I don't drive needlessly. I use the buses for most of my trips into town about two miles away: in good weather often the bus to town but walk home.

Our bus services on their main routes are usually fairly good and I can reach the next town (ten miles) quite easily by bus.

I can also travel by train from town to many other parts of the country; and without the inconvenience of via London. (That would entail crossing London from one main-line terminus to another. The Underground system is fine for that and easy to find your way on; but it's been so long since I last used it, I do not know how you pay your fare these days. I have the impression it is no longer a matter of simply asking at a ticket-office or buying from a ticket-machine; but it's going that way on Network Rail too.)

Othwerwise, most of my "social, domestic & leisure" journeys would be impractical, even impossible, without my car.

It is undeniably expensive though, with petrol around £1.40 / litre at the moment, high tax and insurance, and sometimes-expensive servicing costs. And it's only a modest Renault not a Range-Rover, nor one of those bloated builder's pick-ups or two-tonne vans that seem to have become fashionable commuter-chariots!

Public transit is a disease spreader and people get stabbed all the time using it.
If you own a car, and it is insured, the gas doesn't cost all that much, and even cheaper if its an EV.
I used to live in a small town where we didn't need a car for anything, we just walked everywhere. Much more healthy, but in large cities, really need a way to get around.
Can you sell your car and get an e-bike or e-scooter?

I stopped driving when my panic attacks started and became severe.

Cars are expensive and the extra money is good to have.

I ceased to drive when I realised that my eyes were not good enough.
After cataract operations I can see very clearly now, but I am not keen on applying for a licence and being tested.
And I am accustomed to not driving now.

Compliments of a newly acquired blind spot in my left eye, I’m not driving at the moment. It’s on my list of repairs.

I stopped driving after my car bit the dust decades ago. I live in a city that has pretty good public transportation, everything is pretty close and I have quite a few cabbie friends. So it’s been okay.

Health condition means driving is a non starter for me. It does mean a lot more planning to go to places though.

I sold my car last year.

I drive.. just not often.. i like being home

You drive, you just don’t drive anymore. Plenty of people give it up.

I have one, but i am drunk all the time and do not want to kill anyone, especially if they have children. Some have children in their cars.

it is very costly to keep a car, particularly if you do not use it. then if you use it you have to pay for gas.

Mine overheats after 5 minutes so I only drive to nearby places.

If you can't afford to drive it, then by all means sell it. Stop paying for insurance after you do. Invest the money in the market.

Some c#nt stole it and I haven't reported it or got another one since they are too expensive.

Yeah I drive. It beats the hell outta walking.

Do you have insurance on it?

Then why’d you buy a car for
