I just don't understand. When I was 16 (and living in BC), I got my learners on my birthday and did the road test 3 months later. Everyone wanted to get their license back then. It seems that today, my kids, their friends, and even my friends kids just don't want to bother.

As an early millennial, I got my drivers around 18, that said that was driven by my living location and the need to drive. If I lived where I live now (middle ring suburb, with excellent transit) I likely wouldn't bother, the cost/stress-benefit relation wouldn't work (it barely made sense at that point, early '00's pre-smartphones and with 60-80c gas).
