    I don't have my license, but I've been practice a lot lately, driving whenever I can. I'm going to try to get my license soon. I guess that means I drive occasionally.

    Yes, but I take the subway to work, so I don't drive that much. My wife and I share a car, and she drives it most of the time. I, however, get the wheel on long road trips - both of our sets of parents are 8-10 hours away. I love long drives like that, because I get to put on long concept albums or video game OSTs that I'd never otherwise be able to sit down and enjoy in one listen!

    I can drive but I hate driving so I avoid it whenever possible. Unfortunately we live in the middle of the woods and it would take me literally hours to walk anywhere except a gas station, so I usually just don't go out until sharky gets home. The only time I'll drive myself is if I have an appointment, like I will for my help line volunteering coming up.

    Yes. Have been since I was 14 (yay farm license).


    I still hate driving in cities.

    Driven far too much now though so I kinda hate it.

    I rarely drive. Don't have my own car, also, don't need to very often. The times I need to go far away, other modes of transportation are cheaper, although they sometimes are slower. However, I can play 3DS or PSP while riding trains or buses, so in practice, I'm not actually wasting any time . The main downside is to be locked to schedules that aren't always optimal for me.

    Na. I live 10 minutes walking distance from the office, and car stuff is expensive. It would cost me around £2000 to learn to drive, own and insure a car. Not including petrol money or any maintenance.
    Even if I did work a distance away, we have an excellent public transport service in my area.

    I like to save my money for travelling anyway. Maybe one day I'll learn.

    Yes and yes, because my work shift starts before the bus schedule does (shame cause it's free so I'd save a ton), and because I do not know how to ride a bike.

    I drive every day. I love driving. I love everything about driving... except that there are too many people on the roads that somehow have a licence but can't drive for trout.

    I learned to drive recently. It was never a necessity for me back when I lived in the city. We moved to Shauna's house which is pretty far from transport links like trains. They cancelled the bus that drove past our house so it was a mile walk daily to and from the alternate bus route. That walk took it out of me each morning, Daily commute was about 1:15 each to and from work and I was still often late for work.

    Now I just drive to work. Record time for getting back is 20 minutes. It's a bit more expensive, but far better than taking the bus,

    I didn't know I had to renew my license when I turned 21, but I still drive anyway.
