The 20th March marks International Day of Happiness, a day dedicated to recognising the importance of happiness in our lives and everything that contributes to our overall wellbeing. There is no doubt that driving has a positive impact on our mood and wellbeing – the feeling of freedom, deciding where to go and simple enjoyment of being on the open road all contribute to a feeling of joy.
Does driving make us happier?
Driving gives people the freedom to travel anywhere at any time, giving a sense of independence to those who enjoy it [1]. However, driving can go beyond improving personal happiness, it can also benefit the lives of others by improving their wellbeing. Owning a car and being able to drive opens opportunities to help those around you – whether it’s helping with trips to the supermarket, getting people to their medical appointments or offering a ride home from a social event.
Mental health expert, Raf Hamazia said “Having a reliable and sustainable vehicle aids wellbeing by supporting people in doing what they want to do, as well as maintaining contact with friends and loved ones.” [2]
