We cannot stop youth, only put controls in place that dissuade young people from being reckless. Traffic enforcement is huge - pulling people over for moving violations is the greatest deterrent in society but no, it will never solve the problem fully. The only thing that can help is more traffic enforcement and raising driving ages, but the latter again has other negative externalities that I personally don't think are worth it but I think it could be solidly argued for

People driving when they're too old is also a safety issue, with no deterrents or controls at all. The rate compared to another demographic isn't necessarily the point, it's still a problem and one is being mitigated and the other is not. Your point is whataboutism.

I grew up in a tourist heavy area with tons of people driving motorhomes visiting, and it was primarily older men driving because they're the ones with the time and wealth to do so. It's fucking TERRIFYING to have stubborn old men driving fucking buildings on wheels when they are too old to drive and are unfamiliar with the roads. Yes, it's a problem and it's not being addressed, whereas young drivers ARE being addressed in the best ways we currently have.

They're not the same.
