    I find myself driving very rarely in this game, it's something of a chore. I wasn't expecting that when I picked it up to be honest, but driving around myself is more of a hassle than its worth, specially when you are rated poorly if you drive recklessly.

    It depends on my mood at the given time. If I feel like I need to earn more XP to rank up some more, then I'll do some side missions. If the case is just so good that I want to get to the next scene as fast as possible, then I just fast travel.

    I really hate the other AI drivers, they suck and end up costing me money.  Just too annoying to bother with most times.

    I drive about half of the time. I've been trying to pick up on some of the discoverable locations, because I am assuming that's an achievement. Actually I should probably make sure of that before I keep going.

    I usually drive so I can get the discussions with your partner, otherwise the driving's kinda meh.

    Almost always driving, Team Bondi spent a lot of time giving us this awesome look of LA so why not enjoy it :)

    Still haven't used fast-travel. I seem to get around without too much needless carnage.

    About 50% of the time, so somewhere between B and C. Your poll is flawed.

    I have used the fast travel twice.


    Other than that, I drive. And it's embarrassing.

    In the beginning I drove everywhere, but as I got closer to the ending I just wanted to finish it.

    I usually want to get places as fast as possible, so when I do choose to drive I often crash into other cars, lightposts or whatever. That's why I usually let my partner drive, just gets through the game quicker.

    The only time I fast travel is if I screw up a case so badly I want to restart it.

    Always.  I don't know why, but I love driving around a city like a psychopath in games.  I guess because driving in real life is so boring.

    I must've missed the tutorial pop-up or whatever at the beginning that said you could fast travel, because I didn't realize you could until I'd just about finished the game.
    Probably would've drove around mostly anyway, just to get some of those side missions done.

    I like hearing the conversations. In GTA games I always stop in front of the marker until the characters finish talking.

    During the story I used fast-travel most of the time from Homicide on.

    The cases are far too compelling, I'd rather go to the next location as soon as possible. Besides, driving isn't a whole lot of fun in this game.

    I think the driving is better than in GTA4 and the cars look really cool, but I seldomly drive.

    Depends on how long the distance is. I tend to drive around for the most part, but if one of those street crimes pop up literally like on the other side of the map from where I'll hand it over to my partner. Sometimes I just can't be arsed as well, but I'm most often behind the wheel. Drivings still pretty smooth and has a good balance between the semi-sim from GTAIV, and the more arcadey driving scheme from every other open world action/adventure game.

    Sometimes. Sometimes I want good end of case marks and don't want my shitty driving cocking that up, but sometimes I just get the odd urge to drive. I absolutely love that the choice is there though.

    B. It is much easier to have him drive instead. 
     
    I just run into things when I do it, and it is hard to find my way around.

    Actually, I've been meaning to ask, is there another way to access the map other than hitting pause and going into the menu? That seems really annoying.

    Usually no because I always end up crashing into shit and getting a lower grade.
