I lived in London, UK for 11 years (renting) before the pandemic so never bothered learning to drive, the public transport there is so prolific it's almost seamless (tube, bus, overground, train, uber etc) Since moving back into a midlands city and purchasing a house, it quickly became apparent that *not* owning a car was detrimental to quality of life, there's a lot of aspects of home ownership where having a car just makes sense. Going to the DIY store to buy bulky items, going grocery shopping to do a "big shop", moving stuff around etc. So I got my driving license at 36 years old a few months back. It's kinda awkward learning to drive at this age but I think I took it more seriously when I learnt a little bit at 17. I'm still in the honeymoon period so quite enjoy the novelty of driving, the independence etc. I guess one advantage I do have with working remotely is I don't commute to work, so all my driving is 100% leisure and I don't drive during the peak/rush hour times.
