Driving is almost 5 minutes and it doesn't feel dragged out at all, imo. Many of kumi' upbeat songs are longer and that's one thing I love about them (and jpop in general). It allows the producers enough time to explore, develop, and expand upon the track. The ones that wind up being shorter never seem to feel like a track that truly stands on its own. It always feels like some general idea that wasn't pushed to its limit (enjoyable vs. mesmerizing).
Of course, when not done right it could feel as if the song is dragging on (good God, I could never imagine Lollipop being any longer than it is). It all comes down to whether or not the song has legs, or whether or not the producers give it some. And this song already has the potential to run a marathon.
