This is why I live in a public transit friendly city.
I hate driving, I think most people are bad drivers. Even completely sober, you might just be tired.
In places like LA driving is so essential people ignore license suspensions. Police often don't care, a friend of mine from nonchalantly talked about driving without a license or insurance.
I happily haven't had a car in about 2 years. No tickets, no insurance, no clown kissing my bumper. I'd love for more cities to invest in public transit.
I refuse to live in a city where I need a car! If I ever have to RTO, I'd rather ride a train. I can goof off on my phone, play video games, etc.

- mbg721 5y agoThere's a big difference between driving in stop-and-go traffic at rush hour and driving on a scenic road with no particular deadline. I guess some of that is "hell is other people", but I really enjoyed a national park auto tour (with audio guide) fairly recently.
- wolverine876 5y agoGood points and whatever suits you is of course fine. A suggestion: Try a tour on a bicycle. It's a very different experience: rather of watching from an isolated box, with somewhat limited view, and a bit distracted by the priority of driving, instead you are in it, with a 360 x 360 view, breathing the air, smelling the smells, hearing the sounds (with no engine noise). Also, it's much easier to stop and look, get up close, or go off-track.
- mbg721 5y agoI'd probably enjoy that as an individual, but it's trickier with a family.
