How do I get around? With great difficulty, my dear Plinky.

I haven't learned to drive yet because I dislike cars. Truth be told, I'm scared of them, to the point where I don't so much cross the street as run across it screaming for my life. I was nearly run over as a child, so the thought of being behind the wheel and nearly running someone over terrifies me.

Public transport irks me too. It's unreliable, poorly maintained, and ridiculously expensive for what it is. So I prefer to walk where I can. I only have little legs, so my walking speed resembles that of a dachshund, but it's free, it's healthy, and it's independent.

But it does suck trying to get somewhere that's too far away to walk, or if I'm in a rush (punctuality is important to me). I'd love to have a little Vespa scooter to tear around town with, but therein lies another tale...
