I think that depends on their read on you. Like, a driver shouldn't visit someone they scumread, because then they open the possibility the entire scumteam will know that they're a driver, regardless of whether they get chosen.

Hence, "blind luck", which to me seems a bit wasteful. We'll see.
yet you didnt claim?

Why is claiming sub optimal?
Either select drivers should claim so we can get some amount of actions going through or we should full claim and organize the largest amount of actions possible.

Let's say hypothetically me and firebringer agree to connect up. Then there is a 50% chance we share the same trait as a driver/blade and we do nothing.
Idk do you think scum have such strong anti claim tools we should just throw away actions? :|
Because scum almost certainly have a role that states something like "You can pick a player and if they are a blade XYZ SUPERBAD STUFF HAPPENZ"
I would literally rather rely on blind pairing luck than this shit day one. Massclaim is gonna be a TERRIBLE look, if we go that route, bad shit's gonna happen. I don't like bad shit happening.
my assumption based on sample roles are that drivers are for the most part, functionally VTs that get to steer night actions. outing the class of roles in that sense amounts to outing PRs which is obviously a bad idea

given some players can choose between driver and blade, I don't think that necessarily matters too much.

there are also probably scumdrivers who will visit townblades and screw with them
