@marcmona1864 probly not all. Every teen I've asked gives me that answer though . My niece is 20 now and still no license. We don't live in a city. She is starting to feel the squeeze because she always struggles finding a ride. She says she is afraid.
I do not own a car I am 47 years old I ride a bicycle everywhere 365 days a year in Alabama trust me 99% of people with a drivers license should not have one
I didn’t know this until my son was over age but when they have a driver permit in Florida they don’t have to be covered on our insurance makes no sense to me but I didn’t find that out until he was 20 because that was a big deciding factor that scared me off from him driving
I haven’t watched this yet but I can say in the the last 10 years It’s so very evident. When I was young we were there at 15 waiting to turn 16 now they’re graduating high school and still not even wanting to get a permit at 19 and 20 🤷🏼♀️
Yes after watching…. I remembered thinking when my son turned 18 and then 19 how much the roads had changed in Orlando and how it is pretty much doggy Dogg World on those roads. Not to mention people had much more manners all those years ago and of course weren’t a quarter of crowded
@@LosHitman Ik it’s different between states, but if you take just a couple days to look into it the process isn’t that confusing. Driver’s ED will also teach this process. Secondly I don’t think it’s that long bc most people can get their license only one year after they first get their permit. Third, I know drivers ed can be expensive as well as the written and road tests, but those are the main fees needed to pay. (There may be more/less in different states). Ultimately, if you need to get somewhere too far to bike or walk, a license and a car is the best option considering how high ride share prices are nowadays.
I didn't get my license until I was 23. I honestly didn't really feel like I needed it as a teen, but when I moved out of the house, I realized that I needed it to get around. My mom just didn't think I was mature enough as a teenager to manage it responsibly. A lot of people were scared of the idea of me driving just because I'm autistic. It's sad that people underestimate what autistic people are capable of.
@@yoleeisbored very true. Uber has become so expensive nowadays it cannot justify the expense of having a car. I pay more money for a 35 minute Uber ride to the airport than I do getting gas.
It's because more and more young people have been dependent on public transportation. Especially in new York and the urban areas, not to mention cars are expensive now
I do not think it is exactly that. Some people have anxiety about learning to drive and also the fact that taking the permit test and drug and alcohol course is a huge barrier.
Don't forget that driving cars only has become more expensive and that passing your test atleast with us in Europe got way harder (don't know about USA might be different there)
idk about USA, but I can't think a single reason why to buy a car cars are: Expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, always stuck in never ending traffic. Metro: Cheap, no traffic, Buss: just as slow if not more but atleast I am not paying thousands of dollars to get angry at traffic. I especially don't get why people associate cars with freedom- A car is not that much freer than a train: You need special made roads for both of them which is made by the government, even if you have a car that can go off road that doesn't means you can drive everywhere- it still can get stuck at mud and a few trees might as well be a brick wall and realistically you won't use it for that kind if stuff. Public Transit gets me wherever I want too, I just need to walk for 15 mins max after I leave metro :/ What does a car really offer to me? In an emergency I can call and ambulance, a taxi or an uber- I honestly don't find them attractive so the luxury side is off... it's just money wasted so you can crawl towards your destination at snail speed in a more comfortable environment? I'd rather have my 1 hour metro ride than a 1 and a half hour car ride.
Well what ur saying is mostly true. Many people (like me) live in suburbs away from any big cities and major public transport. Cars do get stuck in traffic, but that’s mainly on the interstates during rush hours and only slows you down a bit. Owning a car would be faster and more accessible than public transportation, and much cheaper than ridiculously high rideshare prices.
In what state is it that expensive? I think it’s $50-60 dollars for the first attempt, but realistically, you should pass on the first or second attempt. Making it a one or two time cost
It's because all the cool cars are disappearing you look at the 1990s and early 2000s the Era of street racing and epic jdm tuner cars and now all electric no fun for young people even the petrol cars which are running will be banned in 10 years time it's a whole lot different driving a patrol cars and an electric car.
Another example of Gen x & Z buttercups! "stress"? Teens don't even know what stress is! Can you imagine if we had an active war going on with conscription activated again?
