I realize that, but back in the day parents would exercise discretion. They wouldn't let you sit in the back of a truck on a major highway, but back roads and lesser roads were fair game. Just seems that we build laws to protect the morons (I think protecting them allows them to breed thus increasing the amount of morons that we have to deal with... that's just my theory), and the rest of the population get's screwed.
