Is it necessary to drive for 2 miles?

There are many reasons for a body driving a car .to save time or to display luxuryand or may be lazy.hehe.i think may be Bella wants to save time.in our university,10 minutes walk distance worthy driving a car to somebody becase of one of above three reasons.

sorry, i didnt watch Twilight..

but think about safety - it may seem such a waste to drive a short distance - and one probably could use the exercise (walking/jogging/cycling), but i would prefer to drive even a short distance, if i feel that it is safer to do so... i mean - it maybe a short distance, but is it safe to walk the whole way...?

perhaps salf is the big reason for her to drive 2 miles to go to school,for me,if the distance is only 2 miles, we would like to school on foot.or by bike,it is good for our health. but i'm not sure that i will walk lonely.good luck and have a nice day.

I think it is a cultural thing. Here in America if school was less than s mile away,the kids had to walk. But if school was more than a mile away,then you were either bused or your parents drive you to school.Why?Because in most cities,it isn't safe for kids to walk to school and we love our cars here.

hi youless I could not walk two miles as I have a brace on one leg and walking a couple of blocks just about does me in.two miles to my way of thinking when you are going to school could better be traversed by car, takes too much time unless you are a speed walker.

I think the weather in Forks might have something to do with it.

walking two miles each way in the rain is not something you'd do if you can drive

2 miles is like 3.2 kilometers... and i think that is a long way... back when i was still a student... we don't have a car... so we ride the jeep to go to school... and some even use a bicycle... or a tricycle... good thing there are a lot of public transportation available in my area... but for sure some students are not that lucky...

2 mile is equal 3.2 kilometers, 6.4 km to walk per day...
I love walking, but 6.4km (4 miles) per day is way to much. On average, women walk at 3 miles per hour....walking for pleasure and walking to and from school or work is total difference.
I think that 1 mile distance (1.6 km) is great for walking.
I would add the safety issue and weather condition as well...and making it on time...
I do walk more then 3 miles per day, but when I walk my dogs I don't have to be anywhere on time...it makes a big difference...

I probably would because it's 3 miles from where I live to town. I always drive whenever I go to town. It might depend on the traffic situation where Bella lives, though. It would also depend on the crime situation where she lives, too. There has been so much meanness here in the states in the last few years until it's not safe for kids ot walk to and from school any more. For example, a little girl was found dead in Orange Park, Florida here lately because her mother let her walk home from school. She wasn't walking by herself, though. According to my local newspaper, she got in a fuss with one of her siblings and she walked on ahead of them and she hadn't been heard from or seen since. Her body has been found but they haven't found her killer yet. It's so sad! I hope I didn't upset you by brining this up but that's just the way it is around here. Kathy.

I live in WA, where it rains about 9 months out of the year. Forks, which is directly on the coast, has even more rain and mist. There are plenty of times I will take the bus or drive for 1/2 a mile just to avoid getting soaked.
