Am I dumb because I dont drive?

I am terrified to drive, I have saved money to get my licence but procrastinating because of my fear. Lol help,im 27 going on 28 and everyone in my family nd bfs family much younger than me drive. Everytime we together my bfs family always pick on it and I hate it

Not at all :) My uncle didn't start driving til he was in his 40's and he's a great driver. His son got his license at 16 and is terrible even now he's in his 20's 馃槅

There's no point in rushing yourself. Good luck with it :)

Its not dumb but it is irrational. I'll probably get sht for this, try a driving simulator game. I do mean put some hours in, not just 'oh I can't do this silly thing'. Really learn how drive mentally. Pilots use simulators, astronauts use simulators, use a simulator, build your confidence.
Sorry @SW-User just keeping the conversation; flow. Didn't mean to direct it at you, just posting below the comment to keep it easy to read.

No offence intended Man.

@BoobooSnafu it's not a problem at all. 馃檪 There's certainly no need to say "sorry". Everything is cool.

@SW-User wow..Okay! I guess i didn't know that. Thanks I guess.
Don't let the stirrers get to you. i had a phobia of driving. Took me three tries to get it. the last try took about three years in total.
But I got it - I was late 30's (god that sounds a little embarrassing馃槴)
the next year i got my bike licence - no looking back - i love it.

It's not easy I know. - First driving lesson - I only started the engine, broke into a sweat and threw up !!!馃槅

Most people here in Korea don't really have drivers license since we use public transport.

I don't think that driving a vehicle should factors in determining your mental capabilities. So no your are not dumb. May be for ask that you can call yourself dumb..joking. I have a friend who is also really afraid of driving and I guess u should give it a shot and find out if it's really some sort of phobia or you are just being paranoid which is totally understandable.

Just find a calm and patient driving instructor. Once you start it will get easier every time.

It's not necessary to drive, and you'll be saving about $700 a month more than your friends.

You're not. Most drivers are dumb. It explains car accidents stats.
