Fear, lol. I know that's not a good reason. I'm just...panicky by nature and I don't think I'd be very cool-headed behind the wheel. Also I'm TERRIFIED to drive in the city.

Driving is scary! I got my license in December of 2005, when I was 20. I still don't like to drive, and it's not even that I'm bad at it or anything. It just makes me nervous.

My roommate is a nervous driver...there's a reason I usually drive when we're going somewhere

I love driving.

I saw those Em, they are great, much better than the ones I probably got, but I will be posting when I get them. If it makes you feel better, I've never driven on the highway, I'm afraid of getting lost.

Yeah, driving does seem scary. I think I'm going to try to get my license this summer, just to HAVE it and to know how to drive in case of an emergency but I highly doubt I'll ever be purchasing my own car. I just don't want to deal with it.

You live in the city right? Then you probably don't need to, where I live you can't get anywhere without a car.

I'll be 20 in a couple of months and I haven't been behind the wheel since I failed my road test nearly 3 years ago. I know I should try to learn again, but living in NYC gives me an easy excuse not to. My grandmother was nearly 65 when she finally learned how to drive - she never saw a need for it until Grandpa died.

I'm scared to drive in the city myself. If you can find a way to take lessons somewhere out in the distant 'burbs, you'll probably feel better about it.

I drove in the city once, but it was just straight North/South, nothing complicated at all, so it was fun. Anything harder and I would've been scared.

[downtowndiva84]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:38pm

Yeah, I admit, living in the city my whole life has spoiled me.

Although here at school it's impossibe to get around without a car, which is probably why I'm something of a hermit here.

Anyway, it's sleepy time for me. Hoping to feel like a human being again sometime soon. *crosses fingers* G'nite all!

I have my permit but have never even sat in the drivers seat. It's a pain in the ass to learn how to drive in the city.

[Billboard Girl]

In the back of my mind, I have "getting my driver's license" on the List Of Things To Accomplish Before Turning 21, but I don't know if that will actually happen.

Night! Yeah, this summer I need to learn highway driving. *IwillnotdrivelikemymotherIwillnotdrivelikemymother*

Well, I guess if you don't need it, the incentive is very small...

I've only driven on a highway a handful of times, but that's because I don't like it and I can get away without it at home.

I love driving. I especially love driving on highways. No speed limit should be under 60 as far as I'm concerned.

And back home, I live, like, on the Beltway, so while it's not necessary to use, it's much easier to.

I'm at the U of Chicago. It's scary.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:47pm

Scary not good?

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:48pm

Aww, Elphie.

Are you doing an overnight or in a hotel?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:48pm

No, it's good. But scary. Overwhelming is probably a better word. Also, I'm not one of those people who is good at just going up to people and starting conversations, so it's stressful.

ETA: Fantab, overnight.

I love driving

Well, I love it from the 3 times I've done it.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:53pm

Me too, Elphie.

Is the person you're staying with nice?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:54pm

Yeah, she's nice.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/10/06 at 11:54pm

aw, that's understandable. Well, either way, I hope it helps you to make your decision!
