If you lack common sense (and as a pedestrian, I see this countless of times a day), you should not be in the drivers seat. Period. Everyone THINKS they're a good driver but honestly, I have a hard time believing everyone on this board is such.I actually live in the outskirts of NYC now so I see both sides of this. I live in a city where it's a 10 min walk to everything. However, there are plenty of times when I think it'll be great to go on a local-ish trip but when it comes down to it, there is NOTHING I can't do that I haven't done already even though I don't drive. And to add to that, the idea of maintaining a car, worrying about parking (which is horrendous in NYC and the small city I live), gas prices, crazy other drivers, car payments etc. the idea of owning a car seems more trouble than it's worth.If I ended up moving to a place where I would have to drive, I'd suck it up and do it but honestly, it's not a necessity at this point in my life. As for emergencies, that's what '911' is for. And delivery service is a great thing.
