Driving

Hi Roguelife. I drove for many years for work and for pleasure. I gave up my licence a couple of years ago because of the medication I was taking. I don't miss it at all. I never had any problems with  the mechanics of driving. For me it was just the stress of it. When I started driving there were not as many cars on the road and not much congestion. By the time I stopped driving, it had become impossible to go anywhere without being stuck in traffic or without feeling like I was driving a dodgem car.  I don't miss driving at all. 

The best thing about the last year's lockdown was the complete absence of cars on the road. It was like we'd been transported to another era. A paradise. And I could hear the earth letting out a huge sigh of relief too. Cars have transformed our towns and cities into hellscapes. I think we'd all be much healthier and happier if their use was restricted to long journeys or for medical purposes.

When did you take your test? I know the test has become more difficult over the years, not least because, as you say, it's so much busier now.
