Do you drive?

67 and yes I drive but not at night if I can avoid it. I recently visited England but let my daughter drive, I suddenly felt unable to cope with changing to the other side of the road and put it down to the fact that I haven't visited for 3years because of COVID and I 've lost my confidence

I think women started learning to drive when they had to go out to work, rather than staying at home to look after the children. I was born in '57 and my Mum got the bus to work, but my Dad collected her in the car in the evening.

Yes, I drive and I love it, though I prefer it when DH is not a passenger!
I try not to drive in the dark much nowadays though as I find headlights troublesome.
My mum didn't learn to drive until my dad was too ill to do so, and many of her friends didn't drive at all - but travelling by bus/train was easier and cheaper then.

I am 69 and have never ever wanted to learn to drive..

Depends what age group you’re looking at? My friends and I - between 67 and 75 all drive, as does every woman on the small development (22 houses) where I live. My DDs couldn’t wait to learn but a friend’s DD and now her DGD weren’t bothered about driving, even though she offered to pay for lessons, etc

It was certainly common in my parents' generation for the wife not to drive, but I really thought we'd got past that now.

Yes, I drive. I don't actually know any woman of my age who doesn't, apart from those who have a medical condition which prevents them from driving.
