Half of my extended family don't drive. The general attitude we've grown up with is it is environmentally irresponsible unless there is a real reason (work, disability) that forces us. So we tend to choose to live near work or at least near public transport.
In my case, I also have a visual impairment so can't, but probably wouldn't anyway. I don't expect others to give me a lift, though it does make life difficult when people plan get-togethers quite unnecessarily in locations which require a car. Two swimming pools with same facilities, one within reach of public transport, and you insist we have to choose the other one because you like that one- and then it's my fault for not being able to get there without a lift.
My ds is learning atm, because the kind of job he might be looking for will probably require it. Dd is not, because there are far more important skills she should be spending her money on.
Dh's and I prefer walking holidays anyway, so not a problem.
Autofilled, if I'd lived in NZ I might have felt forced to blag my way through the eye test and go out on the roads. And as I have limited peripheral vision and very poor ability to judge distances (neither of which would be tested in an eye test) I might have ended up killing someone . Where would be the advantage of that?
My FIL did keep on driving with very similar issues. It was not a good thing. So did an elderly friend of ours. I was there when she nearly knocked a biker off his bike; it was hideous. And could easily have been me.
