[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, it's a life skill if you want to travel anywhere off the beaten path, which I hope my kids will also do. So I'll push them to have it before they leave HS. Even if they rarely drive after that. Of all my friends who grew up in the city (I'm from outside NY) only 1 was the typical "I grew up in the city, we don't learn to drive" examples by late teens. Eschewing learning to drive as some sort of urban cred is as stupid as painting learning to drive as a massive rite of passage, Americana blah blah blah thing. It's a skill, you might need it, just learn it.[/quote]
My sister lives in a town in NJ. One of her neighbors lived in the City before moving to Jersey. She must have that same urban cred of not needing to learn to drive because she lives in the City.

Yeah - that might have worked for her when living in the city but she moved out to Jersey and still doesn’t know how to drive. She is always asking neighbors for rides to her kid’s activities.

Driving is a life skill. Everyone needs to learn it.[/quote]
