re: mass transit, I loved that aspect of living in northern Europe, taking the train everywhere instead of driving. Of course, doing that successfully requires packing all you need and not forgetting anything (being an hour into a 2 - 3 hour train trip and realizing you forgot your suit jacket at home is the worst), in addition to navigating the train timetable and making it there on time. Nothing easy about traveling when you're ADD!
Still, it was a lot safer, and as everyone else here says cost a lot less given the cost of auto accidents.
This doesn't surprise me slightly. Thanks for the info!
I hope my car insurer never finds out I have lazy inconsiderate bitch disease.
My mechanics are certainly aware of this.
