When I told an American that I did not have a driver's license, he said, "Are you an illegal alien? I am a permanent resident of the US. When I applied for a job at a Japanese company and told them that I did not have a driver's license, I was repeatedly asked why I did not have a driver's license ?. I live in Tokyo, Japan, and I don't have a parking space, and I just never thought about getting a driver's license.

Do you feel any inconvenience living in Los Angeles?

If you live in a Japanese city and public transportation is well developed, you may not need to have it, but
The only public transportation you can use in Los Angeles is bus and metro
If you can make it within walking distance, you will not feel inconvenience.

In America, and in California, it's no wonder that people think you are either homeless or illigal. In Japan, I can understand that, but here, people who don't have a driver's license may not want to be friends. Sorry.

> I am a permanent resident of the USA

So you have a green card. If so, please carry it with you at all times and display it when necessary.

Also, the California Department of Motor Vehicles CA DMV will issue a READ ID card to those without a driver's license as proof of residency in the state of Ca. Always carry this card with you and show it when necessary as proof of legal residency.

Always carry one of these with you and display it when necessary or you will be pulled over by the police.

You are still the same 、、、、

California law does not require proof of identity if it is not clearly a crime
which means if you suddenly ask someone waiting at a bus stop to show you their ID, you will lose in court
You don't even know that.

if you say you don't have a license here, people will think you got caught for a DUI
what would you think if your friend said he didn't have a cell phone ? I'd say the same thing

Laws have changed ?
Meki used to get pulled over and not sit down ?
Japanese who dressed like that when they were students because they admired R&B students
who were mistaken for Meki and pulled over in the middle of the night
not just because Japanese people look serious ? but also because they can't be stopped .

I can't use Uber and the like because I feel sick.

Many people use the train to commute between Santa Monica and the Downtown LA area. The train station is right in front of the condo or office where I live, so I don't have to worry about parking or traffic. If you live in rural Torrance or OC, a car is a must.

Like the first thing I did when I came to LA was to get a driver's license.
There are many people who don't have their own car for financial reasons, but
I don't hear many people who don't have a driver's license.
If you are going to stay here forever, I think it would be better to get a driver's license and live in a car so you can move around more and feel more freedom.

It is up to the individual whether or not they have a car license, but for those who do, it would seem that they would be incredibly inconvenienced. This is inevitable. Because transportation here is not as developed as in Tokyo, many people inevitably choose to get a driver's license and drive a car. They think, "Oh ? why don't you have a driver's license ?? And since many people know that illegal aliens cannot get a driver's license because they do not have a social security card that they must show to get a driver's license, the question becomes, "Are you an illegal alien?" or, in employment interviews, "Why don't you have a driver's license? = They ask about the situation over and over again because they wonder if they can give the job to someone ) who is time-constrained. ( But you just have to explain to them and convince them )

that no matter what they think, if they don't need a license, they don't have to get one, and they know that that's how people think ~ about them, so whether they drive or not, they should just keep their license. I think it is also possible. And a license is not a hindrance to have.

People are free to drive with or without a license. It is not compulsory. ? There were some Americans who didn't get a license because they didn't like to drive.
There are poor students who can't afford to buy a car even if they have a license 、 You can get a license even if you are illegal, so how about saying that those who don't have a license are illegal ?
I have a license, but I have witnessed many major accidents 、 and no matter how careful I am when driving I stopped driving because I was scared because there are so many insane crazy drivers out there, but it's not that inconvenient in life. There are plenty of legs to go around. Exchange agencies 、 uber 、 ask a friend to drive you out.
When I was driving, I had trouble finding a parking space when I went to an event or something, and I got into all kinds of trouble with my car.
With or without a car 、 With or without a license is up to the individual.
Each person has his or her own reasons. 、 People who say "Why don't you have a driver's license?
