I would have thought that insurance is a problem with you lot, being as it were, under 30 and male (apart from 2funki)? In most cases the car is cheaper to buy then the insurance!!

I dont have a driving licence either.

Still under 30 though

I think having a car parked in my driveway for 5 out of 7 days is a waste, you still pay the same tax/insurance/NCT charges like people who regularly use theirs.

Who'd have thunk it? A large number of people who support an organisation which is campaigning for better public transport don't drive. What are the odds

Does the opposite of this mean, that if we drive we wouldnt give a toss about public transport?

That's the general impression I get in this country.

I quit my job in Dublin because of the lack of a late train service to Portlaoise. I will have to drive to my new job in Birr because there is no public transport option. I have a provisional licence and have been waiting for my test for 6 months and have just found out the waiting list have gone up by another month.
