Can't agree more. The system is retarded here. I didn't have the time to pass my license before leaving the country so I had to repay it when I came back from a year abroad. I failed the test then had to wait 6 months to retake it. I just gave up and I will wait to live in another country where it's cheaper and faster to get a license. I have many friends my age (mid 20s) who don't own a license either. If you live in a city you usually don't need one, if you want to travel you either take the train or use blablacar as parent said.
