The driver will always be the main driver, as a drivers mate your task is to provide support. sometimes, depending on the driver, you may be able to share a bit on regular occasions, but that's not the norm.

Question 2

Requirements for drivers mates? Any specific qualifications to work as a driver’s mate? I love the idea but don’t know the requirements. thanks

No formal qualifications required. But there are common requirements like basic knowledge in mechanics for minor repairs, in English and maths for the paperwork involved. Most times you’re expected to have a driver’s license. You need to be physically fit to pack, load, unload… It's a tough job but it gets you places.

I love driving and travelling, do girls stand a chance in this field?

I don’t want to discourage you but you may find some reluctance there… though i think that if you try you may be able to break the prejudice

Thanks Benj, I’d say I can manage. If the problem is female physique, it’s not a real problem for me as I’m strongly built and do plenty of sport, boxing for one!
