Any other NEETs here have a fear of driving?

I'm naturally high and constantly go into pseudo-daydreams so I can't trust myself behind the wheel, but I live in America which means if I don't drive I can't get anywhere.

Terrified, actually.

I have a bus pass. It expires when I was supposed to graduate university (lol) which is in 2014.

I can get anywhere cheaply!

I just wish it was a date I could easily change with a marker, like 2013 to 2018 or something.

Yes, I am very afraid of driving. Even if I don't do anything wrong some dumb shit might ram his 3 metric ton hunk of metal into my not-as-heavy hunk of metal and maim or kill me. And don't even get me started on highways...

Carrying your groceries on the bus is fucking embarrassing, though.

I throw everything in a gym bag to try to hide it but I have to do it in the parking lot.

I know that honking feeling. Because of that i never enter a city by car. I always park outside, where no other agressive car drivers are around. And then I take the train and bus for the remaining distance. The people in there are scary too, but it's still better than car drivers.

On my third day of driving lessons, they forced me to go onto the I-4. I was a nervous wreck the entire time.
The worst part was that my instructor wanted me to stay on the left lane, and everyone kept honking their horn at me for going 70 instead of 90 like the rest of them (even though the speed limit is 65). I slowed down to 65 and the guy behind me got even more buttblasted. 5 minutes passes and he finally figures out he can pass me because I'm not moving over for anal nerds.

Man, last time I drove on the interstate I just went 60 the whole time when the speed limit was 65 and everyone else was going 75.

Surprisingly no one honked their horn or anything for me to go faster. It could also be because my car shakes violently at 60 and above so they kept their distance but I like to think that they're just nice.

I daydream all the time, worse if I don't have music going.

Aside from that I love driving but it is kind of a risk at night, I could drive across the country if it wouldn't cost hundreds of dollars in gas. Being a delivery driver would be nice if I got to use a company car or something, I could totally do that all day.

Kinda want to buy a motorcycle of some kind, something cheap and light because parking normal sized cars just to look at stuff is such a hassle.

>>10674415
I usually go like 5 under the limit just because i'm never in a hurry, and its cheaper in the long run.

Question: Have never driven before, possibly will start soon or at least try to get a license

Is it a bad idea to wear earbuds while driving? When I'm in a car now I always listen to music, it's become so normal that I hate going anywhere without it, but I understand that you probably have to be able to hear shit around you if you're doing the driving
