I don't. I tried for the license but it's too hard and the instructor is an asshole. I hate the lack of control and pressure. I will never drive and that limits my life. We have a car at home but nobody uses it due nobody having a driving license. The times I have to go on early shift my uncle, angry, drives me to my job. I wish I would get fired already so I don't have to deal with this pressure

Do you live in America or do you live in one of the places where they actually require you to be a skilled and competent driver before you can drive?

Is a bicycle an option to get to work? I'm guessing there's no bus option nearby or running early enough to be of use to you.

I use my bike to get around my entire city. I even built a cargo trailer for picking stuff up. It's not the norm, but I get to places I need to be in roughly the same time I would had I driven.

It's not, it's 2 towns far and it's cold at 5 am

[–] JoshuaFalken 1 points 1 week ago

Ah well I can see that kind of distance being an issue. While I'd say cold is a solvable problem with bar mitts and stuff, that time of day is certainly dark.

I don't know your area of course, but maybe there's an early morning commuter train or bus or something that could get you closer? For a time I rode to a station 20 minutes away, hopped on transit, then got off and rode another 15 minutes to get where I was going.

Maybe carpool? Though it might be unlikely any of your coworkers also live in your town.
