I went about 2 weeks when I had my appendix out ....... didn't really miss it, although I had a 1.1 Peugeot 205 at the time.

Learnt to drive and passed my test when I was about 18-19. Drove for about 2 years, Then because I was either in college or travelling I didn't really drive a car on a regular basis till I bought my own at 24-25. Whats that 3-4yrs?

6 months. Lived in Zurich for a while and only came home every 6 months. No need for a car out there. The public transport system cannot be faulted at all. It was so easy to use. If I ever go back there to live I cant imagine me using a car except at weekends.

For about a month after I nearly got killed on my motorbike. I was a bit rusty but it came back in minutes.

Passed my test and then didnt drive again for two years. Since then I doubt I have gone more than 48 hours without driving.

A day or maybe 2 at very most since passing my test in 2002.
