Why would you want to surrender your right to drive?
Yes, very true. But you can’t get both a citizen ID and a Driver’s License at the same time, that’s forbidden by the DMV, at least down here in south Mississippi.
Believe me, I tried exactly that after I lost my driver’s license once, they refused to issue me a non-driver citizen ID, as I was still a registered driver, so they just reprinted my last driver’s license instead, despite my request for a non-driver ID.
I’m not sure where you are, but I’d guess 95% of people’s ID cards down this way are driver’s licenses, not pedestrian IDs.

It would have been cheaper to get a non-driver ID as I didn’t have a car anymore at the time.

Beer costs half as much as a candybar or a soda here, so are you sure about that?
$1.70 for 32 ounce beer here. Hell, that’s even cheaper than 32 ounces of bottled filtered water.

It cost me like $180? I don’t remember exactly, and I know not everyone can afford that, but it is a relatively cheap expense for something that lasts a long time and acts as official identification literally all over the world.

$180 for the actual passport with the pages. Passport card is only $30 + $35 processing fee so total is $65
