My family keeps pressuring me to learn how to drive. I still say no, and will keep doing so for the rest of my life basically. I seriously do not wanna contribute to pollution and congestion.

In my country you're expected to know how to drive as early as 15, way before you even get your permit. I say fuck that.

I mean, you could learn how to drive but then never actually drive just to get them off your back. Besides, there is a chance you could be in a situation where you need to drive.

Plus, driver's licenses are the most commonly accepted form of ID.

In a situation like this, I likely would've forgotten how to drive regardless since I never do it, and who knows what kind of disaster is waiting to happen in this case?

Also, I could just use my passport or my actual ID card.
