A few years ago I was in a car accident. I wasn't driving, I was the passenger. Somehow our car ran into the car ahead of us and my seat belt failed. My head and nose were broken and bleeding. Fortunately the ambulance arrived swiftly and I received excellent care at the hospital.
But this is why I hate cars. It's not enough for you alone to do everything right; you have to depend on everyone around you doing everything right.
So the reason why I don't drive is because I don't trust myself enough. But I really ought to drive, because I don't really trust everybody else on the road either. If I can put my trust in anybody, it really ought to be me. Maybe someday I will.
