...But you have to think of all the what if's in lives (IMO anyway).



If you happen to relocate due to work, a family situation, etc then you might end up somewhere where driving is a necessity.



I just think it's a good, basic skill to have for the future even if you live somewhere where public transportation is everywhere.
I fully agree. There are SO many "what-ifs" and emergencies. If you don't know how to drive you will be unprepared for a lot of the things that life throws at you. What do you guys do when you leave your big cities?? What will you do when you plan on having kids? What do you do when you have to carry a LOT of things, or really BIG things like mattresses, loads of groceries, things from Home Depot?? Does this mean that you guys don't go on weekend roadtrips with friends and such?

I'm sorry - I am just having a hard time understanding how SO many people choose not to drive. It's a completely foreign concept to me because  every able-bodied, non-mentally incapacitated person I know knows how to drive a car.

Even if one doesn't drive regularly and never owns a car, I still feel like one should learn how to drive. It's not difficult...hence why they teach it to FIFTEEN YEAR OLDS. Driving becomes second nature after a while..It's only hard the first few times behind the wheel.



Exactly what I was trying to say but you expressed it much better.

It does become second nature after a while. It's actually pretty relaxing for me at this point (and again I can get flustered very easily and I'm pretty clumsy). If I can do it, anybody else can.

I totally agree with you that its a good basic skill, and most people should learn to drive, just I won't. And I'm definitely not starting a campaign for "Driving Free America!" or something I personally know I will never relocate from my city too, I will always live here. If I didn't know that I might think a little differently I'm not sure though. For unfortunate reasons I just know I will never have a license,
