Why are members of the the brethren discouraged from driving vehicles?

Members of the Brethren, particularly in certain groups like the Plymouth Brethren, may be discouraged from driving vehicles to maintain a lifestyle focused on humility, simplicity, and community. They often prioritize spiritual values over material possessions and may see vehicle ownership as a potential distraction from their faith. Additionally, avoiding personal vehicles can encourage reliance on communal support and foster closer relationships within their community.
