    "Some people who DO (drive) shouldn't be on the road..."

    That's because most drivers are sociopaths. They care more about their bloody cars than they care about their follow human beings.

    Hi, bella! Don't feel bad! I don't drive, either, and I'm happy! I'm perfectly happy with riding my old mountain bike, catching the bus, walking...or else...JUST STAYING PUT. ;-)

    I'm really happy to find this website. I've had people tell me that it's time I learn to drive. I am in my 50s. My grandmother who was a very intelligent woman never drove. I have adult ADD and I'm easily distracted so I don't feel I would be a safe driver. My mother quit driving at the age of 79 because she didn't think she was a safe driver. I didn't either and I was grateful that she made that decision herself.

      I too have adult ADD and high anxiety. I failed the driving test twice. The area I live in has very poor public transportation and is not pedestrian friendly so I'm planning on taking lessons and doing the test again soon so I can get around here.

    Hello Everybody
    I am a 53 year old male and I do not drive.
    I grew up in the city with the biggest mass transit system and more taxicabs in the US - NYC. I have relied on the NYC transit system. to take me from point A to point B all my life (except when I'm a passenger in someone's car). When I travel out of state I usually take a plane or bus.
    When people learn that I do not drive the response is usually, "What you can't drive? You gott' be kiddin' me!"
    I did have a driver's permit twice in my life, as a matter of fact I have one now.
    Admittedly there have been times when it has been a major inconvience; esp. now that I live in NC - a rural state with miles and miles of highways. But thank God they do have a public transportation system.
    Honestly after leaving NYC I am beginning to realize the neccesity of knowing how to drive and I am becoming more and more receptive to the idea of finally learning to drive.
