Can you - do you - drive?

I can drive but due to lack of mobility I don't. I rely heavily on my two sons to get me around. When I did drive I drove absolutely anywhere and particularly loved motorway driving. I have driven all over the uk, even when married I had my own vehicle and me and the kids were very independent.

I can, I do and I love it. But not as much as I used to, as driving standards have deteriorated dreadfully.

I will drive any vehicle anywhere. I'm 67 and my husband can drive but very rarely does as it's just habit that I get in the driver's side.

I don't tell him, but I'm nervous when he's driving as he seems so slow!!

Over the past 24 hours on GN, I’ve seen any number of women claiming they can’t drive, or don’t drive on motorways, or they are afraid of driving long distances, or that their DH does all the driving. I was quite astonished. I thought these attitudes were ancient history. Have I got the wrong impression, or is it true that older women are mostly timid drivers or don’t drive at all?
