I don't actually have a driver's license (well, I do have a learner's permit which I need to get renewed at some point); I do have a truck here in Iowa, which my parents brought up when I was going to take my driving test for the -- third time, I think? -- but I failed it. :(
For the record, I've failed my driving test four times so far. I think I'm actually not a bad driver, if a bit overly cautious and never having been formally taught in driver's ed or anything; I just learned from my mom (never having gone to high school and all). But I think said failures were in part due to my own nervousness, in part due to occasional freakishly bad weather conditions, and in part due to the occasional asshole examiner.
So I get around Iowa City mostly by walking and city bus; I do prefer walking when it's not like a billion degrees below zero out, as while it takes longer it is better exercise and I enjoy just walking and listening to my iPod. When I go out of town I generally take the Greyhound bus, although sometimes when I'm coming back from a visit home my parents or my older brother will drive me up.
