Edit Reason: Clarification - I may not have gotten across that the driving condition I spoke of was also a bit cramped

I really quite hate driving. Way too stressful, I tell you.
My reaction time and sense of distance and placement are pretty bad, and in places with high population density traffic can be downright insane. I recently had to drive in Durham, NC to take my dad to a specific hospital. Six lanes (3 per side), each one with tons of people going anywhere from 6 to 20 mph over the speed limit. Your options are to either speed with everyone and drive super aggressively if you need to be in a specific lane or potentially cause a wreck by trying to drive lawfully. There really are no other options; too many tightly spaced vehicles going fast, so you have to go with the flow. And this isn't even that bad in comparison to other places, apparently. I feel like an accident waiting to happen, especially in traffic situations like that. So yeah, driving is not for me.
Unfortunately it can't be done without because of where many important places are. Otherwise I'd opt to not renew my license without a second thought.
