| Nov 29, 2018 at 10:42 | comment | added | Virtuous Legend | I asked for both since in some languages that I mentioned all of those are in one verb (whether is the passenger or the car they are refereed in one verb in those languages). | |
| Nov 29, 2018 at 10:39 | comment | added | TimR | Now are you asking for a verb for what a passenger or driver does? The sentence you added has a person ("I") as the subject of the verb. | |
| Nov 29, 2018 at 10:39 | comment | added | Virtuous Legend | I added a new example and edited the question to make it understood. | |

You ask for a word that means "going by a vehicle" yet in your example sentence the subject of the verb going is "car". How can a car go by a vehicle? (I hope no one will say "on a car-carrier".) The phrase by a vehicle refers to a vehicle as the mode or means of travel. They went by camel into the desert. Do you mean as a vehicle? Are you asking for a word to describe what a car does? | |

I assume this was a typo, feel free to roll back if it wasn't.
