Which Celebrities Don't Drive?

Having a chauffeur is a perk many celebs enjoy – and some have no choice.

Russell Brand felt bad that his wife Katy Perry had to drive him around, so he recently started taking driving lessons. And it turns out the funny Brit, 35, is in good company.

Here are a few other stars who got their driver's licenses late in life – or simply don't drive at all:

Photobucket

Carey Mulligan, 25, never wanted to drive, but had to learn for her recent movie, Never Let Me Go. "I always thought I'd crash," Mulligan told PEOPLE at the Toronto International Film Festival. "I worked with a driver during awards season and he used to give me lessons on the side so that's how I got it together."

Photobucket 

Daniel Radcliffe, 21, who just learned to drive last year, was so determined to get his license that he opted to take lessons in the quiet English countryside instead of the congested streets of London.

Photobucket

Fellow Brit Robert Pattinson confessed he doesn't exactly know his way around a car to Ellen DeGeneres. "I don't actually know how to drive. It's absolutely terrifying," he told the talk show host while admitting he does drive himself around L.A. "I don't know how to use the little wipey thing on the windscreen, so I couldn't see out of the windscreen."

Photobucket

Earlier this year, singer Amy Winehouse, 27, declared that she wanted driving lessons on her Twitter account.

Photobucket 

Mad Men star Vincent Kartheiser, 31, takes two buses or the L.A. Metro to the set of his Emmy winning AMC show. "Instead of driving and being stressed out about traffic, you can work your scene, you can do your exercises or whatever on the bus," Kartheiser told The New York Times recently.

Photobucket

British comic Ricky Gervais, 49, needs to find new ways to spend his fortune since he doesn't have a license. "I don't drive so I haven't bought a flash car," he has said.

Honestly, when you're in NYC, why even bother with a car?
snowrobot 5th-Dec-2010 09:34 pm (UTC)
yea i didnt learn to drive till i was 19 because of this
limberwolf 5th-Dec-2010 07:51 pm (UTC)
lol same, i'm 20... i can get a license at the end of this month but i haven't taken enough lessons yet to actually pass the test

i also don't have a car... yay for feet
bob_always_wins 5th-Dec-2010 05:31 pm (UTC)
I'm 17, I don't even have my permit yet. I just really don't care about driving all that much.
vkitty 5th-Dec-2010 05:59 pm (UTC)
I was almost 19 before I got mine. I had a bunch of friends in high school who knew how to drive so I was kind of like "idc, I'll just get a ride..." Right now my mom is literally forcing me to learn to drive. It's horrifying. :(
devils_almond 5th-Dec-2010 06:18 pm (UTC)
Same here. I only got mine this summer because my college is a half hour away and I needed it. But during HS, my friends used to bug me constantly about getting it. I didn't need it then, so it wasn't a big deal to me.
withoutyoursmil 5th-Dec-2010 06:42 pm (UTC)
my mom was the same way. i failed the actual driving test like 2 or 3 times before i actually got it together.
anesthetics 5th-Dec-2010 07:03 pm (UTC)
I have feelings on this because my cousin is 18 and doesn't have a license. But keep in mind this is based on experience with friends, too.

I feel like if you don't want your license right at 16 (or as soon as humanly possible) there's a hearty chance your parents are coddling you too much. The exception is people who make good use of public transportation. But if you're getting rides from your parents and they aren't telling you "No bitch, I'm not going to drop everything and pick you up", then it's probably time to cut the cord.

OR if you just get rides from friends, well, they may secretly hate you now are eventually will. I've been the chauffeur friend and that sucks too. Even if people are chipping in money you still wonder how much people are using you.

