Many millennials don’t drive
An aside but I’ve always found that turn of phrase bemusing. The right word is “can’t”, nobody says “I don’t swim” or “I don’t wire a plug”. It’s like people realise that it’s something they ought to be able to do and are deficient in it.
- pjc50 7y agoThere are also urban dwellers who can drive, hold a license, but don't own a car due to cost or space issues. Undoubtedly more common in Europe - lots of Londoners don't own cars because there's nowhere cheap to park at either end of a trip, the traffic is bad, and the public transport is usable.
- goatinaboat 7y agowho can drive, hold a license, but don't own a car due to cost or space issues. In my experience those people never use that phrase, they say “I don’t have a car”.
- matsemann 7y agoHuh, I got a license. Even inherited a car when I was 19. But I sold it, biking everywhere is faster and cheaper.
