I feel so trapped without a driving license… can’t go anywhere…

I think everyone has a driver’s license at 16 here in the US, but I’m already over 18 with no license… :(

    21, both my grandmother, and an instructor.

    Before then I feasibly had no way to drive, so it was just an extra cost for no benefit. Family didn’t have a car at all when I was 16, and I didn’t get my first car until shortly before I got my license. I also just hate driving, it wigs my anxiety out. It’s still the only car I’ve ever owned, and I sold it about a year ago.

    I work from home, and only even borrow someone’s car or get a ride if I can’t get to a store on foot, which is one I only go to monthly. I’d still be borrowing a car if I could, though, I’m not sure I could carry 40 pounds of compressed sawdust home on foot. Even with that I likely won’t let the license expire, since it’s the same cost as an ID anyway.
