There is no such thing as an "accident". The fact is, most people should not be trusted with automobiles. I felt this way before, and have only been proven right since.
I have often questioned the wisdom of allowing 15 or 16-year-olds to drive metal death contraptions, but I know that opinion wouldn't fly with most people, especially as someone who believes the voting age should be 16. But in a way, I am glad I never learned to drive if only because there's a lesser chance of me being alive otherwise. For all I know, just using Uber or Lyft might be cheaper anyway than owning an actual car and paying all the insurance fees.
(I do find motorcycle riding kind of cool, though.)
For people who live within five miles of their work, it's generally cheaper to not own an automobile. Insurance, parking, maintenance, it all adds up.
The personal automobile is an outdated model that never had a chance to truly shine.
Depends on where you live and what else you do. I live within five miles of my office (and am mostly WFH at this point anyway), but I'm in the suburbs, where there are few places I can walk to and where public transportation isn't really a thing. Plus, my church (where I am at least three times a week) is 25 minutes away by car. My lifestyle would not be remotely sustainable without a car.
