I live in a city with great public transportation and never felt the need to get a license. Saves a ton of money and then my work commute isn't bad because I'm playing on my phone

Yeah, I used to have nightmares about not being able to control my car until I got used to driving. Still don't really like to drive, but I can do it fine.

Yup. Driving is great since you can go places whenever you want (way better than waiting for public transportation). However, the act of driving is rather boring.

I don't blame them.
-car insurance
-folliwing rules of the road
-dealing with aggressive drivers/self driving habits
-routinely maintaining your vehicle

All of which can go very wrong really quick if you overlook one of those

I do too, I just hate that everyone else does too. Traffic is awful and people constantly prove themselves as either stupid, selfish or some combination of both.

This. I'm so glad I barely drive anymore, and mostly just short distances
I'll never commute to work again for the rest of my life (or travel any 5+ hour distance by car again)

I love driving. I find it less stressful than most anything, really.

Honesty, the thought of not being able to get up and go where I want, when I want, is infinitely more stressful than the act of driving.

As someone who works in a high school, I have been pretty surprised by how many students are uninterested in driving. Of course, this is purely anecdotal. It kinda makes sense though; with how much of their socializing takes place over Discord and social media, there's much less incentive for them to wanna drive out to meet each other than there was for previous generations.

For those in the US, I'm guessing this has more to do with their inability to afford it (car payments, maintenance, insurance, etc.) than unwillingness. Also helps that remote work has become more common in recent.

Maybe the Prius could, IDK. The farthest I ever drove was to Disneyland, and my girlfriend and I made stops along the way.

Well, at 12 hours, 'straight' can be a bit of a misnomer.

You do stop for gas and if you're smart, you'll at least stretch your legs, get snacks, drinks, etc.

Driving is okay when you're not around idiots not paying attention to intersections, morons blocking your view, and dickheads trying to "win" or whatever the fuck those knuckledraggers are doing aggressively speeding and tailgating people.

I'm guessing that will vary by region/city. Public transportation in LA sucks. It takes 2-3 times as long as driving yourself. And using uber/lyft to get everywhere is expensive. Kind of have to drive if you want to get around in a reasonable amount of time.

Also kind of depends on the city. Vancouver and Phoenix aren't too bad.
