To each their own. Some won't like the repeating code and some won't like the distributed logic (i.e. you have to read every if and if-else statement to know when the else takes effect). I think the use of booleans like isDriverClose makes the repeated logic less messy and reduces inefficiency (if the compiler didn't optimize for you).
