My answer was "I'm a school teacher, I can't afford a car."
When she stopped laughing, the superintendent said "well played."
Of course, I have used this reason here too:
You forgot the disabled. . . my disability is laziness. I am just too lazy to bother with shopping for a car, the DMV & inspection hassles . . . it just goes on. I find it easier (a more suitable accommodation) to ride my bicycle.
Of course it saves a lot of money too . . . dual disabled, Both lazy and cheap.

I really was about the throw in the towel and get a car; however, the ebike has allowed me to remain carfree.

You pay an annual fee and can check out a car. I'll join when I get rid of my car / live closer to a spot!
