Like, if you said the cars in the speedway circuit, whatever you call that, yeah, maybe you drive that rather than ride it since you have control over the movement. And you definitely drive a bumper car.

TomNook 11/16/20 1:36:06 AM #22:	I think a motor seems to be the main thing that turns something into Drive (in conjunction with not being a passenger). Because you ride a bike, you ride a skateboard, you ride a sled, you ride a horse. Even though you are capable of steering them, the motor is what makes things like driving a car, driving a motorcycle, driving a forklift, etc. The one that stands out from the examples as being different is the horse carriage, but that's more of a different definition of drive, and could be more closely related to driving a nail into a piece of wood or driving away a wolf from your sheep. --- Bells, bells, bells! <cite>TomNook posted [p:947222282] in Do you dri...

People would probably object to saying you "drive" an airplane, even though that's not really different than driving a car. I suppose I can allow that driving a carriage or driving sled dogs is a different manner of "drive" than driving a vehicle and shouldn't really count, but even then, you're just adding one more qualification to the still pretty unambiguous term, and motorcycles cleanly fall well inside either definition My heuristic justifying my definition is basically "how confused would I be if somebody used the term in real life". "Drive a car". Perfectly fine, obviously "Drive a motorcycle". Equally fine "Drive a skateboard". A little weird, but whatever "Drive a treadmill".
