Re: Priorities
The main reason I never learned to drive until I was in my mid-twenties was that I lived in London in my late teens and early twenties.
There was plenty of transport options in the West End, where I lived and worked. I never needed a car there - in fact, owning a car would have been more of a liability than an asset.
It wasn't until I moved into a rural northern area that I realised I would need to learn to drive and buy a car because I would never be able to travel to work without one - buses were like hen's teeth where I moved to.
