Well when you look at the cost of insurance, learning to drive, and cars themselves, when housing is more expensive than ever, and many jobs accessible to 19 year olds don't pay particularly well, is this surprising?

The assertion that it's "Gen Z don't want to learn to drive" might be wrong, could it instead be "Gen Z can't afford to drive"?

My 17 year old son just passed his test in the UK (in a manual, none of that automatic rubbish!) and the costs are astronomical, and out of reach to many.




Right, I wouldn’t agree that they necessarily aren’t interested, I was just clarifying that something is causing them to get less driver licenses, and this is reflected in statistics.
