I lived in the city without a car for over a decade and just started driving again regularly last year. For some reason I absolutely hate driving on highways now. I recently drove from the Chicago area to the Ann Arbor area, and I absolutely hated it. Over the last week I've taken several trips farther into the NW suburbs and really enjoyed it. The big difference was hours of monotonous highways versus some heavily wooded areas.
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoSimilar experience here. I'm almost certain that American drivers got even worse over the last 6 years as I was holed up in the city. Maybe it's more distraction from phones, worse controls/UX... or maybe drivers ed has gotten even worse. American roads have always been filled with absolute morons - maybe our IQ is dropping? Whatever the reason, I despise driving now, until I get to the mountain backroads.
