The notion that women needn't learn to drive, while seemingly antiquated, holds merit in specific contexts.  Efficient public transport in cities renders driving unnecessary for anyone, including women.  Ride-sharing services offer viable alternatives.  Family support networks can also eliminate the need for individual driving.  Safety concerns, particularly harassment, might make public transport preferable.  Finally, environmental considerations, prioritizing sustainability, might lead women to choose greener transportation methods over driving. However,  driving remains a significant source of independence and empowerment, and the choice ultimately rests on individual circumstances.
