And not everyone is the same as you op.
I have ME / fibro / chronic pain and had a few major surgeries over the past few years. I can’t take a bus. I’m disabled and don’t use a wheelchair. My disability is hidden. When not sat down with head support, I can get fatigued and reach a point, where I lose the ability to speak and collapse.
Obviously I only drive when well enough and a car has head support, which is essential for recovery. Having a car means I can actually leave the house. I can also drive to shops, go and do things, return to the car and recover when I feel fatigued.
I do not own nor want a mobility scooter as not walking the short distances I am able to do would make the aforementioned illnesses worse. Besides, neither wheelchairs nor mobility scooters give the support and safety I need and I certainly do not want to make a spectacle of myself in public. I’ve collapsed a few times when out and it’s overwhelmingly frightening, not to mention embarrassing, shop staff want to call ambulances and in store first aiders etc.
I have regular bodywork treatments from highly specialised people, I’ve found over the years. And pay for them myself. Without these, I’d be in a wheelchair and housebound. I need my car to get to these people regularly. I also need to do errands such as go to the post office or get cash out, buy the odd thing from the local shop and take my dogs to the local park to run around.
Please tell me how I could use public transport to get to these people and places. The post office is 3/4 mile away. The local shop and park are both 1/4 mile away. I can’t walk there.
Many people have hidden disabilities and older people have mobility issues. I’m an anomaly when it comes to the clusterfuck of illnesses and surgeries. But not when it comes to issues of mobility.
I have fuel and I am fine. Many others do not and need it for a variety of reasons other than plain old going to work. You sound horrible, nasty and ignorant op, like a jealous teen. Early 20s at best. Shame on you.
