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?
My (now dead, hit by a truck) hs english teacher was a biker, rode a different bike to school like an hour anothe town away daily in california in the central valley (not built for bikes farm roads, hella cars), he still had a car and drove it sometimes like across the city to get food lol
