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'm 36 in Sweden. I never got one, I've never needed it. Public transport and an electric bike have worked perfectly. I don't like the idea of driving. Owning a car is expensive and stressful. I also have ADHD.
