The number of teenaged drivers has hit a record low, according to the Federal Highway Administration, which reports America has the fewest 16-year-old drivers now than at any other time since the 1960s.
Of the 8.5 people — aged 19 and younger — who had a driver’s license in 2014, just over one million were aged 16 and younger.
That’s quite a switch from the time when getting a driver’s license was a significant milestone in the life of an American teenager, usually acquired as soon as possible after one’s 16th birthday. Obtaining a driver’s license was a milestone moment, a rite of passage that foreshadowed impending adulthood and represented a new freedom brought on by being able to transport yourself — and your friends — rather than relying on Mom or Dad.
