As a student in a relatively large-ish city, I’ve been doing fine with public transportation. I’m not particularly interested in driving because of (no particular order):

  • environmental impact (in part mitigated by EVs)
  • ‘severe’ ADHD; I would never be relaxed driving
  • safety; I don’t trust other drivers to follow the rules properly

Should I still get a driver’s license sooner than later?

    I have pretty severe ADHD too, and while I don’t enjoy driving like some people do, it’s not as scary as I thought and I’m not constantly getting into accidents or anything. Don’t let that be the thing that holds you back.
