Go to drivers ed. Even if you abhor cars such that you never get a license, take drivers ed. It'll probably make you a safer cyclist.
But I'll bet at some point you'll wish you had a license. You'll want to rent a car, or take a job driving a truck and you'll wish you had that license.
Your mother is right. In the USA, driving is a life skill.
