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.
Comment on Gen Z is choosing not to drive

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.

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.

Another gen-z here, yeah I have no interest in something that requires me to pay insurance even if I’m not using it when my ebike gets me everywhere I need to go. Not to mention having way less potential to hurt someone else because of a lapse of attention on the roads. Add on the environmental benefits and that I don’t pay for electricity in my house so it’s free to fuel.

One of my kids is saying similar. While I respect and support that choice, we’re in the US so that seriously limits the places you can live. I keep saying he really needs to learn how to drive while I’m helping him get started in life, then see if he can figure out a life without a car

My parents did the same thing for me. They made sure I could drive then encouraged me to take the bus. That way I would never be stuck.

I am also committed to not learning things, and am very proud of that!
