People who refuse to learn how to drive a car, why?
M. 34
I'm currently studying for the theory and then the practice for the license and I hate it... But since I'm unemployed for like half a year now maybe it will give me more chances to get hired. Still I will avoid driving as much as possible, being on a highway scares me and I'm afraid of having an accident. Plus I wear glasses and I'm not sure if my reflexes or peripheral view are good enough...
So, what's your reason to not drive a car... money? For the environment? Are you afraid? You really don't need to?

I don't need to drive
Owning a car is stupidly expensive. And its an expense I don't need to pay.
Cars make people lazy and entitled and create divisions between them. When you're driving you're not around other people like you would be on public transit. They're bothered.
That's a very narrow view. It depends a lot on where you live and what interest you have.
You realize there are a lot of people that live and work and do stuff where it is practically impossible to cope without a car?
Driving does not automatically mean you want to avoid other people.
They literally explained their reason. There's no need to bring up other circumstances. Them not liking to drive will also lead to them avoid moving to places that they must drive. An activity that will take a significant amount of your life is going to be an important factor to decide where you move to.
Cars automatic make people disjointed from the people who live around them.
I rode the 16 bus in Denver for a while as my commute to work, and believe me I am so happy to be separated from those people.
99% of them were fine but the other ones … let’s just say they aren’t ever guests in my car.
My coworker has the same reasons except he has another coworker drive him to/from work so his reasoning is kinda sloppy there.
