As a student in a relatively large-ish city, I’ve been doing fine with public transportation. I’m not particularly interested in driving because of (no particular order):
- environmental impact (in part mitigated by EVs)
- ‘severe’ ADHD; I would never be relaxed driving
- safety; I don’t trust other drivers to follow the rules properly
Should I still get a driver’s license sooner than later?
What city do you live in? Do you ever travel interstate in the US? I don’t know many US cities that have adequate enough public transit to really thrive without a drivers license, but if you were living out of country or specifically NYC then no duh, I wouldn’t drive either.
