People who refuse to learn how to drive a car, why? (lemm.ee)

I'm currently studying for the theory and then the practice for the license and I hate it... But since I'm unemployed for like half a year now maybe it will give me more chances to get hired. Still I will avoid driving as much as possible, being on a highway scares me and I'm afraid of having an accident. Plus I wear glasses and I'm not sure if my reflexes or peripheral view are good enough...

So, what's your reason to not drive a car... money? For the environment? Are you afraid? You really don't need to?

I really don't need to but I frame it the other way round to your question, I've never needed to, so I don't need a reason to not drive a car, I'm lacking a reason to.

Yeah this pretty much. Why would I drive a car? it's a huge waste of money for absolutely no benefit to my life.

I've considered learning/getting my licence just to have it "just in case", that way at least if that once every few years thing comes up where I absolutely need a car and a taxi just won't cut it, I can hire one or something? but it's just kind of not come up yet.
