![]() Matt Moore, a vice president at the Highway Loss Data Institute, a group affiliated with the insurance institute that analyzes insurance statistics, said so-called graduated licenses such as Florida’s, which require set periods of training and restrict driving privileges at certain ages, have been most responsible for the long-term reduction in the share of teen drivers. But even as that teenage population has increased from 14.9 million in 1996 to 16.9 million in 2015, the number of drivers in that age group involved in fatal crashes fell by more than half, from 6,021 to 2,898, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an industry-funded nonprofit. They are three times more likely than older drivers to be in a fatal crash. The shift appears to be having a direct impact on safety.ĭrivers aged 16 to 19 are among the most dangerous on the road. That’s partly a result of tough new rules imposed on young drivers and an explosion in ride-hailing and ride-sharing services. But even as the economy improved, the share of high school seniors with a license has generally been on the decline. Part of the reason is economic: fewer jobs, especially during the Great Recession, which meant teens didn’t need to get to work and had less money to bankroll their rides. High school seniors are most likely to have a license in the Midwest - 80.4 percent - and least likely to have one in the Northeast - 64.8 percent. ![]() The drop has been sharpest in the South, where the share of high school seniors with a driver’s license fell from 88.6 percent in 1996 to 71.2 percent in 2015. The share of high school seniors across the country who have a driver’s license dropped from 85.3 percent in 1996 to a record low 71.5 percent in 2015, according to data from the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future survey. “It’s more time and effort than I want to put into something that won’t benefit me a lot right now,” Stock said. So while Stock has a learner’s permit, he hasn’t yet made much of a dent in the 50 hours of supervised driving he needs to get a full license in Florida. And he can use a mobile ride-sharing app to get a ride when he needs one. Many of his friends are fellow gamers he can talk to online. He can walk to stores near his home in Hollywood, Florida.
