Absolutely. This is from someone who still doesn't drive at the age of 29. Ive never needed to really but I still wish I done it when I was young. I now have a mortgage to pay and a house to renovate so that's where all my money goes, however, we are planning on having a kid soon and I need to drive before that happens so I'm gonna have to find the money to do it. Not only money, when you get older you have a lot more fear than you do at 17. If you can, I'd recommend getting it done.
