Prenne le volant vs. se mettre au volant

I wrote "et on avait trop bu pour me mettre au volant" but there was only one option  which was "on avait trop bu pour que je prenne le volant". Why is the first expression not an additonal option?

Hi Viviene, 

Your suggestion would only work if you said -

"...parce que j'avais trop bu pour me mettre au volant" 

Hope this helps!
