Drivers and non-drivers debate why people shame teenagers for not getting their license: ‘If public transportation was accessible, many people wouldn’t’

I got my driver’s license later in life. By that, I mean ten months after I turned 16. In the town I grew up in, that might as well have been later in life. I’ve never felt more social pressure to do something than get my driver’s license. Kids in my class were dumbfounded by …
