It seems like an outrage to think a teenager isn't standing down at the DPS office at 7:30 in the morning of their 16th birthday, but apparently that's no longer the case:
No longer. In the last decade, the proportion of 16-year-olds nationwide who hold driver’s licenses has dropped from nearly half to less than one-third, according to statistics from the Federal Highway Administration.

To that mix, experts also add parents who are willing to chauffeur their children to activities, and pastimes like surfing the Web that keep them indoors and glued to computers.
Doesn't bode well for the motivation of this generation, does it?
