Isnt this still age discrimination?

  Not if it's a law, I wouldn't say. By law 16 year olds can't drive on public roads, but that's not counted as age discrimination.

    Isn't that obviously age discrimination? It's just that sometimes there's a good reason for it.

    By that logic, Jim Crow laws weren't discriminatory because they were laws. I wouldn't suggest relying on legal frameworks as a replacement for ethical ones.

      "It's not discrimination, it says so right here in the legal code" would fit right in to a Monty Python sketch.

    Why stop there? Why not harp on the 21+ laws, or the 18 to vote or the or the or the? Then you can take the same logic and apply it to why do we have laws that restrict anything? Very soon, it's anarchy

  Yes, but age discrimination is something we consider acceptable in most countries. There are specific kinds of age discrimination we consider unacceptable but by and large it’s legal. In the US, for instance, Medicare only serves sufficiently old people.
