I think our situation has something to do with where we grew up and learned to drive - I in a very congested urban/suburban environment, and he in a rural area where there were a lot of big, long roads and not as densely populated and built-up.
He really hates driving here, and even after more than 30 years that hasn’t changed. For me, it’s all I’ve known.
That makes sense. Intermittently, I used to drive a great deal on a crazy and intense schedule for work. Now, being over seventy, I drive as little as possible and choose to do so when traffic is slack.
