I find it strange, and only because I am from an area where there is no public transportation or anything within reasonable walking distance. Now that I have moved to a bigger area (still doesn't have the greatest public transport) I understand why some people don't drive, I use to have very severe anxiety about driving in cities because I was in a bad car accident when I was 15 that took my grandmother's life. I really didn't have the option to not learn to drive because of the rural status though. If I had, had access to public transport it may have been another story. I am actually friends with someone that doesn't have his license either and it doesn't make him any less motivated however it does sometime impare his ability to get a job.
