As the title says I’m curious if my peers love or loathe driving?

I’ve been able to drive for a few years but never really needed to until I got a job which is 45 miles away.

I absolutely love it and I can’t explain why. It’s quite cathartic, there lots of stimulation and it’s fun to watch all the other cars.

I get to drive through lots of poor traffic jams then on to country roads with lots of cows to shout good morning to.

My friends said I’d get bored of it eventually, spoiler: they’re never right, yet I’ve been doing 500 miles a week for a few months and it’s still so much fun. I don’t care about the weather or the traffic I just like being in the car.

    I hate it. I’m not a good driver, I know this, but I swear, I am definitely an above-average one. The amount of unsafe behavior I see every time I’m behind the wheel, on top of the stress of navigating a dangerous piece of heavy machinery myself, is incredible stressful; and the mechanics of driving, specifically all the eye movement combined with holding my feet still while making sure my attention doesn’t wander, is very fatiguing.
