      Driver’s Ed, no longer offered by most public schools, costs around $450. Getting your license costs anywhere from $20-$1,000, depending on the state. The average vehicle costs $9,576 a year to own and operate. Teens aren’t over it, they just can’t afford to get into it.https://twitter.com/bgurley/status/1120008081868562432 …

      About a quarter of 16-year-olds had a driver’s license in 2017, down from nearly half in 1983. https://www.wsj.com/articles/driving-the-kids-are-so-over-it-11555732810 …

      I would also add that teens are often over-committed. It takes time to learn to drive and, to your point, to save money.

      I would point out that a lot of 16 year olds also have millennial parents who work multiple jobs and are paying off student loans and can't get in the driving practice hours or buy another car, or take them to an after school job

      Point taken except those parents are largely not millennials, who would have had to have had them at 22, which is rather on the young side lately.

          Depends on where you are. Live in Nebraska and a significant number of people have teenage children in their mid thirties. From Denver and it wasn't that uncommon either
