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.
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.
