Not yet but I plan on getting a driver's license. I'm terribly scared of driving though. It just seems too dangerous but a part of me wants to drive, and I know it's a valuable skill.

I drive, but if I drive for over 2 hours I start to feel jittery.

I can drive around town ok. I don't do so well in new places or cities, even with gps. Last time I drove in a city I ended up on the wrong side of the river and couldn't figure out how to get across :oops: .

Not yet. Two years ago it was considered unsafe for me because of easy sensory overload.

I can drive but don't have a car and haven't driven for a number of years.

I can drive but I haven't a car at the moment, I am not a very good driver I don't really enjoy it. If I haven't driven in a few months I like driving a bit, but I hate traffic jams and urban centres and I couldn't drive to work every day. I had to do it for six months a few years ago and I only managed it because it was for a limited, fixed time.

Driving is my freedom. I drive around 30.000km a year. Cars have to be functional though. if I can't fit the kitchen sink in it I will consider it useless. I am dangerous in fast cars because I don't want to stick to speed limits ALL the time
I listened to 4 years of how our Berlingo was a van and too slow. Now we have a Renault Modus and I get an average of 1 speeding ticket a month.
Needless to say the next car will be a Berlingo again :roll:
