A few weeks ago, I decided to start a blog and have been working on it ever since. I’m not sure what I was thinking when I started the blog, but I’m glad I did. My first post was about a new app that shows you how to drive safely and follow traffic lights with no accidents as the basis of my thoughts.
I think I’m pretty good at writing.
I am a fan of driving. I still have to do a little bit of driving each day, but I can get my hands on better cars (and I can get them back on the road). The problem is, I drive a lot. And driving a lot of miles each day is not good for your body.
I know there is a lot of bad information about driving out there. I don’t know what you guys are doing about that. I’m not telling you to stop driving until you get a proper license, but I think you should be careful with your driving.
Well there you have it. I’ve been driving since I was 5 years old. I have an old school-style license, and I keep it very current. I still drive a lot and still drive a lot of miles, but I’m trying to drive less. That’s why I’ve added the word “lifestyle” to my bio.
I have to admit I was a bit surprised to learn that driving is considered a lifestyle choice. It would seem that in the past, people were more likely to choose not to drive in their lives. To be sure, I can’t think of any instance in my life where I have not driven. However, a person who doesn’t drive more often would be more likely to get into trouble (as opposed to someone who drives more).
I have a great deal of respect for the idea that driving a car is a lifestyle choice for a lot of folks. I believe that driving a car is a lifestyle choice for the majority of people. The question remains, how many people are actually driving less? I am not aware of any statistics that I could find on that.
While I would not go so far as to say that driving less is the norm, I think that driving less is a trend you can see. In fact, according to the U.S. Census, the average number of people driving each year has been dropping for years now. In the early 1990s, only 5.3% of people driving a car in the U.S. drove less than two hours each week. By 2011, that figure had dropped to 3.
This year, however, the average number of people driving a car in the U.S. fell to 3.3 hours a week, down from 4.5 hours a week in 2009. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau.
The trend of people driving less and less is due mainly to the fact that people are more reliant on their computers than ever before. The only way to fully take advantage of these computers and how they are used is to drive less. Because of this, the way we use our cars has changed dramatically, and as a result, so has the way we drive.
