I think in most of the US anyone can legally drive anything on private property, at least thats how my kids learned to drive before they were 12. At 16 now they're taking drivers ed, and the instructor finally called and asked when daughter 2 learned to drive. When he was told she was 8, he nearly fainted. But its just hand eye coordination at first. In traffic, I'd still wanna be driving, but in an emergency they've been ready, able, and willing to drive since they were 10 or so.

Ed

I'll try to be there, looks good now.
