Chauffeur-driven or self-driven?

Whenever I'm riding pillion or in passanger seat; No matter how experienced the person behind the wheel is, I always feel uncomfortable!

Such Incident happen recently. When I was travelling from Pune to Mumbai; Till Lonavala I was behind the wheel, (in Ford Fiesta 1.6 SXI) I touched 150-170 Kmph & From lonavla my driver took the charge & as soon as he passed 80 Kmph, I'd goosebumps all over my body & I told him to be careful! & he was shocked & he told me, "Sir, you were touching 150-170 & I've not even crossed 100! So don't worry!"

I wan't to ask you that is this something happening only with me? or every petrolhead has similar experience?

Apart from this I doesn't prefer a chauffeur, as following pt.s :

  1. One Seat of your vehicle is blocked.
  2. You can't discuss something private with your friends n' family.
  3. You have to take care of him (food, mood & timing).
  4. You've to dicide yor schedule by his conviniece.
  5. You are always tense as a underqualified person is controlling your loving & expencive vehicle!

Not just that if a vehice has to be DRIVER dominated only , people prefer the base variant of vehicles aka commercial purpose.

Another thing is that they prefer a lesser powered vehicle if it has to be completely in the hands of a DRIVER for both the cars and their own sake.

I wont say that they are underqualified buy yes they are more often careless and if that vehicle is part of a commercial fleet they are down right abusive with the vehicle because they know they will get a newer vehicle in 1 - 2 years
