What value getting a driving licence these days?

For Mr Dias, 18, of Harrogate, not much it would seem

1 week after passing his test, he was breathalysed at 2x the limit and subsequently fined £120 with a 20 month ban by the court last week

Not as much as it was for sure.
Younger folk nowadays put less importance on personal transport. They all have public transport apps they sort out their journeys for them.

Only if they live in a city or big town.

No useable public transport near me (Surrey /Hampshire borders) or my sister (Northamptonshire), certainly not a couple of mates in the Borders.
