Your profile says you’re in the Netherlands, which is a completely different place. You may know this already but here in the US, even though driving is technically a “privilege”, in reality it is a requirement in most locales due to lack of consistent and reliable alternatives. That’s part of why getting a drivers license is fairly easy. It’s also why your “I’ll have my son shred my license after I turn 70” wouldn’t work unless you were living in a place like NYC or Chicago, or were totally okay with having little social life (dependent on your kids’ and friends’ ability and willingness to drive you to places).
