People that choose not to drive!

[BEATDOWNS]

I was a bit late to the party and didn't get my full drivers license until i was 25 but there are people who never get it. I have always been curious to what makes them decide this. I know a guy around 40 yrs old and he's never driven a car one time. Any Sherdoggers that don't drive care to chime in?

edit: to be clear this is not intended to shame anyone it's a personal choice just curious is all.

Had a licence since I was 17. Am 40 and can count on one hand how many times I've driven in the last decade.

Some people were born to drive, some people were born to be driven.


Probably going to start driving more regular soon, though.

This.COVID thing has been terrible. With the economic downturn I might have let my driver go. I think I still remember how to drive though.

 

[kuroro]

tried to go my whole life without doing it but was eventually forced to due to circumstances and the fact that public transportation becomes more and more worthless every year

 

[Cole train]

Some want to drive cars some dont

Depends on need really

 

[AZ103]

Id rather ride my bike but people are killed fairly frequently and we live in the cell phone era

A buddy of mine dated a 27 year old that didn't drive and she lives in L.A. and works in Orange County, what a pain in the ass.

Why did you try not to? I would feel completely trapped if I couldn't.

Friend of mine didn't pass her test till she was in her late 20s, I could never understand it.

I drove the same guy to work for years at two different jobs, he had a drivers license..

My wife passed her test in 1983 then never drove. She's in the process of getting her licence updated currently so she can possibly drive in the UK.

My 16 year old will start lessons in 2021 as he wants to learn.

My 19 year old has no interest in driving as she worries that she would space out when driving and cause an accident.

I passed my test then never drove for 5 years... I'm the only driver in the family .

the stakes are too fucking high. you're always two seconds away from getting into an accident or breaking the law, and nobody else on the road cares about anything but getting to their destination as fast as possible, regardless of how trivial their errand is. in america you can get ticketed for going the speed limit in the cruising lane for obstructing traffic. that's how insane people are here.

if things are close and public transportation is good, you can get around just as fast, even if it requires a little more planning.

The thought of having to wait for buses etc when its pissing down with rain or freezing cold. No thanks, I need a car and got my license at 18.

You can get a ticket for sitting in the passing lane in pretty much any country with traffic enforcement. It’s not safe.

Seems to be the big hipster thing of the last 5-10 years. Guess it makes affording that $1,900/month basement-apartment downtown easier.

Its one thing to not choose to drive, but to not have your license is just a shame, its prob the easiest goto for government ID, what are you gonna do at the liquor store when they check? Pull out a passport or birth certificate?

I'm coming across more people who don't have a license at all, weird. My old man always taught me growing up that you can't always rely on others especially a government; If you have an emergency and are on your own, you should know how to do so in anything, including driving

 

[DC23]

Nothing better than driving your whip around without a care in the world. Music on. Sit back and enjoy.

Mines given me some great times and I’ll be sad when I have to let it go.

Depends where you live, I did get my license in my 20s just to do it but I take the train mostly
