Not everybody is cut out to drive (i.e. to operate dangerous heavy machinery in a fast-changing environment with others depending on you handling the situation correctly). The problem is when we structure our societies requiring everyone to do so to participate.

requiring everyone to do so to participate.

Bus, taxi, bike, walk, whatever.

I vehemently disagree that everyone has a 'right' to have a license, as so many argue.

They never said that everybody has a right to drive. The reality is that, at least in the US and similarly planned countries, cars are priced like a luxury and treated like a necessity by the powers that be. Anything that isn't driving a car is an afterthought.

That infrastructure is majorly lacking if you live in the US.