K. I'm done.
evilfuckinbitch 5th-Dec-2010 07:13 pm (UTC)
that's okay, sweetie. I'm 27 and I just got my license this year because it became a necessity. Everyone acted like I was a creature from another planet because I had zero interest in driving. In fact I still don't, I just have to...
nichtsmuss 5th-Dec-2010 05:32 pm (UTC)
I took forever to learn how to drive, mostly because I've never had to.
vegasonacid24_7 5th-Dec-2010 05:32 pm (UTC)
Ugh, I want to learn how to drive but I freak out so much while driving. :(
miselemeas 5th-Dec-2010 06:12 pm (UTC)
I was made to learn how to drive and because I've felt forced into it, it stresses me out even more when I'm behind the wheel.
marielaurie 5th-Dec-2010 07:46 pm (UTC)
This used to happen to me a lot, that's why I was terrified of driving, but when I got my car and drove alone for the first time, it was like the easiest thing ever. It was strange yet pleasing. But yeah, take your time :)
parisdiorchanel 5th-Dec-2010 09:09 pm (UTC)
Me too. I'm so afraid I'm going to get in an accident. I'm scared that I'll never learn how to drive.
jabumbafuck 5th-Dec-2010 05:32 pm (UTC)
I think it's best for everyone that Amy Winehouse continue to not have a driver's license.

maidenhell 5th-Dec-2010 05:43 pm (UTC)
I feel the same. I have this paranoia that I will die in a car crash and am always ultra-cautious...however, there's no way to control other drivers.

This. I'm fairly confident in my own driving ~skills, it's other people I worry about.
pacalissanctum 5th-Dec-2010 09:47 pm (UTC)
Yes, I've been in two major accidents due to other drivers. The first was a person running a red light where there were no major injuries but I couldn't drive for nearly 2 years after. The 2nd was a head-on collision on the freeway with a drunk driver going the wrong way on the road. Oddly, that was the more major accident (by a longshot) but I don't actually remember it, so I was able to get into a car and drive much more easily [once I was out of the wheelchair and stuff].
baby_worlds 5th-Dec-2010 05:45 pm (UTC)
ugh me too. Everyone always makes fun of me, but I'll take a ride over driving myself anyday.

girlygirlk8e 5th-Dec-2010 05:58 pm (UTC)
I was in a bad accident about a month ago, and I haven't thought about driving since. It wasn't my fault, went on a green light and someone ran the light and spun me around 180. It just a mess, the person who hit me is the daughter of a sgt in my town so they basically all in all got away with it. /end rant.

I love open road driving. I hate LA driving, mostly because there are other people around to do stupid shit.

I feel the exact same way! Plus, I'm easily distracted so me behind the wheel is no buen.
bettalaylow 7th-Dec-2010 02:25 am (UTC)
Right now I have use of my sister's car or friends when I really need it but I feel like it's a waste of money because the car will just sit outside.
aliasagent 5th-Dec-2010 05:32 pm (UTC)
Personally, I wouldn't say that getting your driver's license when you're 20 as getting it 'late in life'. That said, I probably don't want to get a driver's license, ever.
captchasucks 5th-Dec-2010 08:02 pm (UTC)
YOUR ICON IS SO PRECIOUS.

and yeah, true. the reality is, some people really don't NEED a license. it's something convenient but there are some people who just don't need one.
nothingisnow 5th-Dec-2010 05:32 pm (UTC)
I'm such a shit driver.

At least I feel like one
magdalena_vroni 5th-Dec-2010 05:32 pm (UTC)
Dan Radcliffe looks good in that pic.

Please dear God don't let Amy behind a wheel.

I think I remember reading that Kate Beckinsale can't drive either.

