That’s right, I don’t drive

Yes, it’s true. I do not drive. I have never driven. I don’t know how (though I’m sure I could probably figure it out).

And people are always asking me, “Why don’t you drive?”

Answer: “I don’t know.”

I really don’t. I’ve just never had the urge to drive a car. And I certainly have never had the urge to pay for one, or for gas, or for insurance and so on.

Yes, there are a number of disadvantages to not driving. But, on the other hand, there are also advantages – not the least of which is the money.

So how do I get around? Well, it’s not quite the tragedy you might imagine. I walk. I take the bus. I take cabs. It’s really not that difficult. With my iPod on, it’s actually quite pleasant.

My preference is for walking.

Life outside of a car is also quite entertaining. It gives you the opportunity to people watch, which tends to be better than most TV.

Anyway ... to repeat, I don't drive and I never have. And I rather like it that way.
