I go some time without using mine ... but it does come in handy now and then.

For example ... I drove for the first time in a long time (a year maybe?) a couple months ago because Rowan had surgery and needed someone to drive him home. We drove the route a few days before the actual event so that I felt a little more comfortable with it, and then I drove him home on the day.

I suppose we could have gone with a taxi if it had really been necessary, but that would have been quite expensive getting out to where we live.
