@maccath@phpc.social Sort of? I could drive but it was exhausting; I'm constantly worried about accidents, paying attention to everything all at once, and vigilance at staying in my lane and obeying all the traffic laws. For a while I only lived in places I could take public transit.
More recently I got a vehicle with traffic aware cruise control and lane keeping which means I mainly need to pay attention to the flow and not the minutiae.

@maccath@phpc.social Over time I've gotten less apprehensive: Knowing I'm following the rules of the road helps calm some of that anxiety. Now I want to move back to a place with more public transit but mainly because I want more density for walkable areas. I don't like having to drive 20 minutes to get anywhere.
