I don't have one either, my second provisional expired last March and I have still to apply for the third.

The irony is that I work as a road design engineer...

Who needs one anyway, the Green Line is my oyster!

I don't and never did. Cars make people very lazy driving 5 minute journeys instead of a 10 minute walk.

And not having one makes for a nice quiet relaxing Christmas, don't have to go driving around visiting people

I don't drive at all. I live in Temple bar so no real need.

I have no idea how to drive.
The stigma I get at home and from the in-laws is unbelievable, "26 and cant drive!"
However most of my mates dont drive either. I guess when I go trying to get a job in the new year I may have to learn, if I dont move out foreign.

I don't have one either.
So journey times aren't so important as frequency.

I get the stick thing too.

I honestly think its an age thing. Most of my friends over 30 do. Very few my age (25) do and a couple have started to think about it, myself included.
