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?

    That’s a very narrow view. It depends a lot on where you live and what interest you have.

    You realize there are a lot of people that live and work and do stuff where it is practically impossible to cope without a car?

    Driving does not automatically mean you want to avoid other people.

      I don’t need to drive

      They literally explained their reason. There’s no need to bring up other circumstances. Them not liking to drive will also lead to them avoid moving to places that they must drive. An activity that will take a significant amount of your life is going to be an important factor to decide where you move to.

      Cars automatic make people disjointed from the people who live around them.
