The Article states: A couple of decades ago, high schools were filled with students who wanted to hit the road. In 1996, over 85 percent of high school seniors had a license. Try asking drivers over age 40 when they got their license. They're likely to say it was soon after they reached the legal age. Back then, a license was an all-important express ticket to adulthood!
