[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DD doesn’t drive?[/quote]Lots of kids today don't drive.  It is not that unusual.  2021 is not like 1985 where every 16 year old is dying to learn.[/quote]And explains a lot about all the issues GenZ has.[/quote]
I’ve noticed this also. The only two teens living on my block do not drive (18 and 19).  I was DYING to get out at their age. [/quote]

In DC (and NY), many kids don't actually need to drive, so they are not usually dying to get out there and drive a car to get their freedom. They've had the freedom to go places on their own since middle school. So that's the attitude part. Also, in DC you cannot sit for the permit test until after you turn 16. So for those who did want to get a license, those who turned 16 after March 2020, and those who were 16 earlier, but planned to wait until summer to start the process, now soon to be 18 year olds, are way behind because they could not get the permit easily due to COVID, then they needed to get the 40 hours in-car training, then they needed to get in line with all the other kids who turned 16 during 18 months of COVID to try to get a spot to take the road test, then they have to function under a provisional license for at least 6 months (IIRC). There is a backlog. Lots of kids will be 18 or 19 before they are fully licensed drivers.[/quote]
