Why Do People Ask Others to Drive a New Car Home?

[MasonRose]

In fact, these claims are feudal superstitions. It is understood that in some places, there are some rather strange customs where after picking up a new car, the owner cannot drive it home themselves but must find someone else to drive it for them. Otherwise, it is believed that driving it home personally might invite ghost possession, leading to a car accident. You can pick up the car yourself: From a modern perspective, these claims have no scientific basis, so it is perfectly fine to drive the new car home yourself when purchasing it. Ask an experienced driver for help: Since new drivers have not been exposed to cars for long and their driving skills are not yet proficient, coupled with the excitement and exhilaration when picking up the car, driving it themselves might increase the probability of an accident. In such cases, asking an experienced driver to help drive the car home is a wise decision.
