I let my folks know that I'm getting rid of my drivers licence, because I don't plan on driving for at least the next 5 years.
My parents then said things like, "you're moving backwards in life", or "what will you do if you need to transport someone in an emergency?", to which I responded, "Taxi, or ambulance".
Am I a fool? Should I retain my licence for emergencies? I'm broke ATM, but should start working again soon, and my licence is expiring in a few weeks (and my wallet fell in a river a week ago, so I don't have the card anyways, not even kidding), so I'd rather not pay the $90 to keep it, if I don't have to.
What about you? Do you still keep a license handy for situations, or no? Is living car and license free possible in Canada?
I do think that if a family member were to drop unconscious, I would drive regardless, but not having the potential legal trouble afterwards is a nice thing to have, in case the cops got involved or something.
