I got mine around 35. Learning to drive was significantly easier than earlier attempt around 19.

Young people are seriously impaired by emotions and lack of experience with real world in general.

Driving is a particularly hard thing to do. Younger people generally don't notice it because everything seems hard for them. So they just wing it and get into a lot of accidents.

As 40yo you'll be fully aware of the danger but also emotionally equipped to operate appropriately.
