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?

Yes, I think you should. I also don’t have a drivers license. I am working on changing that, but later in life and with a stressful job…it’s very easy to put off. Ride sharing apps, biking and living in a city with good public transport makes it not a major deal day to day. However, when it is an issue it’s a big one and I end up feeling like a burden on those who can drive. If you have time in your life to do it now, do it. You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
