When I was
growing up in California, pretty much everyone drove everywhere. When I was 16,
I was the odd one out as someone who didn’t have a driver’s license and a car. Ten
years later in the U.K., I only know three people who have their own cars. A whole
lot of people I know don’t even have a driver’s license. I think a large part
of that is to do with public transportation. Brits complain about their bus and
train system a lot, but it’s a sight better than what we get in much of the
U.S.
