In 2011 , Brandon Schoettle and I documented the fact that, during the 25-year period from 1983 to 2008, there was a large reduction in the proportion of young persons with a driver’s license, and an increase in the licensing of older persons. The present analysis focuses on the changes from 2019 to 2020 (the first year with the pandemic).
