Disclaimer: I’m not from the US.

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?

    It might be easier to learn to drive while you’re young. And even if you don’t need a car, there’s still times you might want to do carsharing or rent a car for a short while. Or your situation might change and you might move to somewhere where public transport doesn’t stop near your place. I’d personally do it, but it’s entirely possible to live without, in your current situation.
