I am wondering why so many people think a 35 yr old man not wanting to drive is weird?

snowmom asked:


I have a son who chooses not to drive a car, first because of all the expence, second the responsibility and lastly he really doesn’t want to. He has a slight learning disability he is a hard worker and does well if he can learn his position in his way of learning. At the moment he is unemployed and finding it difficult to find a job, so many want you to have a valid drivers license. He endures a lot of guff and ridicule for choosing not to drive, which I think is unfair. I respect him for knowing his limitations and making sure he isn’t going to harm others, wrongly by driving just to stop the GUFF.

    I just finnished a roll for a movie about a 35 year old man who doesn’t have his driver’s licence yet, it was produced by the producers of Napolion Dynamite. Dude that’s cool.

    ppl pick on what doesn’t fit the “norm” then again society is all messed up so don’t take it seriously. don’t let words break you.

    i am a 38 year old woman who chooses not to drive. yes, i too hear alot about it. i also own my own business thaty requires driving. all i do is hire some one to drive the deliveries. simple, i dont pay the extremely high insurance and car rates, the crazy gas prices or the chance of getting into another accident. brush off what people say and tell your son to ignore any comments. we are the smarter ones.

    If your son seriously has a learning disability that makes it difficult or unsafe to drive then an employer should understand that. They do not, however, have to hire him since many jobs do require a valid drivers license.
    Now, on the other hand, these people who are high and mighty because they “choose not to drive”, that’s just stupid. It’s one thing if you live in the city where it is acceptable not to have a car and ride public transportation, actually I commend people for doing this. But to just “choose” not to drive and inconvenience your friends, family and employer is just stubbornness.
