It&#x27;s still a thing these days. For years I was pressured into getting a driving permit but hated the roads so delayed it. Just got it, it was exciting for a month (mastering the physics of the vehicle mostly), now I&#x27;m free to .. get food at the mall [2]. I tell this to people, and they&#x27;re &quot;NOoooo you&#x27;re independent, you can do anything&quot; with shiny eyes.<p>[1] angry drivers, jam, not green, enjoyed walking, running, biking..<p>[2] also it&#x27;s incredibly stressful to me. I&#x27;m constantly checking everything (and that doesn&#x27;t even save from bumping into cars because I can&#x27;t scan 360deg in parallel).
