on wheels

Hi Snoopy,

I like your phrase.

Nothing special strikes me except:

I'm on the road (or on the track).

or perhaps

I'm beating the track or hitting the road?. But I am not sure about this. Is there anybody who nows something better?

agreed

I've never heard 'on wheels' for driving. I agree that 'on the road' is a better choice.

With the dictionary open...

I can confirm that the correct form, according to my dictionary, is

"At the wheel"

Example sentence: Don't speak to the man at or behind the wheel!

More about wheels:To take the wheel and To go on wheels

i)She asked me to take the wheel because she felt tired

ii)To go on wheels means: to obtain success
