I mostly trust others driving, if I'm driving or riding, but I don't ride with other people very often for other reasons. When you are driving you need to trust that the other driver is going to do what you expect or you will freeze up and not get anywhere, I rode with a driver like that once. Of course you must be alert for the unexpected as well. as far as riding with others it's mostly me, for one thing I get nausious and the other is habit. When in HS I was riding with a friend and he rolled the car over, after I got home my Dad looked at me and said "From now on when you go somewhere with your friends You Drive." None of my friends ever questioned, from then on, that I was the designated driver. Of course we would tease that one friend about teaching his car to 'roll over and play dead'.
