Some love it, some hate it.

No. It’s exhausting.
If driving isn’t exhausting for you, you’re not paying enough attention.
I dislike it, I drive out of nessecity but I’ve never really enjoyed it like most people I know seem to. I get stressed out in heavy traffic so I prefer rural areas
I like cruising. There’s nothing like a state highway in the US that’s popular enough to be well maintained, but not so popular that it’s crowded and in the suburbs. They whisk you past some amazing sights and pieces of Americana that are quickly fading.
As for commuting, anything more than 20 minutes one way is either hell or a trip needing some level of planning between walking to the fridge and sending man to the moon.
You see some great things cruising. What’s some of your favourite things that you’ve seen?
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.
It sounds backwards, but I like driving because it’s a time when I can’t scroll or play games. I drive to the next town over (about an hour’s drive) 2 or 3 times most weeks. It’s a good chance for me to listen to something, or just ponder. I’ve been listening to the Bible over that drive more often lately.
No.
It’s exhausting, and I’m not good at it.
And when I say “I’m not good as it” I don’t mean below-average. If anything, I’m an above-average driver, but the average is abysmal and most people on the road should frankly not have licenses.
I get that. Are you neurodiverse? It can be linked to some conditions like dyspraxia
I’m in the process of being evaluated for ADHD, but I definitely don’t have dyspraxia; I’m a dancer and waitress.
Well done for getting the adhd evaluation they can be hard to get. I have dyspraxia so I’m v jealous of your ability to dance.
I should probably try again to get an ADHD diagnosis. Last time I tried I got a phone call maybe a month later from the clinic saying that the evaluation board or whatever had given no diagnosis, not a “you don’t have it” diagnosis just declined to give a result. So anyway I really didn’t feel like following up at the time.
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!
It’s fine I understand haha. Are you neurodiverse? It can be linked
Yeah, I have ADHD. It is both my crime and punishment lol.
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 would love it but people are assholes all the time
I’ve never had a driver’s license and I never will. Expensive, polluting and boring.
Boring? How do you know if you don’t have a license
Believe it or not, I have been in a car many times in my life :)
I mostly dislike it because traffic and idiots in cars. It can be fun, but usually it’s just frustrating.
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.
Wow how long have you been biking!
Rode most of my life. Was out of motorcycling for a few decades, but since moving to the SW I am riding all the time. Been here for 4-5 years now.
Nice one! What got you into it?
I like the minimalist aspect of a motorcycle. The bare minimum to travel. A seat, attached to a motor, attached to a pair of wheels.
Yes, mostly. Depends on the car and the road.
Old car, Ford Falcon AU, didn’t really like driving. It’s a shit car, just unbreakable so it was a good purchase.
New car, Nissan Skyline GTR 370, love driving. The economy is shit and it needs premium for a fun $2/L, but it’s just nice to be in. Stuck in traffic? Comfortable, good audio, good air con. Open country roads? Plenty of power, handles great.
So if car is fun, I like driving, if car is not fun, don’t like 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.
I like to drive but I hate traffic. Not only traffic jams but also just normal traffic. I live in a densely populatd country, so I prefer the train. But I absolutely loved driving in rural Chile or Scandinavia.
