Are they all the same in meaning? Which expressions do we have to use? Why do we use 'if you are driving'? •English - Luthando konzapi, Monday, May 9, 2016 at 11:00am

All are correct. "if you are driving" implies that "you" are driving a car (not driving a golf ball or a nail) in this context. "if you are driving" and "if you drive" mean the same thing.

I think 1-3 is closest to what it means. If you are driving your car (and we are both going the same way), may I ride with you?
