No car, no problem

I am 23 years of age and have gotten this far in life, living in a suburban area without a license. The reasons for this is by both choice and circumstance/health reasons, but even disregarding the reasons I'm forced in this situation, I already vehemently despise automobiles. Instead, I tend to opt for public or personal transportation, such as bikes and electric scooters.

The elephant in the room is the fact that I have been seeking medical guidance for a seizure disorder ever since 2021. In general, I have experienced seizures that involve complete or partial loss of motor control, but all myoclonic in nature up to this point. They happen every day, every hour, and I can't predict when. Then, for the past year, I have been experiencing a significant number of focal-onset, tonic-clonic seizures, causing me to completely abandon my current task and begin convulsing uncontrollably.

Both have posed issues even during scooter rides; the myoclonic twitches were enough for me to crash while riding my scooter during 2022, being unable to remove my thumb from the throttle and crashing into a ditch at one point. More recently, I was lucky enough to experience the onset of a full tonic-clonic fit while going 25mph on my scooter, down a sideroad at midnight. I had an "aura", and was able to pull over to the side of the road to act the seizure out before returning home safely.

However...

I don't understand what a car even has to offer me.

They are multi-thousand dollar, multi-year long liabilities that do nothing other than get you from point A to point B. That is to say, the entire function of a car can be sufficiently replicated with the legs I was born with. The appeal to them otherwise is just to get to places faster than walking, and the luxury or not having to walk.

I prefer walking in order to serve as a form of structure to keep me walking and outside for longer periods of time.

In other words, they inherently offer no useful functionality to me.

Let's take an overview of these points.

• I have medical issues that prevent me from getting, or practically upkeeping, a license.
• It is significantly cheaper not to have a car, and I do not have to worry about the endless cost of insurance. A bike or electric scooter, I can own outright and use for free, permanently.
• It is significantly safer to be a biker or pedestrian.
• I cannot reasonably anticipate the actions of others on the road, nor do I trust them to make predictable, logical choices. I also can't guarantee I will be consistent in making predictable, logical choices myself. I am the primary person you would complain about being on the road.
