My mom doesn’t drive and never has. She grew up in a poor family in an area that had good public transportation. The family didn’t own a car so she had no reason to learn how to drive and no easy access to a car if she had wanted to learn. When she married and moved to an area where a car was needed, my father just drove her around when she needed it. After he died, she relied on a mix of friends, family, taxis, and a senior ride service that her town runs through the senior center. She did try to learn a couple times as an adult but it gave her anxiety attacks and she gave up.
