Aside from a few major cities, you HAVE to drive here. Not having a license would devastate most people in the US because they simply wouldn't be able to get around whatsoever.

Here, not so much.<br><br>It would be different if we all had a choice & could either drive, walk or take public transport to our destination, but most cant because this country was dumb & built everything around the automobile instead of around people.
