Last night I was talking to a man who was completely shocked, I’d say almost appalled, that I was 22 and didn’t drive. I bit my tongue before I pointed out that he was 31, jobless and lived with his folks… sometimes peoples priorities really amaze me.
Getting my licence has been something that really hasn’t been very important to me before. I concentrated on getting on my feet, becoming independant both financially and emotionally and concentrated on furthuring my education… where does learning to drive fit into all that?
Plus We have pretty good public transport here in Melbourne, it’s bad for the environment and I get quite nervous in cars, so whats the point?
Having said this, I do believe I should get my licence so I have the option to drive. I just must not let myself become the type of person who relies on their car all the time.
