How many of you drive/don’t drive?

[Evillangbuildsmc]

I just want to know if everyone on this forum drives or not, because I'm curious to know if every roadgeek drives.

[hotdogPi]

I'm one of the few that doesn't here.

I checked "other" because the amount I drive has varied over the years. I telecommute, so these days I don't drive much, if at all, during the week, but I do drive on the weekends and when we travel. In the past I drove for my commute, including one job in North Carolina for which I commuted 40 miles each way, so I drove a lot more.

I drive every time I leave the house (don't use the bus or Uber on a regular basis, and my city doesn't have a train other than the monorail), so I put "often".

[epzik8]

I have a new job as a traveling retail merchandiser all around Baltimore and DC, so that's a big fat (and sometimes frustrating) yes.

[JayhawkCO]

Even though I no longer commute for work, I still drive every weekday for sure at least to day care and back.

[SEWIGuy]

I think the last day I didn't drive was two weeks ago today.

[Max Rockatansky]

Depends on what you mean by "drive?"  Commuting is different than say finding a bunch of back roads in the mountains on a day off.  I consider the latter to be actual driving and be something I partake in at least thirty or so times a year.

My amount of driving on a daily basis will plummet because I retired this week, eliminating 500 miles a week that I had to do.

I will still do plenty of other driving....

[Rothman]

Walk to work, but drive to get groceries and to church, along with little day drives on weekends that my wife and I take.  Have to drive a work vehicle every so often to places around the state and drive extensively on vacations.

Congratulations on retirement!

I drive just about every day.

Maybe one day every other month, I'll either have no errands to run or and just stay home during a weekend.

I had a stroke in 2008, so bye-bye driving. In 2019 I started having seizures, so that made it permanent as Illinois won't issue a license to a person subject to seizures lest they become a "silver alert" in motion
("Why am I in North Dakota?")

I think commuting by car is obviously driving.

Congrats, but you might be surprised at how much you do. Not 50 miles each way anymore, sure. But I've heard a lot of retirees, myself included, say that they wonder how they ever had time to go to work. And a lot of that non-work activity includes driving to the activity.

From a literal sense commuting is.  I was hoping the OP would elaborate and ask something more grandiose.  Seemed like a long shot given dude only has three posts.

Yeah, I don't think he meant more than literally driving.

To be fair, I'm usually pretty surprised at how many people in the road fan don't actually drive.  I didn't even think that would be a thing before finding this forum.

[Bruce]

I drive to catch a bus or train for most city-bound trips.

[Big John]

I don't play golf. 

[Flint1979]

I drive about 50,000 miles a year.

[jlam]

I drive every day, but I'll be doing it quite a bit less after August when I go off to college.

Considering |Max Rockatansky|'s interpretation of driving, I try to take an exploration trip once a month. This isn't often, but it's more often than I had previously taken them. In school without a car, I suppose I'll take my trips via public transportation.

[toxicstar27]

I plan on getting my license soon. Gonna need it for school.

[Mav94]

I live in a small, fairly remote town, so I drive probably 6 days a week, but my total driving adds up to maybe 8,000 miles a year. I used to drive 30k+ but as much as I like roads and driving, I'm glad I don't drive that much any more.

[Henry]

FWIW, ever since the COVID thing hit, I've found myself not commuting as much as I used to thanks to working from home, but I still do lots of driving on weekends. And it's going to take ten more years until I have all the free time in the world to explore more of the country, as that's when my scheduled retirement will be taking place.

[bandit957]

Because of very severe health problems, I'm no longer able to drive. I just can't do it anymore.

I'm way past the middle of life, so I think I can forget about driving for good.
