As a student in a relatively large-ish city, I’ve been doing fine with public transportation. I’m not particularly interested in driving because of (no particular order):

  • environmental impact (in part mitigated by EVs)
  • ‘severe’ ADHD; I would never be relaxed driving
  • safety; I don’t trust other drivers to follow the rules properly

Should I still get a driver’s license sooner than later?

    The only reason would be if you plan on traveling to places that do not have the level of public transport you are used to and/or don’t have other options (e.g. taxi or uber) available - which is more places then you might expect. So, depending on how much and how far you plan on traveling, it may be worthwhile.
