My whole life I have seen advertisements for desk jobs that required people to have driver's licenses, use of a vehicle, and insurance, even when there was no driving involved in the job at all.

Requiring a driver's license for employment is now prohibited in California if driving is not reasonably expected to be part of the job duties. This is a huge victory for people who use transit and cycling for their mobility.

@SpaceLifeForm @danwentzel I was once told at a job interview (in the UK) that the company requires all employees to own a vehicle because it means that they can reliably attend work

This was an interview for an office job 10-15 mins walk from where I lived at the time
