I let my folks know that I’m getting rid of my drivers licence, because I don’t plan on driving for at least the next 5 years.
My parents then said things like, “you’re moving backwards in life”, or “what will you do if you need to transport someone in an emergency?”, to which I responded, “Taxi, or ambulance”.
Am I a fool? Should I retain my licence for emergencies? I’m broke ATM, but should start working again soon, and my licence is expiring in a few weeks (and my wallet fell in a river a week ago, so I don’t have the card anyways, not even kidding), so I’d rather not pay the $90 to keep it, if I don’t have to.
What about you? Do you still keep a license handy for situations, or no? Is living car and license free possible in Canada?
excuse my curiosity but why do you have to pay to “keep your license”?
Renewal, it expires after a certain time, I think 5 years where I live, Ontario.
