I was 31. I couldnt afford when I was first old enough to drive. Then I lived in cities with good public transport and didn't need a car. It was only the imminent arrival of child number 2 that finally made made me give in and learn.

I was 30, I needed to learn to drive as I was moving nearer to the city, I lived in a small town in the countryside before and I’d cycle a lot.

@Achelois I used to walk and cycle everywhere when I was young. We didn't have a car till I was 15 and very poor bus service.

@Lugwho

Yeah I would walk a lot too, I didn’t enjoy food shopping lol

@Achelois No. I remember doing the big shop for Christmas once on the bus. I think we had 7 or 8 bags each. A couple of pounds for a taxi just seemed too much 😅
