Driving is no walk in the park, thousands die every year in accidents. It's completely rational to consider the risks before doing anything that could potentially cost you your life. Evaluating risk is actually a better "life skill" if you ask me than driving. I'd even argue driving itself is not even in any way shape or form a "life skill" necessary to living anyway, since there are plenty of people who live their whole lives without ever getting behind the wheel, and yet live very successful lives at that. Whatever a "life skill" even is. You act like I cannot even function in life just because I can comprehend that driving is a risk to think about. That not enjoying driving is the same as being unable to lift a spoon to my mouth or load a washing machine. It's just silly.
