< Being A Confident Pedestrian

~skedaddle3644

As someone who doesn't live in a city, my car is my lifeblood.

Car's offer freedom to visit friends, family, go to the doctors, do the shopping, and is critical to my work.

I wouldn't have been able to meet a customer to assist with their issues 130 miles away. The trains are God awful, expensive, and presently partly shut down due to pay strikes.

While I like the idea of walking, it's just not a feasible solution for someone in a tiny town in the countryside.

I have the gym next door, and walk an hour or two sometimes to get to the smaller shops in town.

Petrol prices are expensive, but my freedom is more valuable.
