Usage: {Ride}, {Drive}. Ride originally meant (and is so used

England, drive is the word applied in most cases to
progress in a carriage; as, a drive around the park,
etc.; while ride is appropriated to progress on a
horse. Johnson seems to sanction this distinction by
giving "to travel on horseback" as the leading sense
of ride; though he adds "to travel in a vehicle" as a
secondary sense. This latter use of the word still
occurs to some extent; as, the queen rides to
Parliament in her coach of state; to ride in an
omnibus.
[1913 Webster]

"Will you ride over or drive?" said Lord
Willowby to his quest, after breakfast that
