Not at all. Forty-six is not old and even if it were, as long as you are in good health, have good eyesight, and adequate reflexes, driving a car can be learned or relearned. (You did not say if you already knew how to drive--I'm assuming not.) I have known people who always let their spouses drive them everywhere and never learned how. When the spouse died, it made them dependent on others, basically tied down. Embrace independence-- you never know when you might need it and it will open up options you will not have otherwise.
