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."

Perhaps they don't take the test because it is expensive to learn. They just drive without a licence or insurance......if the TV Police shows are anything to go on!

Euro 7 looks at brake and tyre dust. Carbon ceramic brakes for all?
Cars will be priced out of the market for the average citizen, returning them to playthings for the wealthy.
The Euro "Green Blob" wants to restrict personal mobility in their drive to a semi autocratic dependant society!
