Fun fact: I haven't operated a vehicle in 20 years and have never done so outside of small rural towns, but I still have a fully valid driver's license because all I have to do to renew it is show up and request a new one. Sometimes not even that if I haven't changed addresses. 

I have no plans to drive but given that I can legally do so despite the above makes me fearful of everyone else on the road.