odd_fish_stick 5th-Dec-2010 05:33 pm (UTC)
how can you not know how to drive? that's like a rite of passage into adulthood. like not knowing how to ride a bike means your dad didn't love you enough....
copa_cetic 5th-Dec-2010 05:36 pm (UTC)
I don't think it's super necessary if you live in New York or London
jxcka 5th-Dec-2010 05:39 pm (UTC)
this, plus it is expensive to learn/take the tests in the uk. idk about in the us.
odd_fish_stick 5th-Dec-2010 05:41 pm (UTC)
it's not but it's a good skill to have, just like knowing how to swim
maveness 5th-Dec-2010 06:09 pm (UTC)
I honestly was looking at the list above and thinking "But they're mostly British and how many come from London?" Having a car in London is a bad idea anyway. Like New York. Public transit is just easier in some areas, and if you grow up there, why bother with a car?
fordanglia 5th-Dec-2010 05:50 pm (UTC)
Care to pay for my lessons?
chipata 5th-Dec-2010 05:50 pm (UTC)
it's just not that common everywhere. especially in places with good public transportation.
emmacmf 5th-Dec-2010 05:51 pm (UTC)
I'm 32 and don't know how to drive, because a: my parents couldn't afford to buy me lessons when I reached 17 and b: when I started work I was on a shit wage and couldn't afford to pay for my own. I'm on better money now and could probably afford to drive, but I'm used to biking/busing everywhere now.
nicolaroberts 5th-Dec-2010 05:53 pm (UTC)
i was just about to bitch you out and then i saw your username :(
likeamime 5th-Dec-2010 05:56 pm (UTC)
oh greeeeeeat i cant drive or ride a bike, i must have some serious issues....some people just prefer public transport to this hassle, also its less wasteful.
fly_chickadee 5th-Dec-2010 06:00 pm (UTC)
It depends on where you live. Where I live, the bus system is kind of meh, and our city is spread out really far, so driving is the most convenient way to go. If I lived in a city like Toronto, or New York, I'd probably take public transportation more often.

That said, I love to drive. It relaxes me, which is weird, I guess. :P Also, I'd probably lose my mind depending on others to drive me places.
lovepollution 5th-Dec-2010 06:19 pm (UTC)
I'm almost 26 and I can't drive. I think that's way more common in the UK than the US (just look at all the Brits on the list). I've had lessons before but I just couldn't afford to keep them up as they're so expensive, plus I couldn't afford a car right now anyway.
hotcement 5th-Dec-2010 06:22 pm (UTC)
i can drive but i guess my dad didn't love me enough because i can't ride a bike.
tankmachine 5th-Dec-2010 06:25 pm (UTC)
i kind of agree

i mean i would probably prefer not to drive if given the option but i think it's a life skill people should know
hazel_belle 5th-Dec-2010 06:30 pm (UTC)
I live in NYC. Cars are just something that are bothersome.
It is really not necessary for me to have car, I'm just creating congestion and ruining the air quality.
mata_harii 5th-Dec-2010 06:39 pm (UTC)
By living somewhere where it isn't necessary.
maeh 5th-Dec-2010 06:42 pm (UTC)
I'm 20, don't have a license. Both of my parents also don't have one, all my life I've been walking/taking buses everywhere. Helps that my city has good public transportation, and I live close to the city center.
Also I just can't afford taking lessons, in my country it's a much longer and more expensive process than in the US (and I'm happy because of that, more responsible drivers).
Maybe I'll learn how to drive in a few years if I'm going to need it for a job or something, right now I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
get_gone 5th-Dec-2010 06:44 pm (UTC)
I can't drive OR ride a bike /kanyeshrug
everythingonit 5th-Dec-2010 06:48 pm (UTC)
It's not a rite of passge. It was turned into a rite of passage because the car companies need another mechanism to sell cars, just like they did in the fifties when they began to convince people they needed a new model car every year.

You're probably being facetious and I'm just over reacting. I can't drive. Being adult is something you earn I believe and driving isn't part of that for me.
acidosaur 5th-Dec-2010 07:14 pm (UTC)
learning to ride a bike doesn't cost hundreds of pounds
evilfuckinbitch 5th-Dec-2010 07:22 pm (UTC)
I'm 27 and I just started driving. Some people legitimately just don't like it. I had zero interest and still have zero interest in it. I was just forced into it because I knew it was a necessity.
greenshoes713 5th-Dec-2010 07:28 pm (UTC)
You're such a cunt.
evilfuckinbitch 5th-Dec-2010 07:32 pm (UTC)
and how did you know my dad didn't love me? lol
kitapita 5th-Dec-2010 07:46 pm (UTC)
I got my license at 16, but back then we could take driver's ed for $75 during the school day as one of our classes. I started the class second semester of my Sophomore year.

