      8 states in the USA, and the rest are 16 year old minimum age… so very common in the USA for a teen to be driving big ass trucks

        Those are mostly empty states (New Mexico, the Dakotas, Montana and Idaho) and also mostly permits, often requiring a licensed adult in the car until at least 16.

        It’s still dangerous but not as ridiculous as you’re trying to make it sound.
