As for wasting your life driving you could say the same about working. The drive is just part of the working day for me.

You're right.

Most Londoners commute for a longer period of time than that everyday, and that's if they are lucky enough to live near a tube station.

At least commuting in your car means you don't have to have your nose pressed up against someone's sweaty armpit, or risk getting touched up by a pervert.

That only happens in a car if you're married to one...or pick up a hitchhiker.
