Fair enough, and wise if you don't trust yourself to handle a car. I have a friend who took a similar decision.
It's like this: I have "tunnel brain," I like to work pretty much on autopilot so I can turn my attention inward to my train of thought.
If I drove, I couldn't do that; I'd be subjected to a never-ending stream of new information, which I would have to absorb and react to within split seconds.
I think I'd find it jarring and nerve-wracking, and very likely I would
spaz! and step on the gas instead of the brake, or make some other stupid mistake,
because the information was coming in too fast to be assimilated into my brain. I actually handled a car very well when I took driving lessons at 18,
but the driving instructor was an older man, somewhat lazy, who took us mostly on quiet suburban streets.
