Giving Lifts - the car variety!

If you drive, do you prefer to give lifts or be the recipient of lifts?

I am always happy to drive and give lifts to other people but some times I end up being the passenger. Which is ok generally but, last week I was given a lift to the pub by a friend which was quite scary as she seems to be losing the capacity to think peripherally. Luckily we arrived home safely. But, I think I will stick to my car in future.
