Uber has banned under-25s from working as drivers in California because of rising insurance costs.
This ban does not impact the under-25s who are already driving for Uber.
Car insurance is generally more expensive for younger or newer drivers with less experience.

People aged under 25 in California will no longer be allowed to work as Uber drivers after the ride-sharing giant changed its age limits, according to a report from the AP.
