Because I keep failing these theory exams and I’m about to throw the towel. These laws, rules and stuff are so stupid and complicated to remember. Also this shit isn’t cheap to do and I don’t have a car anyways.

    Many jobs require a valid driver’s license even if not driving related or adjacent. Not having one is very restrictive and often precludes you from any kind of job where you may be expected to operate any kind of equipment or material handlers, even light lawn equipment, since if the government doesn’t trust you to operate a motor vehicle, why should the employer? From this perspective it is absolutely worth it.

    I’m assuming if the theory exam is that difficult you are NOT based in the US, as I’ve not known anyone to ever actually fail a knowledge test in the US (they are far too easy), its usually the practical. So maybe the customary requirements for jobs wanting a valid license are much different in wherever you are.

      The exceptions you list make sense. However in the general sense if someone requires a drivers license and you are not operating equipment you likely have a law suite against them for unreasonable requirements.

        Maybe in other locales, but lacking a drivers license is not a protected employment class in the US unless it is specifically due to a disability.
