I'm car free but have no intention of becoming license free. I want to guard against an important reason to drive a car NOW. As it stands I could go rent a car and be on the road to a place in the middle of nowhere in a short time. I might go on a business trip to a place where I need a car. Or I might come to the aid of a family member in need for example. It's convenient identification and inexpensive insurance should I need it.
