Is "as" the correct conjunction to use here?
A cab pulls up. Jimmy gets in the passenger seat.
Cab driver: Hi.
Jimmy: Hi.
As they drive off --
Cab driver: Where to?

Didn't know if it should be 'as', 'when', or 'while'. – user125207 Dec 17 '20 at 15:25

I would say 'as' is the best. 'While' not bad. 'When' not incorrect, but has a weaker connotation of duration (during). – fev Dec 17 '20 at 15:27

1@WeatherVane Not if Jimmy got in at a traffic light, for example. In any case, it's irrelevant to the question. – Chemomechanics Dec 17 '20 at 20:29
