Current Events > Do you like driving?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's alright, but frankly I prefer not to drive.

I can't stand driving

I enjoy driving, but I dont enjoy traffic

I hate it

Yes, as long as it's not downtown.

No. Traffic sucks and people don't know the rules of the road.

The parking lot of this shopping center I go to feels like driving on a busy unmarked street in China. MFs are cutting across parking spaces, ignoring stop signs, pulling out in front of you, etc.

Yeah, especially in summer

Not very much. Im a good driver, but other drivers ruin the experience. I have come centimeters from certain death (multiple times) 100% because of someone elses mistake.

Vehicles are too big, too heavy, and they accelerate too fast. Driving didnt used to be so butt-puckering before the average vehicle was like 7,000 pounds. I honestly think you should lose your license for life if you ever use a heavy vehicle to try to intimidate another driver.

It should be easier to lose your license than to get one, but we live in a country that is dominated by the oil industry, so we have to share the road with things that can barely even fit on the street

no

i do like having the ability to drive though. just hate dealing with traffic and having to take the time to commute and stuff.

I've never driven a car before except for a field car once.

I've rode dirtbikes a bit and I know how to drive a forklift though.

My forklift experience was working in a quarry where there was a lot of open space, so I got to rip around pretty good and it was pretty fun.

Depends on the conditions and the traffic

I only drive out of necessity. Going to work, going to grocery store or running some type of errand. I don't just drive for joy. I live in a sparsely populated area in farm country so there is very little traffic all the time which is nice.

Thankfully I rarely have to drive anything more than relatively short trips. Most of my driving is 10 miles here, 5 miles there type trips. I don't like driving long distances as I find it boring. Driving was more enjoyable when I was 16, but I'm 47 now and the luster has worn off.

I like driving in the rain and snow

Driving in and of itself is awesome. Dealing with the other complete fucking idiots on the road is one of the worst fucking experiences ever.

I do. Drove from the coast of NC to San Diego and back earlier this year.

I despise driving

i love it.

Its pretty chill when fall and winter hits since I live in a rural south carolina town. Weather is feeling good and after about 6pm eastern time the streets and roads are damn near ghost towns, so that is the time to go to whatever 9pm or midnight video game release gamestop actually does (I went to the spider-man 2 and mario wonder one), swing by a 24/7 krispy kreme for some of them hot light glazed donuts n' some coffee, and just vibe playing video game/anime soundtracks without some random dude looking at me funny for blasting it on the way back home.

I like driving when there's not much traffic. Driving in bumper to bumper traffic is the worst.

No, I'm entirely too paranoid. Justifiably, but it doesn't feel good.

No

Love love love it. I drive the entire way on roadtrips other people can take naps or do whatever I dont care.

Being behind the wheel is like having an extra dick

I love driving.

Country roads are an escape

Mostly no. Sometimes if there's no traffic it can be relaxing though

Depends.
I absolutely hate driving in the city.
Unless I need to transport something or the weather is really bad, I barely drive in city.

Driving on open roads is great.

Not in heavy traffic, obviously.

But I have a nice comfortable car, and open roads with good music can be a pleasure.

When traffic isn't infuriating I do especially during the early-mid afternoon for some reason. It's also great super early when there's barely anyone out on the roads.

in games yes, always, even when at a great disadvantage of walking I'm taking the car up the stairs, into the building, as far as I can possibly go, I'll spend an hour or so trying to glitch through a wall if I have to, I'm NOT walking

irl hell no, someone else is driving or I'm walking/taking the bus

Yes. Im currently near the end of a four week road trip across Australia. Im heading home and today I drove about 925km

Not really, no.

Other people suck too much for it to be enjoyable.

My job is driving.
I just upgraded from a 3mile commute to a 30mile commute.

It's fine in dry weather, but if it takes me hours to get home in the winter, I may not make it into work

Yes.

I'm lucky to live on a county road now though. Not NWHwy Dallas,or 75 Phoenix...

Yeah.

Few things I enjoy more.

not really
driving is something to get from point A to point B, nothing more, nothing less

i absolutely hate driving in the dark

I like having the ability to drive, but hate the distances I need to travel to get to places, and just how many awful drivers there are on the road, not using turn signals, following too close, going 60 in a 45 or 40 in a 65, etc.

My biggest complaint about my job.I start work at 6am so I'm getting there in the dark. Every single asshole now has the bright blue LED headlights that blind you,I usually let them pass.

I've always like it better because I just hate sunlight.

Traveling is also better at night because most truckers are sleeping.

Not really, it's overrated.

Only done it once.

"Never again."

No. I hate driving and pretty much everything involving cars from purchasing them, to maintaining them, to selling them. Unfortunately it is kind of an unavoidable necessity.

Not in the city buy otherwise I really enjoy just hitting the road, picking a vague destination, and seeing what I see. Especially on US highways and two land roads in flyover country

Ive never enjoyed it and have always avoided it where I can.

Its absolutely mental where l live now, but its also dirt cheap to pay somebody else to drive you.

I hate driving. It really stresses me out.

If I ever win the lottery, the first thing I am doing is hiring someone to drive me around so I never have to worry about it again.

I like it, its a nice break from whatever is going on. I dont even mind traffic much.

The only thing I dont like is surface streets in a city of a couple million+ that Im unfamiliar with. Half the time laid out like a clusterfuck so you have to know which lane to be in half a mile before you get there w/no signage.

Most of the stuff people in here are complaining about goes away if you stay in the 75th percentile for speed. i.e. be going faster than 75% of traffic, you get a lot less of those moments that seem to terrify people. In other words, you are in control of where you go instead of other peoples driving happening to you.
