Anyone regretting not learning to drive?

[Doingtheboxerbeat]

I have never ever had a problem with not driving due to living in cities with excellent transport links and being an avid cyclist but I am really regretting it now since lock down.
I finally got around to getting my provisional licence back in March then I lost my job due to covid-19.
I live alone and really want to go to the beach or anywhere that is too far away to cycle but I can't justify using public transport for this can I? And I can't really expect another household to take me.
I'm just bored shitless - anyone else?

Public transport isn’t brilliant where I live, in lockdown it was almost non existent. I don’t know how people cope without driving. Coronvirus Testing centres here are only drive through which takes 5 mins or you have to order online which takes forever. I can’t imagine doing a big weekly shop without a car. At least my car only has my germs in, I would hate to get in a taxi. The local safari park has just opened, I have booked to go next week, this would be impossible without a car. I love the independence and freedom driving gives you, I don’t have to rely on anyone to get anywhere.
