If it’s too expensive to get a drivers license then it’s probably too expensive to go on a night out too. Also are there other options for ID? Eg in UK, Austra

No. In my country there is a requirement to have a certain amount of training with a professional driving instructor. For most people here the cost of that will amount to about $3000 USD. And it takes a lot of time too. Just because I don’t have $3000 USD to shell out for that currently, nor the time for those lessons and self-study, does not mean I cannot afford to go to a restaurant. > are there other options for ID? Yes there are other options, but I have no use for a National ID card really when I already have a passport. Having to show ID only happens in two cases for me most of the time: - border control when I am traveling, in which case my passport is required anyways in many countries - retrieving packages that were too big to be delivered in my mail box. And even then most times I don’t have to show ID It also used to be the case that I had to show ID when buying alcohol and tobacco. But being 32 years old now I usually don’t get asked for ID in the store in my country anymore.
