I am also nearing 40 and have never owned a car, although I do have my license. Some people just can't get heads around me preferring to use public transport.

My having my license is one of my gripes with cars. I absolutely suck at driving. When I was driving, people in my the passenger seat would pre-emptively grab the oh-shit handle as soon as I turned the key (younger folk: you used to have to turn a key to start the engine). The test was pretty much just circling a block, so I passed on my first try, which earned me decades of renewals with no retests to make sure I'm still capable of driving. Speaking of retests, had I somehow fucked up circling the block somehow, I would have had as many retests as I wanted to earn the same privilege.
