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?
I don’t know where op is from, but at least in Sweden you just get a “national ID”. Same shape as a driver’s license, works all over the EU, none of the pesky driving and the passport stays safely at home until it’s time to travel out of the EU.
