Why don't some people want to learn to drive? they need to.

I mean who doesn't wanna learn to drive? The power, the independence and....you don't have to depend on people to take you places or depend on transportation.
My best friend doesn't wanna learn to drive. She has been wanting to learn to drive for a long time and NOW she doesn't want to? What?! I'm confused. I was like, "You've been WANTING to learn to drive for a long time but now you wanna back down on that? You're such a coward. You can't depend on your parents or public transportation anymore. Our parents are getting older." My got my permit and I've been taking driving lessons. I tried to convince her to join me but she refuses. My guy friend told her she will regret it. Who wants to be 30 and don't know how to drive. People 30 and after that don't have their license are LAZY, unless they have a medical condition or a disability that effects that. My best friend is using autism as an excuse. I cut her off and said, "Stop using autism as an excuse. Stop that shit! We can learn. No excuses."

I only got my driver's license when I was 40. Okay, I did have a license for a motorcycle before but that is not the point here.

Everyone has their reasons for wanting to or not wanting to get their license. For me, it was a couple of things. Not having good friends to encourage me. My parents not even bothering. A string of bad driving instructors. A corrupt driving system and officials in my dangerous home country. Fear of failing?

Everything went smoothly when I got it two years ago. I got it in a different country. Safe, great teacher, pleasant test. Even though the public transport was excellent since leaving my home country, yeah there was a need to learn how to drive. I haven't driven since I got my license though because there's no need to and no way I can have a car here, but it's nice to have it.


Everyone learns and does things at their own pace.
