Being A Car-Free Parent Isn’t Just Possible, It’s Great – vogue.co.uk

As I think I have mentioned here before, I am a virgin who can’t drive. Well, okay. That’s not quite true. I have had driving lessons, for about two months when I was 17. Only, my driving instructor’s dad took over for a couple of weeks, during which time he asked my mum out, she said a horrified no and things got so awkward that I simply never had another lesson. (He asked her if she’d like to “go for a drive” which, for a driving instructor, has always struck me as an amazingly unimaginative date idea. Like a plumber asking a prospective partner if they’d like to come and watch them fit a boiler one evening.)
