drive and insist on taking over.
My man drives when we go anywhere because I don't have licence. It doesn't bother him because he likes to do that for me. But he wouldn't be against me driving him, although only sometimes.
He always drives when we're together. I think it would look kind of weird if I drove and he was in the passenger seat.
When I would drive, I wife would always "Back seat drive" so I gave up and told her to drive. She refused.
I hope so. I hate driving, especially in traffic or long sleepy distances.
Nope. An ex was carsick as a passenger so she would drive us around
No, my SO often drives us when we go out. On long trips, we take turns.
I would need for her to be the driver.
I can drive in my wife's car when she is driving but of she is driving my truck i go nuts.
Usually, but only because it is usually my vehicle taking us places.
If it's my car I do the driving. If it's your car you can drive me.
Not always. Sometimes I wanna enjoy the ride by admiring the scenario around and I can’t do that while driving.
Not at all, I actually prefer to take a break from driving and be the passenger that gets to look around at things.
No not all. I offer to drive but nothing I'd insist on since I know many women that are good drivers.
