    I love riding my motorcycle. I only drive a car on Saturday to get groceries. Beyond that, i daily a bike. I have two for different purposes. For sure, i love my harley. I have to commute about 30mins to work, so i get a bit of time everday. Just enjoy the feeling of being on 2 wheels. Even in the rain, or 110+ heat.

    I only learnt to drive a few years ago. I love it. Where I live now, the bus service is ok but it definitely is worth having a car (remote island). I used to be very anti- cars. No driving was one less car on the planet. I had to learn though. The only other person in my family who drives can no longer.

    Was an anxiety trigger. When I removed it from life other areas improved. Understand some do not have the luxury and am appreciative.

    Hated it from the very first moment. Tried everything to make it work.

    I love some aspects of driving… I love my car and how nice it looks when it’s clean and shiny. I love feeling the acceleration and driving through twisty roads. I love being outside and feeling the sun, while seeing all the varying sights across the city. I love the freedom of going anywhere, and effortlessly carrying passengers and cargo with me.

    I don’t like traffic or contributing to traffic. I HATE that we feel the need to pave over our shrinking green space for new highways. I hate the salt and pollution that comes with so many roads and cars.

    Hate driving, been doing it 30 years now, sucked the whole time. There’s nothing like a thorough train/subway system.

    Depends on why I’m driving. A regluar rush-hour commute isn’t enjoyable but almost all other driving is. Last year I drove from the UK to San Marino and back - with stops on the way. By the end of the trip I was happy to get home, but I still wanted to do the driving.

    I like driving and I drive for fun. However, I work from home. Before covid, I certainly didn’t like driving during rush hour, that was too stressful.

    As in operating a car? Yes, it’s fun. When I have new tires I got on the toll road and go real fast around the smooth curves!

    As in driving to get places, like work or the grocery, in traffic? No. I take the bike or walk.

    So, I like to drive but don’t like needing to drive.

    Not really but public transportation usually sucks so I’m doing most things by car nowadays. I’m probably getting old but the idea of driving at lethal speeds through crowded spaces actually terrifies me. I’ve never been in any serious accident but to think that I’m sitting in some death machine is unnerving.

    No. It’s exhausting.

    If driving isn’t exhausting for you, you’re not paying enough attention.

    No. I’m good at it. I’ve got truck and motorcycle licences too. I prefer walking or bicycling, there aren’t great options for those in my suburb.

    No; I’m a shitty driver and other drivers that are problem drivers combined with my shit driving scare me.

    I think I picked it up from my parents (who are both terrible drivers also). I’m sorry everyone! I’m working on it. Really I am!
