Does anyone have (or overcome) a huge mental block regarding their ability to drive, or is it just me? 🤔
I have never wanted to drive, to the point where I don't believe it's possible for me to do so. It's more than just a lack of confidence, I literally can't see myself driving.
Despite _owning a car and being fully insured to drive it_, I've only sat behind the wheel once in my life - a few years ago, in an empty car park. Frustrated with my inability to steer, I didn't try again.

@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.
