This is simply not the case in a lot of places. My wife &amp; I are 31 and 32 years old respectively and neither of us has a driver&#x27;s license. My mother in law (68 years old) has a driver&#x27;s license and haven&#x27;t driven even once since taking the exam.<p>Of all my friends in Berlin &amp; Vienna I can think of only a couple that own a car &amp; I&#x27;m pretty sure most don&#x27;t have a driver&#x27;s license either.<p>This is not unusual for a large % of the population of western europe and the east asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc).
