This "trucel trait" (like many others) also applies to me.
The reason is cost. I think I could drive and pass the tests. But getting the license costs even more than in Germany. Over 3000 euros (+ I would need to buy eye-glasses, which would cost maybe 500 (?) euros every 2 years). And if you fail tests, that adds to the costs every time. And I don't have money to buy and maintain a car, so I could not drive even if I had the license. But I could apply to more jobs if I had the licence. If I had gotten the license when I was 18 which is the minimum age, then I maybe could even have had a job. Can't apply in fact to many jobs if you don't have a licence. I don't live in a big city where there is good public transportation, metro etc. In order to get the license, you need to have a job to pay for it, but can't get employed without it. Many get their parents to pay it, but mine haven't done anything for my life/education/etc. because I am wasted investment, because I am so short and ugly-faced so they won't get grandchildren even if I had a good job and driver's licence.
