I live in GA, working near Atlanta.
Short response: if you don’t drive, you can’t function here.

Walking or biking any meaningful distance and frequency will get you run over. Really.
Buses are too far and infrequent. Trains are worse. Both require you pay; no money, no travel (think “poll tax” for your argument).
Existing driver licensing is too lax to warrant existence of such regulation.

There is no compelling reason to treat driving as a privilege. To the contrary, in modern society it is as much a right as buying food (”you could grow your own...” arguments are just as inane).

Unlike cars, which cost nothing to operate in Georgia. (Look up Georgia Credit Card in a slang dictionary).
