What if it was made illegal for people under 21 to drive sometime before car ownership became common OTL? What effects would this have on the culture of car-driving?
Back then, you could Marry at 14, but not let you Drive a Automobile?What if it was made illegal for people under 21 to drive sometime before car ownership became common OTL? What effects would this have on the culture of car-driving?
And kids out in the country will still be driving at 13 or so, same as always.
Farms existed for a long time before cars did.And, at that time, the U.S. was to a great extent, "out in the country", and farm work is greatly facilitated if someone besides Mom and Dad can drive the vehicles...
Think the idea is D. O. A.
People existed a long time before farms did...so what?Farms existed for a long time before cars did.
I see a lot of Farm States challenging this Federal Law on young Drivers.ATL That would not change, but Teenaged farm kids would be forbidden to drive into town.

OTO the male brain does not mature until age 25, so restrictions on teenaged drivers reduce accident rates .... just ask any insurance company!
ATL The army could always train 18-year-olds to drive, but - hopefully - limit their freedom to suffer accidents: requiring a 25-year-old crew-commander’s supervision, zero tolerance for drunken driving, limited hours, etc.
OTL Farm kids have always been able to drive on the family farm as soon as they could reach the pedals.
