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 don't need to, I have to much to learn with Uni already, and anyways taking public transit is more convenient in Santiago.

Apologies in advance, I'm not exactly your target audience:

I can drive just about anything short of a semi-truck (when I have to drive a car, it's usually an old manual Subaru), but I still refuse to drive whenever possible: Partly for environmental reasons, partly for financial reasons, and partly because I would much rather ride my ebike or my bicycle instead.

...my grandmother never drove in ninety-one years after suffering a siezure in her youth; now i work with a girl who does likewise...
