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 currently live in the very definition of downtown in my city. There’s no parking spaces and nothing. Everything is within 10min walk. But I still value my driver’s license since I can rent a moving van when I move apartment or if I need to get some new furniture in IKEA.

    Having a driver’s license opens up opportunities even though you don’t have a car. I’d say go for it if you want to spend the money.