My son is 14 right now and wants to et his permit as soon as he's old enough (15 1/2), but unless his grades get up, there's NO WAY I'm paying for the lessons and for the insurance rates for a boy with poor grades, and he knows this.
bees_beads 5th-Dec-2010 08:22 pm (UTC)
Maybe if you live in the suburbs, but if you live in New York, London, DC, or really almost any big city, public transportation can get you everywhere. Plus it's usually really hard to find parking outside of an expensive lot.
crumpets_ 5th-Dec-2010 09:47 pm (UTC)
i just turned 21, still no license but my city has legit public transportation so i don't care. ive driven my mothers car around her po-dunk town so i know how, just not certified bc that takes effort
koala_d 6th-Dec-2010 04:55 am (UTC)
it depends where you live really. I grew up in a rural area, so it was a necessity. I do have friends that don't know now to ride bikes, and they seem to be doing fine without them, tbh.
hawaii_bombay 5th-Dec-2010 05:33 pm (UTC)
I don't think I'd like to take a ride with Amy Winehouse driving.

this is me! i dont care about getting my license until i have money to buy a car, get insurance, can afford repairs... and thats too daunting so i say fuck it as well! public trans it is!
fuk_q 7th-Dec-2010 04:31 pm (UTC)
Same. When I was 15 I kept pestering my mom to teach me and I only got 2 lessons out of her. I can't afford lessons/car payments anyway.

nanewt011 Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 05:40 pm (UTC)
yes, and no

the fact that I don't think I'm a good driver means I try to never put myself in situations that I have to drive out of, I'm very conservative behind the wheel
khlassique Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 05:40 pm (UTC)
yes and yes. after the accident, definitely a more conservative driver in bad weather, which is fine 'cause my car is an old person car anyway. people just assume I'm 80.
fakevoices Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 05:40 pm (UTC)

deseti_prsten Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 05:41 pm (UTC)
Yes and.. sure. I get told all the time that I'm too tense when I drive. But, considering that I live right next to one of the deadliest intersections in the city, I think I'm gonna stay that way.

lindsey11387 Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 05:54 pm (UTC)
Yes and sometimes.

I'm good by myself, but I think I'm a terrible driver when my friends are with me! They make me nervous. I also get angry easily because the people in my town are terrible drivers. To get your license here you just have to back out, make two right turns and park. My friend had no clue that you couldn't turn left on a red and almost killed me once. They actually have signs here that say no left turn on red because people assume you can do it since you can go right on a red.

They also go 20 under the speed limits on the main roads and 20 over on the highway. It sucks when you are trying to get on the interstate when people are going 20 mph to get on an interstate where people are going 80 mph.
sitakhet Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 05:54 pm (UTC)

vkitty Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 06:03 pm (UTC)
I can kind of drive. At least I can turn the car on and make it go places, but I'm shit at parking, U-turns, turning my signal on... all of that important rules stuff. So, no, I'm not a good driver.

i love driving but I'm kind of spacey. It's a miracle I haven't gotten into an accident yet (knock on wood...)
secretivexhero Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 06:03 pm (UTC)
I drive, have driven since I was a kid, and never actually needed lessons. I taught myself and would drive around without a license lol. And yes, I consider myself a very good driver. Every one always says they want me to drive when we go on trips because they know they're in good hands.
palexblue Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 06:05 pm (UTC)
yes and ...yes. I handle myself really well, I've just broken rules that I shouldn't have broken....lol

fly_chickadee Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 06:07 pm (UTC)
yes and I think so...besides several parking tickets, I've only ever ended up in one accident, where I rear ended a shiny, expensive silver convertible with a minivan. our minivan didn't have a single dent; the entire trunk of the convertible crumpled like an accordion.

also, I have road rage sometimes.

