Is driving worth it?

massive cope and sad fag

Depends on your individual situation, can you get around without a car? You don't need one, otherwise you do. Having a drivers license has some sort of societal status associated with it but to be really fair, if you don't need it you don't. Can help you get a job tho. I wouldn't do it for self improvement under any circumstances btw, there are better things to do.

>namefag
lol good one

driving is too scary desu

My parents drive me around, doesn't feel good man, i feel like a man child.

there was a guy in my driver's ed class who was 26 and his girlfriend was teaching him how to drive.

>deflection
typical for a pathetic fag that can't even drive and has to ask mummy for a lift to go to the animu shop

Worth it for wagies. Not for NEETs.

Get a bicycle. Live within 1 mile of a store / fast food area. That's my plan.
Err is there some reason this is a bad idea?

Yes. I'm 27 an I just got it

Original quote

well if you're a neet you have strictly limited choices about where to live, possibly down to no choice at all, so your plan might not work out for you.

if you do have a choice I for one would want to choose to live somewhere where neighbors and other people in general are as far away from me as is feasible. There's basically no way to avoid sharing walls with people in a city, and even in the suburbs things are pretty crowded, so that pretty much leaves places where you have to drive.

Getting a license isn't that bad, at least in the Land of the Free and Home of the Whopper. You get through driver's ed, which isn't that complicated (they're basically just trying to teach you to not be a jackass on the roads, with a mixed success rate), you pass a road test, and then that's pretty much it in most places. I had to get a new license because I moved to a different state last year, but they didn't give me another road test or anything, I just filled in some paperwork and surrendered my old license. It's valid for ten full years. It's my understanding that Euros are much more keen to give you tests and exams and in general find any excuse to deny you, in the US they're much more keen on letting you through.

I didn't get my license until 22 because I didn't give a fuck/was too lazy to get it at a normal age. My life is a million times better now that I can drive. People really start to judge you if you're in your 20s and still no license.

Tone, ill never pass a drug test

Vehicles are super expensive, annoying and dangerous. To get the license in the first place IS a social nightmare. No one is saying it is complicated. It's still a nightmare.
The "cmon its not that bad, driving is fun" mindset is only from perpetually optimistic boomers.
When not trying to convince you to drive, they complain non stop about road rage, getting cut off, construction, mechanical issues, so on.
Reminder that any moment on the road the guy in the opposite lane can instantly veer into you and kill you painfully.

I have a license, and where I use it its pretty comfy. Dirt roads with no traffic, small traffic in town.
Two lane crowded roads with assload of incoming traffic at night, driving in bad visual conditions, busy highway above 100 kph with tons of trucks, crowded large cities where you get honked for 1 second delay and there is absolutely no room for error - that is when driving sucks ass.
Also the upkeep of a car is not feasible without a stable income.

i'm sorry i have a hard time taking this seriously from someone who can't even give a lift to his date or bring home an object from wherever

or go anywhere after a certain hour at all

Driving is absolutely dreadful unless going really fast.

well note that I only claimed that getting or license isn't that bad, not that driving is fun. Driving isn't much fun, especially since most people drive like maniacs. though it do assert that driving is useful.

>give a lift to his date
ffs Yes if you're a normalfag wagie outside the city you have no choice. In a vacuum we could be on the same page tho. It sucks. I'm a neet I rather not.
It is bad when you think about it. You only say it's not complicated. You also leave out the whole part of learning in the first place.

>Yes if you're a normalfag wagie outside the city you have no choice. In a vacuum we could be on the same page tho. It sucks. I'm a neet I rather not.
I don't what you're saying, these are facts
what if i.e. your mom is really sick and the ambulance can't come?
what if you have to get away from home?
what if u decide for wahtever reason to get away with your belongings?

the ability to move fast and far on your own, and move objects and people is clearly superior to the inability to

then u can cope about costs, and effort, and whatnot but it's like arguing the ability to fly "is not worth it". It totally is

Been commuting daily to uni for 3 years. Never had an accident and other drivers are surprisingly competent despite not being forced to take any exam.

If you're 18 it's much simpler than if you're a 16 year old to acquire a license. Just go to the dmv, get their pamphlet and road rules thing that are free, go back, take a written test, then you get your permit thing which allows you to take the test at any time with a qualified driving assessor. bring it in, pay for your license, done.

Now owning and acquiring a car is fucking expensive unless you know how to do the work yourself, and even then there's insurance, maintanenece, gas, buying it in the first place, new tags, plates, all that shit. owning a car sucks, driving sucks, everything about it sucks but unfortunately i'm in a rural hell so it's basically a life requirement that I have self transport otherwise i'd just carry shit on my back.

Drivers Ed is a meme, people drive around like they walk around in a high school hall. Dodging, weaving, getting to where they need how they need.

Get comfortable with road signs and your right of way and you'll be fine. I think one of the largest questions asked is left at a green light. But ask me what is intimidating and I'll see if I can simplify the worry.

Overall after about a month of consistent driving (usually daily driving for work) you more than pickup on what is socially acceptable (and maybe not but people don't give a fuck) when driving.

you can cut down on the expense considerably if you buy a car based on what's cheap to run and maintain, instead of what looks good or is fun to drive.

"b-b-but what about these bizarre hypotheticals"
You serious bro

>it's like arguing the ability to fly "is not worth it"
My first comment literally said driving is worth it for wagies. I guess this is off track?
I'm a neet. I'd rather not. That's all.
And yes flying is also not worth it. I never have and can't imagine ever needing to.
No one ever has a positive airplane story.

>bizarre hypotheticals
they are not bizarre hypotethicals, it's just you're literally too delusional and fat to imagine ever needing them

fact is you are literally stuck in your fatfuck hikki room and you will never change it, your rotting corpse being eaten by bugs

this all out of sheer pride in your brainlet IQ of approx 85

Question, is it because the public transportation system there is good? And you can comfortably get by without it there?

Yes it is bizarre if ambulances suddenly do not exist
Well there comes the true point of your posts, just insults. K go die in a car crash normalfag. I don't care.

t.brainlet who is unable to perform basic tasks and will let his mum die out of sheer autism
