Driving

In our culture if you don't drive you lack a skill.
One that you should learn.
People see the benefits of driving.

But consider the benefits of not driving,
rather than the defects.
Independance. Less pollution.
Less fatigued drives on the roads,
and therefore risk of accidents.

This could result in healthier more active people,
catching public transport, getting work done,
books read and listened to,
being able to just look around them and take note.
 Not just experiencing road rage,
but even walking or riding to work.
Arriving at their destination not irritable, but calmer.

Yes, I do concede that there are advantages to driving.
Faster commute, helping other people get places,
who can't catch public transport.

Why do we press only one point of view?
