Does anyone not drive?

Seen lots of driving posts or car posts so another one to add to the mix. Does anyone here not drive? I’m sure this will be a short thread I’m 40 and still can’t drive. A combination of reasons. I haven’t really been able to afford to continue learning until now and when I did have a few lessons way back in my 20’s, I really struggled with it, and was a nervous learner. If I decide to take it up again I think I’m definitely going down the auto route.

I don't driv but I did take lessons when I was 17. Think I've just not done it as it's the expense of it. I've got around quite happily by bus my whole life x

Same with me, though I started at 40 but due to a few reason I stopped. I think my problem was when he said you are nearly ready for your test it spooked me

Yes I’ve had no problems travelling, train or coach has been fine. I can’t just go at the drop of a hat but always managed to go where I want to. And locally it’s bus or Uber and I work within walking distance and do my food shopping online so not really an issue. It would be nice to learn though I think. Just need to kick myself up the butt and try again.

I didn’t get as far as my test. I bet it’s so nerve racking. Do you think you’ll go for it again?

I'm the same with shopping, I order online and only buy bits and pieces in the shops when I need to. If I get a job with more money then I may consider taking driving lessons one day x

We're both 38 and neither of us has ever had a driving lesson.

We cycle as a family. We use buses, trains and occasionally taxis. Travel does have to be well planned, but it's not onerous. Some places are difficult to get to, but we manage.

I credit our non driving as the main reason we've always had enough money despite not having amazing jobs, and were able to pay off the mortgage after 8 1/2 years.

It's not for everyone, but it suits us

Nope. I'm almost 30 and my partner is 34 but we never have been able to as our financial situation has never allowed us to do so. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for next year.

I absolutely loathe public transport.

Wow that’s amazing regards the mortgage. Not something I’ll ever be able to afford unfortunately as a single income now house prices are too expensive for me. I’m sure not driving definitely saves a lot of money though. And now you’re mortgage free you may be able to afford to learn now but as you’ve said you’ve managed not driving so far.

I have passed my test but do not currently drive. So technically I don't drive.

At the moment I'm without a car as a lot of the cars I look at that are decent are older than the one I had to get rid of..... W.T?

I think at the moment it's not a buyers market. Like most things here.

Supermarkets are close to walk. If I need things that are heavy then it's a taxi. It's quite cheap.

A car just has convenience for me.

I honestly don't know how people cope not being able to drive. I would be distraught if I had to stop driving. I would be a hermit where I live.

I do have a car and I can drive and driven since I was 17… but I so don’t fancy driving any more - especially in London… I’ve always preferred walking… in London so use the tube and took up cycling… trouble is… I’m lumbered with a car till next September and i pay 400 a month (but of a waste that)

I gave up driving almost 12 months ago as just did not need a car for where I live.

Do not miss it, especially with the roads as they are and the traffic.

Also save money, no vehicle tax, insurance, fuel, or repair costs.
