My 15 yo daughter has no desire to get a license. My friends are having the same problem with their kids not wanting a drivers license, just hoping that their parents will always be there to run them to the mall.
I have answered this little problem with the fact that I refuse to drive her anyplace that is not on the way or at a time that is convenient for me.
The best part is that I personally do not drive a car for most trips. I ride a bike unless it is absolutely necessary to take the car.

Ha ha, my dad was such a PITA, he would moan and groan whenever he had to pick me up/take me to work (three miles away) when it was raining or snowing (couldn’t bike there). I never bothered to ask him again the day after I bought my car (at a little over 16 years of age). Of course, now, that would be impossible for a young person to do unless they are a dot-com cashout. Insurance was very tough when I was a kid. Now, it’s basically impossible at any price if it’s not on your family insurance.
