Men driving their female partners car when both travel in it

On my road there are two couples where both the man and woman have their own car, but if they both go out in the woman's car, the man always drives it, also the woman never drives the man's car. One couple is 50s, the other 60s. Does anyone here do the same and would you mind sharing why?

Dp likes driving and I don't. I do it out of necessity. And he gets travel sick on longer journeys as a passenger so it makes a lot more sense!

I always say to my partner (we don’t even live together) can you drive?! I’ll occasionally drive but if we go anywhere far or busy he is a lorry driver he just knows routes like the back of his hand. Hed never backseat drive but I am a strict google maps person it’s just easter. I’m a big feminist. Lol

We are in the 50s/60s age group

I am the one who drives dhs car. He would never dream about driving mine.
He can’t drive it as he finds it too big and it isn’t a car, it’s a very big van

Me and DP both drive each other’s cars, and it’s a pretty equal split of who drives when

DH normally drives when we go out .HE likes driving more and I can sit back and relax!

My DH WFH. I work part time and do all the nursery runs so I end up doing a lot of driving during the week. He's happy to drive us at the weekend so I can relax a bit
