    Sure, but why get a licence if you know you won't have a car any time soon?

    Because it's convenient to be able to drive a car? There are lots of cases when you may borrow a car to do things. Teenagers might borrow their parents car to do errands and stuff.

    In places like Finland it costs over a thousand euros to get your driver's license. That's less than a car obviously but not nothing either

    That still sounds on the cheap side for Europe, in some countries you'll easily have spent north of 2k€ on all the mandatory lessons and exams, or even more if you're a slow learner or fail the tests a few times.
