[quote=Anonymous]Uber, mostly. It depends on where you live, too. I lived in Paris and neither I nor my friends needed to drive. We got our licenses at 19 or thereabouts, because we knew we would need it at some point, but most of us didn't drive after that until we left the city and settled elsewhere, where cars were more useful to our lifestyles. I didn't actually own a car until the birth of my first child. The USA is incredibly car-focused, because most places don't have good public transport, but this is changing, and with the advent of ride services like Uber and Lyft, there isn't as much pressure to be an independent driver as there used to. All this is a good thing, OP. At 16 you're apt to have poor judgement and make sometimes deadly impulsive decisions. A 16-year old brain isn't as mature as a 20-year old brain. So I would say that unless you live somewhere where you absolutely must learn to drive, it's perhaps a wise choice to wait. [/quote]
