I don't really understand why someone wouldn't want to drive. I feel most comfortable when I'm driving, and couldn't stand having to ask someone for a ride when I had to go somewhere. Sometimes it's nice to just get out of the house, turn the radio on and drive and relax.


When I was 8 I was in a car accident with my mother. We were traveling back to FL from NC from visiting some family. We were in Atlanta GA. At the time it was a 6 lane interstate (it's probably grown by now) and it was completely the asshole in front of us fault. However, ever since then anytime I am in a car with someone else driving I am nervous. Even today when my husband and I go somewhere, I drive. He has a clean record and has never wrecked, but I just do not feel comfortable with my life in someone elses hands. I know I could get killed by some bad driver if I'm driving, but at least I feel more in control of the situation. It's totally a mental thing with me.
