I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.
Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about sociology.
Here is the full paragraph for your review:
My eldest son has basically sworn off driving (to make a point of how expansive public transportation is, he rode every single bus route in San Francisco in a single day).

Juró dejar de conducir
Mi hijo mayor básicamente se comprometió/juró dejar de conducir;
"sworn off driving" is a strange expression in my eyes; " swore to give up driving" sounds more natural to me;

ha jurado dejar de conducir
El original dice: "has basically sworn off driving".
Es importante reproducir tanto el tiempo del verbo (pretérito perfecto) como el sentido de "basically".
Traducción:
"... ha jurado prácticamente dejar de conducir"
