I drive what about you? I know some people maybe dont because they cant afford a car. Are you afraid of freeways and bad snowy roads like me? I need to try driving on the freeway again to get over this fear. Sometimes I like to just go out and take a drive and listen to music. I dont have anywhere to go but I just go out and drive. It’s the closest I can get to happy. Its seem therapeutic to me.

My concentration is too poor to drive. I’d just get into an accident. So I don’t drive.

I like driving too, cheers me up. Need to get a more fuel efficient car. Stationwagons are pretty rad…but not very cheap to drive.

I can’t drive anymore at all. And I was never any good at it.

I drive with a radio on my head!
I only drive on weekends but when I do they usually mess a lot with the things I might do when I arrive at my friends place.
It’s hard sometimes to contain all that excitement while driving by the road rules, but I do my best to not have any accident

I don’t like to drive, im a nervous wreck driving. I wont drive in the city at all, just here in town.
also it makes me paranoid i’ll be pulled over by a police officer and have to deal with the police where I wouldn’t have to if I didn’t drive. I always go the speed limit. I only drive to the store here in town, and will drive if I get a job in town, but that’s it. otherwise im a passenger with my mom or dad or caseworker.

I drive. I used to be good at driving in snow and ice. Now I won’t do it because Michigan’s car insurance rates are the highest in the nation. If I get a ticket I won’t be able to pay for the insurance anymore

I drive way too much. Like 2000 miles/month.
Freeways don’t scare me, but snowy/slushy roads scare the crap out of me.
I used to be good at driving in snow, like when I lived in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, got very good at it.
I have a little car; it gets killer gas economy, but is terrible in snow.

I drive almost every day. But I have to get a certificate each year from a doc and send to the transportation control. Otherwise my licens gets suspended.

Maybe go early in the morning and practice when there’s few other cars on the road.
I’ve been driving steadily since 1997 and I’ve had 4 or 5 cars. I’ve had a few accidents but only one was my fault and no one was hurt.
I live in California in the South Bay Area. The traffic is terrible here on freeways and city street’s. I lived in a board & care home a couple of years ago and used to drive through heavy traffic for an hour to get to work and than about an hour back.
The home was downtown in a large city and driving around the area was difficult and stressful but it sure beat the bus (I took the bus for years).
I moved away into the nice place I am at now and there’s far less traffic and I’m closer to work, it only takes about 20-25 minutes to get to work. I take drives too sometimes.

Yeah I wouldn’t like driving in parts of CA too much traffic. Last winter me and my ex were in San Fran and traveling the freeways. It wasn’t even rush hour and it was stop and go traffic the whole time on the freeway.

Was this a school bus or city bus?
School bus. I have driven them through cities in rush hour without incident. I also occasionally drive a charter coach for some extra $$$ (take seniors on casino runs).

Is it hard to make turns while driving a school bus or is it just like a car?
I don’t drive. My case managers used to drive me to appointments, or other places, then that privilege got taken away from me… Jerks. My boyfriend drives, and that’s how I get to places that I can’t walk to. In a weird way, it felt like I had independence getting rides from Case Managers, other than my boyfriend but my facility doesn’t see it that way. It was embarrassing on Tuesday when my aunt had to pick me up from my appointment, and she had her grandkid in the car where she lies about who my therapists are even when I was a teenager. Maybe she can’t accept it, she used to lie about one of my therapists referring to them as a friend saying “how was your friends?” In conversation… So I had to deal with all that Tuesday, no wonder why I was depressed…
