I’ve never had a driver’s license and I never will. Expensive, polluting and boring.

No; I’m a shitty driver and other drivers that are problem drivers combined with my shit driving scare me.

I think I picked it up from my parents (who are both terrible drivers also). I’m sorry everyone! I’m working on it. Really I am!

Driving yes, quite a bit. Especially if you can get out on a racetrack. Was decades after I had left schooling before I realized all that stuff they try to teach you in physics about friction and momentum all actually have real world application for us normies. Would have learned so much more in school if I could have put 2+2 together back then, but I also can’t imagine putting 14 year olds out on a racetrack either.

And even when not racing, just the freedom of being able to hop in the car and drive to another state is just downright liberating. Bored? Well, shit, hop in the car, let’s go have an adventure! (I will admit, at my age, ‘adventure’ is code for ‘ice cream shop’, but it still makes me smile, so fuck it.)

That said, most of us only use our cards for commuting, which is the worst possible experience. It’s no wonder so many folks hate driving, their only experience with cars is the bad one. All of us just sitting in traffic wishing we didn’t have to go to work. I am seriously angry at our world for not pushing much harder for remote working. We proved it worked great during COVID, and yet here we all are back in the office.

No.

It’s exhausting, and I’m not good at it.

And when I say “I’m not good as it” I don’t mean below-average. If anything, I’m an above-average driver, but the average is abysmal and most people on the road should frankly not have licenses.

I love some aspects of driving… I love my car and how nice it looks when it’s clean and shiny. I love feeling the acceleration and driving through twisty roads. I love being outside and feeling the sun, while seeing all the varying sights across the city. I love the freedom of going anywhere, and effortlessly carrying passengers and cargo with me.

I don’t like traffic or contributing to traffic. I HATE that we feel the need to pave over our shrinking green space for new highways. I hate the salt and pollution that comes with so many roads and cars.

Hate driving, been doing it 30 years now, sucked the whole time. There’s nothing like a thorough train/subway system.

Depends on why I’m driving. A regluar rush-hour commute isn’t enjoyable but almost all other driving is. Last year I drove from the UK to San Marino and back - with stops on the way. By the end of the trip I was happy to get home, but I still wanted to do the driving.

Yes, mostly. Depends on the car and the road.

Old car, Ford Falcon AU, didn’t really like driving. It’s a shit car, just unbreakable so it was a good purchase.

New car, Nissan Skyline GT 370, love driving. The economy is shit and it needs premium for a fun $2/L, but it’s just nice to be in. Stuck in traffic? Comfortable, good audio, good air con. Open country roads? Plenty of power, handles great.

So if car is fun, I like driving, if car is not fun, don’t like driving.

I like to drive but I hate traffic. Not only traffic jams but also just normal traffic. I live in a densely populatd country, so I prefer the train. But I absolutely loved driving in rural Chile or Scandinavia.

I mostly dislike it because traffic and idiots in cars. It can be fun, but usually it’s just frustrating.

I like driving and I drive for fun. However, I work from home. Before covid, I certainly didn’t like driving during rush hour, that was too stressful.

Love it. Anything, any road, doesn’t matter. I am driving, and driving is me.

Kind of. The act of driving itself is not pleasurable from me on it’s own, but I mentally connect it with road trips which I love.
And this is the only situation in which I drive. If I had to use a car every day, I’d despise driving completely.

I love driving. I love my cars. Plus my commute to/from work has very little traffic and it’s probably the highlight of my day. And that’s what I love my job too.
