I do not drive due to eyes problem and ever since I don't drive I walk or bicycle everywhere and I find that 75% of drivers are hazards on the road how many times have I seen people not making their stop signs or passing on a red light or talking on the phone or doing whatever else while driving.

They all say the same thing I am a good driver and everybody else is the bad one but let me say this if goverments were not so prone on collecting the money of drivers a lot would never be allowed to drive.

Not because you have a drivers permit that it means you know how to drive so people take from someone that has often been nearly hit or runover by distracted drivers please wake up before you kill someone.


Excellent point, and I agree.

Okay okay I confess if I meet someone that did not drive it does not mean I would not date him just that it would be a sort of issue. Due to distance and being able to get together.

I do not think it makes a person any less then a person and did not mean to sound that way if in fact I did. Just that it would be and issue for me to not have that freedom of them getting around as far as us going places together for I'm not one to hop on a bus.

Instead I'm spoiled to having something to drive and being able to go when I want to and where I want to.

Thank you, both of you fran and lil...was starting to get worried that the whole world would start to look at me for the car I don't have...rather than the heart I have to give.flowerforyou

guess it's all up to the individual, while I lived in NYC, cars were a luxury as I used public transportation quite often, however, when I moved to Florida cars are more of a necessity than a luxury. Public transportation stops running at a certain time, only runs in a select area and taxis, hella outrageous.

Hell, I wish most of the drivers here were as honest as you, not drive because of lack of concentration. Can't tell you how often people use stop signs as a parking spot.


Thank you for that kind post.flowerforyou

One reason I do not drive is the very real fear that she and I could be in a serious accident because I missed that traffic light. Now she's a parapalegic, and I am injured but still have the full use of my arms and legs, and start to die inside because of what I did to her.


yikes you may lack concentration but have a very vivid imagination (quite morbid) shocked but to each their own - if you dont feel safe behind the wheel dont drive flowerforyou



What a nightmare first date, eh?laugh

You need a car to get around this town. The bus service sucks.

Do you not drive because of epilepsy???? If it was a medical problem, then no problem.




I simply don't like to drive. Let's just say, I don't trust myself behind the wheel.:smile:



Humm well if you can't trust yourself behind the wheel then there must be and underlying reason for that.

One that your not admitting I don't know anyone that loves to drive heck even some truck drivers don't love to. But we all do what we must do in order to survive in life.


Read some of my earlier posts. I totally admitted the reason as being poor concentration. In my little experience driving I tend to zone out. Concentration becomes difficult. Everything distracts me. As I zone out, I stop noticing things on the road. Important things, like traffic lights and other cars.

That doesn't take anything away from me as a person, although a couple of you seem to believe otherwise.


Okay so you have ADHD are you taking meds for this? I never said that it takes away from the person they are I just said that it would be the deal breaker for me as far as dating them. I understand you have a medical condition and due to that I commend you for not driving. Just that for me it would not work dating someone that did not drive.


With that last paragraph, I wasn't referring to you.:smile: But there are others on here that apparently believe the inability to drive somehow makes one less of a person. Or a terrible person.huh

If you can't pay attention to the road while driving... how are you going to pay attention to your date?

Just saying........


Those are two completely different things.

Let's just say I think that reason is selfish, and I pity the person you expect to drive you all over creation.


That's a load of crap. Selfish? How do you judge that? You just assume I'd have her drive me all over creation, which is untrue and unfair. Just because I don't drive doesn't mean I'd want or need her to be a damn taxi service.

Is taking the bus so damn socially unacceptable??


You must not have read MY POST. Selfish.. yes I proclaim.... egocentric would be more accurate.


Yes, I did read your post.

So I'm selfish...because I don't own a car and because you assume I'd want anyone to drive me all over the place.

Now I'm apparently egocentric too. I applaud you. I've written a handful posts, and you already know all there is to know about me!

To anyone living in a town, I can understand why it would be a deal breaker.

To anyone living in a city (as I've stated I do), it shouldn't make a bit of difference.

"Broke as a joke?"

"Can't support myself? Doesn't work?"

Why do you assume these apply to me? Did I miss something?

You did not hit the bullseye. You didn't even hit the damn dartboard.

"Can't handle responsibility over likes and dislikes?"

Where are you getting this crap?huh

laugh I'm not really concerned about my small hands.

This is just one of the millions of random questions that occur to me from time to time.

1--I can't afford a car, let alone the price of gas.

2--I can't concentrate on the road.

3--I don't enjoy driving.

Am I wrong to be turned off by a date who wears them?

I mean...is it cuz they are eager to see me sooner...or just too lazy to tie a bow? :laughing:


I wore velcros until I quit school 'cause I couldn't tie regular shoes...fortunately that was a long time ago...

A car is a must for me. Well especially where I live you HAVE to have a car to get around. It would be different if I lived in a big city like new york or DC.flowerforyou Then I wouldn't care if he didn't have a car.


I guess I could see it if I still lived in a small town...Fortunately I live in a big city.bigsmile

This evening I was walking home from getting groceries, and I missed the bus. This nice old lady I didn't even know offered to drive me home.:smile:

Something that reaffirms what little faith in humanity that I have left.biggrin
