Why don’t you get a car? You’ll have your own freedom.

You won’t get anywhere in life without a drivers license. You can go anywhere you want.

What if I just don’t want to? I don’t need to be behind the wheel to succeed.

Do I really have to do? I think it’s better for my mental health

For me to keep on walking.

I don’t see myself in a drivers seat. If I am lethal on a bumper car

Or a disaster on Mario Kart, how am I expected to cope in a real car?

I just don’t want to drive: It’s expensive

And the law punishes you If you’re a bad driver.

Lessons would be a waste of time and money because it’s just something I’m not interested in.
