AgentBirdnest: I am scared to death of driving. Every time I tried to learn, I would just have a panic attack. [snip] It is too stressful for me.
I definitely understand and appreciate your opinion. I, myself, didn't get my driver's license until I was 21 ("normal" driving age for my state was 16). It can be a very nerve-racking experience. However, have you thought about potentially using a driving school? If money is an issue, this may not be a perfect solution, but most auto insurance companies will offer discounts to customers who learned to drive professionally, so that helps to offset the cost in the long term. I once had a job working in the office at a driving school, and they were able to help many people get their license; including a man with autism. Again, something like this might not be affordable (or, potentially, even available by where you say you live), but it is something to consider.
Just be sure that the school you are using is certified by the state before using them. Many will claim to be, but actually aren't. You should be able to get a list from your state's driver services/motor vehicle department website.
