non-driver

Someone without wheels

A non-driver is someone who doesn't drive—whether by choice, circumstance, or inability.

The term encompasses those without licenses, those who can't afford cars, and those who simply prefer other transportation: As a non-driver, she relies on public transit.

Non-drivers are often overlooked in car-centric planning and policy discussions.
