As I have always driven a car, I go...-> Having always driven... / Alwyas driving ...

"As I have always driven a car, I go to school by my car."


If we change the subordinate clause into a present participle phrase,

will it be


1. Having always driven a car, I go to school by my car.

or

2. Always driving a car, I go to school by my car.?

#1, but note that the final phrase must be either 'by car' or 'in my car'.

"Having always driven a car ..." I'm sure philo missed that.

I won't be pedantic and point out that you didn't drive a car for the first 16/17 years of your life, but to avoid repetition I'd say

'Having always driven a car, I use it to go to school'.