Learning and I don't consider myself a good or confident driver. Living off nerves anytime I'm behind the wheel.

I can drive really well; I just can't park.
vzylexy Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 06:38 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I can drive, but I live in a rural town and it's nothing like driving in a big city. I consider myself an "okay" driver, I don't have a terrible amount of experience as I got my license back in April at 23 years old. We have one main road through town and most of the streets connect to it, so it's not like driving around here is like driving in say, Portland. I get paranoid when I park because I drive around a huge dually truck, so it can be a pain.
sydnithewinner Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 06:48 pm (UTC)
yes and sort of? I like to think I'm a good driver.
Like, I follow a lot of precautions but I like to speed, so lol
daisychain_halo Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 06:56 pm (UTC)
yes and yes. i mean obviously as time goes on i'll get better, but i'm good now.
mschatterboxxx Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:01 pm (UTC)
My dad forced me to get my license as early as possible. I never got driving lessons but passed my Driving Tests with only one try. That doesn't really mean much, but I take it that I'm decent. I'm not much of a reckless/careless person but I've had moments where I thought "WTF? Should not have done that."
anesthetics Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:10 pm (UTC)
Yes.

I think I'm a good driver but I say things to other drivers like "OH MY GOD, VAN. DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST RAM YOU WITH ALL YOUR KIDS INSIDE BECAUSE I WILL DO IT", "If you go any slower, time will stop", "You don't get shot in the face as often as you should", and "You drive like old people fuck", so maybe I'm a little over reactive.
sophistiquated Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:11 pm (UTC)
Yes, and yes, but I avoid the freeway as much as possible. I know how to drive on it - I have before, but it just gives me so much anxiety :(
awaywithpixie Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:18 pm (UTC)
Driving since 1987 (yes I'm older, deal with it) without a fine or conviction, and the only time I've ever had to use my insurance was when a neighbour backed into my car...

So by that definition, so far, and hopefully into the long distant future, yes, I think I'm a good driver.
theactualworst Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:21 pm (UTC)
I got my license in May and don't have a car of my own so my experience level is shit. So I'm gonna say mediocre.
anindeliblemark Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:21 pm (UTC)
I wasn't medically able to drive for about three years. Getting behind the wheel again was the most incredible feeling, oh my god.

And yes. I tend to drive a little fast, but whatever. :)
ohtheglorious Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:30 pm (UTC)
Yes, and I would say so. I do speed, but I'm pretty cautious and skilled.
yehyijun Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:36 pm (UTC)
Yes, and yes, although I get road rage easily when people are tailgating me or driving too slow. The only fender benders I've been were minor and weren't my fault... and no tickets or citations for me as of yet for the 5 or 6 years that I've been driving.
another_grl Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:40 pm (UTC)
Yes, and no... I speed and tailgate slow and annoying drivers. :) lol
sorryteacups Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:52 pm (UTC)
Yes and yes. Being ticket free is awesome :3
beokitty Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 07:52 pm (UTC)

Yeah, I basically have to drive every day. I like it, and I think I'm a pretty good driver, but my boyfriend disagrees. :/
marvelously Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 08:14 pm (UTC)
i can drive! and i'm a pretty great driver, minus my lead foot that sometimes makes an appearance. i also have a habit of passing slow drivers on long stretches of road that are on the outskirts of town. also, i'll drive 5mph below the speed limit if a jerk is tailgating me. i've never been ticketed before, though, so .. :)
zparklemotion Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 08:18 pm (UTC)
Yes, and meh. I don't drive all that often, so when I finally do get behind the wheel I tend to get overly cautious/scurrred
starzangelus Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 08:39 pm (UTC)
I've known how to drive since I was 12. I'm a good driver but can be insane behind the wheel (because I'm fast). Do not drive in front of me if you at the speed limit because I guarantee I will going over it by about 15mph.

