I don't see a problem with it, although (gas prices aside) it's not ideal since I find it hard to really look around while I drive, especially in places that are unfamiliar. I once lived at a place I'd stayed at for a couple of years and it wasn't until I was moving out that I realized I'd never once taken a left turn from my own driveway! These days I tend to do that kind of neighborhood wandering in google maps/earth.
