Why I don't have a driving license

[Gonthar]

When I was a kid, my dad bought a car, which was a pretty huge deal back then in Romania, very few people could afford one, I was like the only kid in my class whose dad had a car, and I was pretty proud of it. Then communism ended, the market was invaded by cheap, second-hand cars brought from the west and many people started to buy them...
However my dad's car had a leak or something, it always smelled like gas inside, and whenever we went somewhere I would get a headache or feel sick inhaling the fumes. I thought all cars are the same, so I had no interest in learning how to drive it, I preferred to use the bus, train or other ways of moving around and I felt a repulsion whenever I had to get inside a car. It took a very long time, until I eventually noticed that other cars actually don't smell inside, but by that time it was too late, I'm 39 now and still don't have a driving license....

Yeah, but what can I do, also what's the point of learning to drive and getting a car if I don't have much of a social life, and don't travel almost anywhere?

Because you can go wherever you want whenever you want. A good car with driving pleasure is like meditation some times.

Go where? Also, have you seen the traffic in Romania? Pretty far from a pleasurable experience.

Surely there's some road that leads outside the city where there's not too much traffic? I like driving to beautiful places to explore nature. City driving is terrible though. By driving pleasure I meant a car that handles well and makes you feel one with the vehicle
