I live in NYC but commute to NJ so if I stay in the city on the weekend (which is what we most often do) it’s 5 days a week. If we spend the weekend at the cabin or otherwise out of town, it’s 7. ---

Zero. Didn’t vote. I live in Chicago and take the CTA and cabs. ---

I am also a New Yorker. Maybe I drive once every month or two. ---

At least 6. I may be able to get away with not driving on Sundays. ---

My answer is really how many days ON AVERAGE. We live in NYC, take public transportation everywhere, and only drive if we are going to be out of the city on vacation (or sometimes if I’m on a business trip). In a month, maybe four or five days, which would average to one a week, but most weeks I don’t drive at all. ---

Usually 7 although I do try to take one day a week off and stay home. ---

Six. I try to stay home at least one day of the week. I drive to school and work M-F and across town for my daughters therapies twice a week. ---

0.25. Since moving to a country town (Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia), I can walk nearly everywhere including shops, meetings and work. Or to the train if I want to go to Melbourne or the other city in range, Bendigo. So 0.25, because once a month I drive to stay capable of doing so! I do go places with other people though - such as bushwalking or birdwatching, but I’m not the driver. ---

Cant believe I didn’t include a zero option. I’m a sad panda. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-days-a-week-do-you-drive/617533.md?page=2)
