    Only issue I have is folks should have a driver’s licence, to be able to safely operate a car in an emergency or unexpected situation. Just to give you the option.

    I understand it would be rare to need to step in as driver if you committed to this lifestyle, but it would be better to be safer than sorry

      Do you mean safely operate a car, or legally operate a car? Learning the basics to safely operate a car is fairly straightforward and good fun, at least to a level that’s on par with a typical licensed driver. However going through the whole process to get a formal drivers license is a different matter and is often quite expensive.

        In many states you can train with a family member, and the application is 30-50 bucks. Not free, but you shouldn’t operate a car without a license.

        Colorado for example,

        Complete a written test, complete several hours supervised driving, eye test, driving test, pay.

        Could probably be done in a week then you’re legal
