"I have come to suspect that my lack of personal car was not about environmental and economic reasons but a plan perpetrated by my husband to keep me off the roads."
"While thankfully no living creature has ever been embroiled in my ineptitude, I am a terrible driver."
"I thought this was for reasons both environmental and economic. We're lucky. We live in the city and can cycle everywhere."
"I have never owned my own car. Since the age of 23, my husband and I have shared a car."
Entering my fifth decade without owning a car, I shared one with my husband since I was 23. Initially, it seemed practical due to environmental and economic reasons, as we live in a city where cycling is feasible. However, I now suspect my husband’s true motive was to keep me off the roads because I am a terrible driver. Despite never injuring anyone, my driving record reveals numerous accidents involving various barriers and obstacles.
