I don’t drive. I just kind of forgot to get my licence for a few years. Then I didn’t bother because I couldn’t afford a car. And then I started thinking maybe driving would be to dangerous for me, and everyone else. I have been planning to get my licence for a few years now just for convenience so that I can drive if I need to. But again, I keep putting it off.
Nevertheless, I have had my share of vehicular mishaps. Hitting my head when getting in and out of the car, slamming the door on my fingers, forgetting to lock the door or roll up the window etc. And I’m terrible at giving directions, telling people to turn right then realizing at the last minute that was wrong and shouting “no, left!” Or I get chatting and forget to tell them when to turn.
And I can’t count the number of times I’ve nearly been run over crossing the street at the wrong time or walking across a parking lot oblivious to the cars around me. It doesn’t happen as much now as when I was younger because I have learned to stop and give my full attention to my surroundings when I am in danger of being road kill.
