I cannot drive, I used to have a provisional which expired last year, having attempted to learn to drive about ten years ago. Got to the practical test stage three times. Last time nearly passed without so much as a minor, until just before where I pulled into park. Examiner at the end of the test: 'So you didn't see that red light at the crossing just before you pulled in? Keep trying, you'll get there'. Unfortunately by this point I was off to University and couldn't really justify the expense of learning to drive, let alone driving and car ownership itself. I hasten to add it was a pedestrian crossing with nobody actually crossing, still no excuse but I know the exception some would take on here were it a level crossing!
Just as well actually, it was from using the train to get around that I got interested in things like what class units/locos I would be getting, what lines I would be using, etc. and my love affair with the railways (and ambivalence towards First PMT (uni) and hatred of Dales and District (home)) began. Now I have a medical condition I'd have to declare and though my consultant reckons I'd be absolutely fine I can't really be bothered with the hassle or risk of wasting the application fee to discover I can't drive if I were to reapply for my provisional with a view to starting taking lessons/the tests again. Currently living in Nottingham but moving back to Thirsk in a few days, there's really no need for a car in Nottingham.
