A great deal depends upon where you live and your circumstances. Until a few years ago I worked 6 days a week in some W Yorkshire towns, commuting from the Settle area. The commute from home to the Keighley side of Skipton was always enjoyable, even in my old Transporter. Drystone walls, sheep, views of Pendle, and views of Ingleboro on the way home... at least in daylight hours!
Returning from Lpool airport Monday evening recently was horrendous. M62,M6, M65 busy busy busy. But I suppose needs must if your job so dictates.
Nowadays I prefer the train to get into cities, but there are glorious driving roads all around me. Up to Ribblehead, across to Hawes, over the Buttertubs to Keld, and on to Tan Hill, the Howgills, Dentdale, Swaledale and all on my doorstep.
Lots of driving pleasure to be had there. And I don't take it for granted.
