I have terrible situational awareness and awful reflexes. If I drive a car it's only a matter of time before I get into a wreck. I know that my driving would get better with experience, but I'm good not developing that particular skill. I'd rather just ride the bus.

Well, the thing is, I'm an excellent, gentle driver who abides by every traffic rule. (Mainly because I don't want to die in a car. Anywhere, anytime, anything - just not in a car.) It's everyone else that terrifies me. I've never been pulled over, I don't speed, I don't weave through traffic, I don't make any rough turns or stops, etc. But I've been cut off by so many morons, and I've watched so much terrible behavior from other motorists that I just don't like driving all that much.
