People who refuse to learn how to drive a car, why?
M. 34
I'm currently studying for the theory and then the practice for the license and I hate it... But since I'm unemployed for like half a year now maybe it will give me more chances to get hired. Still I will avoid driving as much as possible, being on a highway scares me and I'm afraid of having an accident. Plus I wear glasses and I'm not sure if my reflexes or peripheral view are good enough...
So, what's your reason to not drive a car... money? For the environment? Are you afraid? You really don't need to?
I do have a license but refuse to drive. I guess the main reasons would be:
I get lost very easily and navigating while driving is much harder (no stopping, turning around etc)
You can't entirely zone out or use that time to do something else like reading so if it's a daily commute this is just lost time
Road infrastructure here is terrible. I actually find it much safer to drive at night because at least you can see the headlights of cars coming out of blind intersections
Just like there are (many) places you can't go without a car, there are also places you can't go with a car because there is no parking, mainly the city center, which is the place I visit the most
You also can't drive drunk and I kinda like drinking.
