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?
If there is an emergency and they only thing preventing you from preventing human harm is that you don’t have a license, then fucking drive anyway. It doesn’t matter if it is legal or not.
if you dont have a license and never drove you may cause more harm than good? Driving is assumed to be easy because 16 years olds do it but everyone a pretty shitty driver til they get years of daily experience
Of course I would–I was just talking about legality.
I do think that if a family member were to drop unconscious, I would drive regardless, but not having the potential legal trouble afterwards is a nice thing to have, in case the cops got involved or something.
