And can't your niece take the bus?
And will your brother pay your gas?
When I was in St. Louis, I met a woman who didn't drive, but kept her deceased husband's car registered and insured so family members could give her rides.
But, in this case, my mother is quite independent, and still driving.
So, taking her car to use as my own wouldn't go over well.
When I was non-driving, I chose not to impose my needs on others... I.E. no substituting someone else's vehicle for my own.
