I'm 24 and I don't have a driver's license — should I get one? (lemmy.world)

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 have pretty severe ADHD too, and while I don’t enjoy driving like some people do, it’s not as scary as I thought and I’m not constantly getting into accidents or anything. Don’t let that be the thing that holds you back.

for me it all depends on where im at. back country road on a clear dry day with no one in front of me, im fine. on the highway in the middle of rush hour and im stressed af watching for all the idiots that seem to pick me to pull out in front of.
