Driving is the controlled operation of a vehicle, which is usually a motor vehicle such as a truck, bus, or car. For bicycles, mounted animals (not including chariot operation) and — at least in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada — motorcycles, the corresponding activity is usually called riding (although operation of a bicycle is sometimes called bicycle driving).

Driving includes knowing how to operate the mechanisms which control the speed and direction (which in technical terminology are both components of the velocity), and the braking of the vehicle, and especially includes knowing how to do both safely. An experienced driver usually has an intuitive understanding of the basics of car handling.
