The young are driving less, the old are driving more

Andrew Sullivan has the story. American car culture may be waning. Walking and biking are more and more popular among the young. It might be worth considering what this means for traffic safety. Fewer younger drivers means fewer risk takers on the road, but having a larger number of elderly drivers may pose its own set of problems.

How might state and city ordinances respond to this shift? It would be worth checking on these data on a state by state basis. I have a hunch this does not apply to Texas.
