Is there a legal difference between driving and traveling?
Out of curiosity, what’s the difference between driving and traveling? Is there one?
Rob Shapiro · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Thanks for asking this interesting question! In legal terms, driving typically refers to a person who is operating a vehicle that travels from one location to another. Traveling often refers to moving in a vehicle as the passenger, and not the driver.
Essentially, driving is when you are in control of the vehicle whereas traveling means you have no control of the vehicle or where it goes.
Now is as good of a time as any to look at your
car insurance
to see if you can save money. The best way to do this is with the Jerry
