you're right:

"In Britain the proportion of teenagers able to drive has almost halved, from 41% to 21%, in the past 20 years."

Exactly - and tyres + brakes cause substantially more pollution than exhaust pipes:
"The report estimates 52% of all the small particle pollution from road transport came from tyre and brake wear in 2021, plus a further 24% from abrasion of roads and their paint markings. Just 15% of the emissions came from the exhausts of cars and a further 10% from the exhausts of vans and HGVs."
