It’s not a US specific problem.

Young drunks also ride electric mopeds in European capitals, usually renting them through apps. Sometimes without even a driving license.

So while public transports might be a part of the issue, I doubt they are the root cause.

But that wasn’t my point. My point was that, although it is stupidly dangerous, since they statistically have significantly more accidents than older drivers, young people are still allowed to get a driving license and drive.

Even though they are those that stand the most to lose in terms of life expectancy.
