Not to mention that states all over the country have been raising their driving ages, reducing the number of eligible drivers. Here in New York you can no longer get a license until you&#x27;re 17 years old <i>if you&#x27;ve taken driver&#x27;s ed</i>, else it&#x27;s age 18. Not surprising, then, that the percentage of drivers under 17 has declined.<p>Article makes no mention of that fact and I wasn&#x27;t able to locate the paper with a cursory look.
