Is it normal that im 23 and can't drive?

You must be Sheldon Cooper

well my best advice besides pratice, is when you take the test, normally the driving part is with your car, make sure its a smaller car so the "parrael parking" part is easier

its ok to be nervous or scared. once you learn, and have your license for a while, it will be a lot better and you wont feel this way anymore.

I didn't get mine until 26, my mom let me drive because she was drunk. it was when I was 11!! and a little girl jumped in front of the car and instead of hitting her I drove off the road which was a giant hill and was teetering over the neighbors garage! it took me a long time to get over it I still don't like driving on the highway, but if I really have to I will. I hope this helps you. just believe in yourself, you'll get there ;)

I lack the confidence to drive

i have a sister-in-law who is a few years older than you that has yet to get her license. although, what she is afraid of is the testing part. So, I don't think it's "normal", but you are definitely not alone.

I think you should know how, in case of emergency, but I don't blame you. I drove to work for 40 years, and recently got my senior Metro pass. I pay $14 a month and save tons of money on gas and car maintenance, not to mention the stress.

I have my license, but hate driving, and only do it if I know I absolutely have to. I'd much rather be a passenger.

Maybe you can take a driving class, and they can help you get over your nerves a bit. I think you'll be fine.

Got mine at 21 after 3 tries.

I'm 21 and I just got mine (after the 5th try over 3 years and 2 different states), same deal I didn't want to bother my parents, and driving makes me extremely nervous, so I rarely had practice. I only got the license because we live almost in the middle of nowhere now, but I haven't driven since

I'm slightly younger than you and I don't have my license. I didn't get my license because I have some phobias and some "health issues" that could become a problem if I started driving. For awhile, I got a lot of crap from my family members. They didn't stop pestering me until I practically had to scream at them to shut the fuck up:/ I also had a friend to treat me very strangely when she found out that I didn't have my license and that I didn't plan to get it anytime soon. She is one of those people who believe that the ONLY way a person can travel is by car. She was surprised when I told her about buses, walking, using a bicycle...

I think its normal. One solution would be to move to Europe, like England, where there isn't much focus on car travel.

I passed the driving test when i was 26.

I drove a car for about 90 seconds once when I was 17, but that's been my whole experience. It's most likely different in my country but not driving isn't a major problem in cities here. They weren't designed for mass transit or pedestrianisation but we've made them work that way. You can come and move here, if you like. :)
