...drop me off...

Where I live, a passenger usually tells his friend, the driver of the car, to drop him off, for example, at the pavement some distance from the bus stop.

Do native speakers also use "drop me off" when the passenger wants the driver to stop at a particular spot? Or should it be the driver who should say "I'll drop you off at the pavement some distance from the bus stop."

Thanks.

Using "drop off" in that way is very common. The passenger can say "drop me off" and the driver can say "I'll drop you off".

The opposite of dropping a person off is picking them up.