I'm anal about driving. I always use the proper techniques, etc. I don't use my cell phone, I hate slow drivers, etc. USE YOUR GODDAMN TURN-SIGNAL. THAT'S WHAT ITS THERE FOR.

I like to control things in my life. Knowing how to drive is just another thing I can control.

Here in Texas, so many highways are at 70mph. I love it. Means I can go 85. :)

/cool story bro
nene718 Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 09:20 pm (UTC)
I can drive, and I think I'm a pretty good driver now. When I first got my car, I was such a mess though. I'm talking about running red lights and driving over sidewalks.
kaisenji Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 09:22 pm (UTC)
Yes I do (was very proud to get my license the first hit) and I am. Haven't had a tix in 16 years and plan on remaining a good driver so I can boast about it in another 14 yrs. :)
awkwardmumbles Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 09:38 pm (UTC)
i looove driving so much! i think im pretty good because i am cautious but i have finesse~ and im not a crazy asshole who always has to be ahead of everyone and puts others in danger, but i can keep up with the flow of traffic and get to places fast etc etc and ive never gotten a ticket or anything but i did back into a fire hydrant when i was younger and i accidentally tried to pull out of a spot and didnt notice a giant pole next to me ahaha :) but that was when i first got my license
astronauteyes Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 09:48 pm (UTC)
Yes and I think I'm an alright driver. I just started driving about a year ago after getting my car.
I'm a careful driver but at the same time I'm not some granny driver that goes 10 miles under the speed limit and takes forever to turn or park.
fortunaestcaeca Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 5th-Dec-2010 10:30 pm (UTC)
yes and yes.
tatianomaly Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 6th-Dec-2010 12:39 am (UTC)
Yes and yes.
I'm only 17 and I know, of course all teens think they're good drivers, but I have military parents and they don't play when it comes to safety.
justabwaybaby Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 6th-Dec-2010 12:42 am (UTC)
Yes and I'm okay. I've gotten pulled over twice- once for speeding (the cop was on my tail late at night, and I hate people right on my tail....I didn't even realize I sped up a little) and once for a broken taillight. I'm kind of a paranoid driver- around the time I could have gotten my permit, two friends died in a freak car accident.
rallygirl33 Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 6th-Dec-2010 02:36 am (UTC)
Yes. I'm a better driver now I must say. Before I was pretty reckless so I crashed the car like, twice already. I've learned my lesson.
koala_d Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 6th-Dec-2010 05:01 am (UTC)
yes, but I don't think I'm a good driver. I've never been in an accident or have received a ticket yet, so IDK.
jjuunniiee Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 6th-Dec-2010 07:07 pm (UTC)
I can drive. I think I'm okay, but I most definitely need more practice. I live in Toronto and REFUSE to drive anywhere downtown. These people can't drive for shit. The only time I ever drive is when I'm out in Barrie. That's where I'm learning and that's probably where I'll take my test. Besides, the only reason I'm getting my license is because I'm going to need it for work eventually.
casenumber825 Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 6th-Dec-2010 09:16 pm (UTC)

joaniemaloney Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 6th-Dec-2010 11:52 pm (UTC)
yes, but I don't think I'm very good. I suck at parking but I try to be as careful as I can when I'm on the road.
caesarea Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 7th-Dec-2010 04:27 am (UTC)
I got my license a month before I turned 20, and no, I'm not a good driver. I'm such a dumbass on the road I have no idea how I haven't wrecked yet.
leomentlines Re: ontd, can you drive? if so, do you consider yourself a good driver? — 7th-Dec-2010 04:37 am (UTC)
yep, and definitely yep. i'm conscious of what I'm doing, as well as paying attention to what OTHER people are doing (imo you can be technically the best driver in the world, but if you're shit at defensive driving it doesn't mean anything).

But I RAGE at people that get in the left lane creeping at/below the speed limit! If you are not willing/comfortable driving at a speed that would likely render a speeding ticket, gtfo the left lane!!! /endrant
