Drive-free Life

A photo of a sign which I walk by every day
RIVING can be a time-occupying and risky errand, which under certain circumstances is unavoidable. I got my license at the legal age (which was 17) and have not been involved in any accidents.
At 18, as I finally started University, I chose to live in central places, which made driving (or let alone car ownership) an unnecessary ‘luxury’. Everywhere I needed to go was 15-minute walking distance at most (well, nearly everywhere I needed to attend got covered). This habit saved time and trouble such as maintenance (garage, washing, purchases), so I look back with no regrets.
I still drive a lot on vacations, usually with my parents’ cars. There are certain prohibition due to insurance costs, which is another deterrent that relates to ownership of any vehicle.
