I don't have a driver's license due to the fact that my visual disabilities and having epilepsy don't permit it.

I don't have one, and I won't be getting one if it's up to me. Who knows though... (21 here)

I make deliveries from a 20,000 lb truck (gross weight), so, yeah :-) I was carless for over 2 1/2 years, relying on taxis, walking and since last year, bikes. I bought a new car last week, but it will be for things bigger than a backpack, or trips farther than I want to bike.

Short answer YES.

Bit it begs the questions ---- Why do you ask? and How is this relevant to anything here?

I guess so. Didn't notice that someone woke up a zombie.

Yes, and it's an extravagance given how little I drive. About the only time I ever drive with just myself in the car is when I go on a business trip. Other than that, I could just let it expire and let my wife drive when we go somewhere together in the car.
