im really thinking about giving up t'car for the bus
Driving isnt as fun as it was when i first passed, im contantly worried about speed camaras, crashing, how much im drinking, kids on roads, bikes etc, There so much to worry about i somtimes forget where im even going!
I kinda get like a tunnel vision in my car alot, like im on one big road...and carnt change direction or anything its weird.I dont even feel like im driving 80% of the time, only when i dont drive for like 5 days, then drive again i feel like im driving.Does anyone else get the above feelings.Aswell as the above i also feel
Trapped
Rushed
On edge all the time
I dont know, the whole driving thing doesnt feel like it should for me.It might be due to some bad expereinces in my old car of getting attacked whilst i was parked up.Wont go into it.I think driving has def become less enjoyable over the years.

I know what your getting at, the only way to sort it is drive a proper car, not the PAS, heated seats, tea cup holder, air con rolling beds, a decent beast with a good engine, basic interior, nice free self centre'ing steering rack, and the rally experience commences.

if i'm driving too slow i get unattentative and bored and stressed if its because there is a car in front of me, if not i like it. Don't get we wrong i don't drive like a mad man or anything i just don't drive slow. Most of the roads i drive on are b road type things though if it was a motorway or dual carraige ways packed with speed cameras i'd get pissed off. like when you get nearer the centre of Huddersfield and Sheffield.

i always thought driving would be like driving a RC car You feel dead in control and you get a birds eye view of everything, where u wanna go etc.But driving a car, i guess you just see the same things passing...and you carnt really take in any views, or anything....cos your taking your eyes off road!

i get this 2, i carnt do 30 all the time! Ill be doing like 32,33,34 etc.
And if the car infront is doing 40 in a 30, ill do the same.
Yeh i hate hanging around though, but, somtimes i get days...where i wanna drive slow...and listen to some nice music....its weird

I love driving, but I often can't remember journeys, especially the frequent ones.

A car to me is just about transport now. If it get smashed up i really couldn't care less. I'd rather spend the money in my flat, going out and clothes.
