In California teens aren't allowed to drive the way I was able to when I was a teen. Teens can't drive around other teens, and I don't think they can drive at night without an adult. This is for safety, and when I think back about my teen years it makes sense.
Also, maybe for some of the same reasons, they take the driving test much more seriously then when I was a kid. If you could park the car and stay in a lane, congratulations. Now it seems like they really fail you for not knowing how many feet something can hang off your tail, etc. It's a lot more pressure-- and probably a lot more work for the DMV.

I think the decline in interest is something else, because just between me and my several years younger brother's times the interest amongst teen boys driving dropped off significantly, despite the same restrictions applying.
