Why aren't teens more interested in driving? We want to hear from you

Coming of driving age is a big deal to some teenagers. But others couldn't care less about getting behind the wheel.

Nearly 40% of teens delayed getting their license by one to two years, and 30% delayed by more than two years, according to a 2020 study led by Dr. Federico Vaca and published in the Journal of Adolescent Health.

Is it driving-induced anxiety? Are teens spending more time inside on devices and less time socializing in public spaces? We want to know.

Is there a teen in your life uninterested in driving or getting their license? Or are you an adult who chooses not to drive? We want to hear from you or your teens for this story.
