This is simply not the case in a lot of places. My wife & I are 31 and 32 years old respectively and neither of us has a driver's license. My mother in law (68 years old) has a driver's license and haven't driven even once since taking the exam. Of all my friends in Berlin & Vienna I can think of only a couple that own a car & I'm pretty sure most don't have a driver's license either. This is not unusual for a large % of the population of western europe and the east asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc).
