tldr, driving laws that restrict when and with who 16-17 year old permit holders can drive with may not be completely rational. Unlike racism, islamophobia, antisemitism, sexism and other forms of bigotry, you will likely outgrow ageism against youth. That's why it (rightfully, in my opinion) doesn't get the same priority as other ism's. The article starts: > Is it rational to discriminate against youth as a group, given the liberal, individualistic values of the present society? The common answer is yes, because Science says that young people are immature. I sincerely doubt that this is the common answer. Most people will probably say "yeah, I was a fucking idiot when I was 16" or "my teenager really isn't a mature adult yet". They will appeal to their own common sense, not science.
