If you live on a farm you can get a permit even younger!!!
Yep. I've never known one farm kid that wasn't a good driver. All of my family and cousins learned to drive very young.

I'm not sure why the Europeans here think its so odd that a 16 year old drives. 16 year olds get charged for murder. Plus, nobody wants to tote their kid back and forth every night to school, work, and after school activities.
