" My first car was a limousine"Remember this line from Pretty woman? well that's my feeling about cars and driving. I never learned how to drive because as a ten I Knew I couldn't handle it. Now that I am so much bolder and Older, I still won't drive. Why? I don't have the temperament for it.Bad drivers and my hot temper aren't a safe mix. luckily I have good bus routes and my sister drives so if there is a place I can't get to by subway or car , she can take me.

Some of the roads where i am were soo bad that there were alot of good safe drivers that never went out driving.I prefer someone else to drive me as that way i can be more relaxed rather than be in a panic which will then cause an accident anyway.This time of the year i like to be at home rather than out and about as it is soo cold as well as you never know what the roads are going to be like.

Here the roads could be better but the drivers are real bad. I prefer not to drive. It is less stressful.

I don't drive as I do not have a car. So if I go somewhere far, I have to take a bus or train for my trip. Usually if I go to the downtown for shopping, I ride my bike and sometimes I just take a walk there.

I don;t like to drive if I am unfamiliar with the area. But some of the people with whom I have ridden drive me crazy the way they drive. I would feel more comfortable driving myself and not worrying about how others drive.

I don't know how to drive and I don't have a plan of learning because i have no car of my own. When I have in the future of course I have no choice but to drive all by myself. If someone will drive for me that saves my effort and energy, i will just get in the car sit there and wait till we arrived in the place I am going. I like someone else to drive me. I think when I drive by myself I will just focus on my driving and forget about to focus on the place I will be going.

If I am going someone away from home then I would rather be driven because I get panicky in heavy traffic or areas I am not familiar with. I also don't mind driving short distances but not long ones. I like driving for the most part and it gives a chance to listen to the radio and some good rock and roll.

It really depends on the situation. I like it when my husband is the one driving me, but other than that, I'd rather drive myself. I have to travel to a city about 70 miles away once a month for my job, and a bunch of the girls carpool to go. I've done that once and it was enough for me. I wasn't very comfortable with the lady who was driving. From that trip on I decided that when I was going to go that I would be driving myself.

My husband and I are both almost blind, so we have no choice but to have someone else drive us to where we want to go. I have been this way all of my life, but he is just losing his eyesight. It was quite an adjustment to him not to be able to drive anymore, but in the long run he understood how much safer he'd be if he stopped driving.

That is a shame.There are now soo many people on the roads now adays and alot of the people driving are crazy.I prefer to relax and not drive as that way i am never stressed out by the time i have reached the destination.I hate it when i do not know the roads as well as you never know where there are shap bends as well as other things on the road that you are traveling.

I drive a great deal every day. So it os nice when someone would drive me. When my ex and I were together, he always did the driving when we were going on holidays or on outings.
I have to drive my daughter top school every day and return, which is one hour. Then I drive her to swimming training most days, which can vary from 30 mins to 50 minutes return.
So I get sick of driving sometimes.
My daughter has her Lerarners and I cant wait for her to get her P plates.

I do not like to drive because I self-admit that I am a poor driver.
hence I'd much rather be driven around. I tend to drive very slowly and I tend to be not confident at filtering so I'd much rather someone who is good at driving specialise at that and do the job. I'd do what I'm good at, which is housework.
I believe that there should be specialisation in duties. :)

I am a bit like you if the road is a road that i have not been on before as i tend to drive slower on it as i never know where all the bends and kinks in the road are.I also hate sat navs so that is another reason i prefer someone else to drive.If someone else drives then it is great as then i can relax as well as look at all the places we pass as that is hard if you are the driver.

i drive. and if anyone will offer to drive for me, i will let him to it. it will be fine for me to be a passenger, let someone drive for me, if it is a sedan, a car. but if we will talk about motorcycle, i will not let anybody drive for me. i feel safer if i drive my motorcycle.

I would rather drive myself when I know how to get where I am going. Now if I am going out of town and do not know how to get there I would rather have company with me and to have them do the driving there. Once I know how to get there than I might voluntary to drive back home.

I prefer to drive myself because beside giving a different taste also made me know the areas that previously I don't know. If we ask someone else to driving, we usually don't notice the street remain impassable. So we don't know the area if one day we have to drive myself.

Even with a sat nav i still prefer someone else to drive me as i am a person that do not like driving much anyway.I prefer to know the roads that i am driving on as that way i am more relaxed if i know the route.I also hate it if there is a car right close behind me on a road that i do not know very well.

Now-a-days the traffic is mad and people are not caring for traffic rules. I am a person who gets panicked and loose presence of mind. Hence I prefer to be driven by somebody than driving myself and jeopardise everyone's life.

I'm pretty much the same as you. If I haven't driven to a place before I'd rather have my husband be the driver, otherwise I'd rather drive there myself. I prefer to be the driver for the most part. When I'm the passenger I tend to be a back seat driver, even when I try not to be. LOL
Happy mylotting!

I only got my license when I turned 50 years old and I'm now 53 but I hate driving. Its just to nerve wracking for me. I know I would be different if I had learned to drive at an earlier age, but it is what it is. I rather be driven around then drive all because my nerves take over and I just get so nervous driving that I don't need to be on the road at all.

I like driving myself most of the time . but when I am traveling with my spouse or cousins , I likes them to drive as it gives me comfort and chance to enjoy the ride without the hassles of traffic and fatigue. you can mostly enjoy the ride in a car if you are sitting at the back and listening to light music.
