    Driving is a constitutional right? If that is true then why is there a licensing system? Why can’t we just start driving at whatever age we feel like it?

    I wonder what the families of the dead 16 individuals feel about that?



    There is a terrible mentality from many foreign drivers. Selfishness is #1.
    Selfishness is shown in both videos yet, the majority ignore this fact.!

    New Canadian driver, 16 died, yes it was an accident however any normal driver who immigrated to a country and this type of incident occurred won't put up a fight to stay in a foreign county that the accident that caused 16 deaths. Not one, but 16 human lives.

    In general, the legal age to drive farm trucks (like pickup trucks or other farm-related vehicles) varies depending on the specific vehicle and the state. Some states may allow 14-year-olds to drive farm vehicles on private property or for farm work, while others may require a driver's license for any farm truck driven on public roads. In Florida, a learner's permit allows driving with a supervised adult, but the requirements for driving farm trucks on public roads may be stricter.
    Here's a more detailed breakdown:
    • Private Property:
      Many states allow 14-year-olds to drive farm trucks on private property or within a farm's perimeter, especially if it's for farm work.
    In Florida:
    In Florida, a learner's license allows driving with a licensed driver 21 years or older in the front passenger seat from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. To obtain a CDL, which is required for driving certain commercial vehicles, you must be at least 18 years old and have an operator's license. Driving farm vehicles on public roads in Florida may require a driver's license and may be subject to the same regulations as other vehicles, such as speed limits.
    It's crucial to check the specific laws and regulations of your state or local area to understand the age requirements and restrictions for driving farm trucks..

    • Public Roads:
      Driving a farm truck on public roads typically requires a driver's license and may be subject to restrictions, such as speed limits or the need for a slow-moving vehicle sign.
    • State Laws:
      State child labor laws and vehicle regulations will dictate the specific age requirements and restrictions.
    • Supervision:
      In some cases, even if a minor is allowed to drive a farm truck, they may need to be supervised by an adult, especially if they are operating the vehicle on public roads or if the vehicle is a more dangerous type of machinery.

    Lets face it. Your augments are not really
    Ok, and? Where does it provide data that not reading/writing english puts people at risk? It doesnt, and it too will be tossed. Just because laws are passed, does not mean courts wont toss them out...

    Want me to show you the data on drunk drivers putting people at risk?

    Not saying someone can’t drive, I’m also a farm kid. What I was getting at was if it’s a right and not a privilege then why is it regulated? Where in the constitution is it written that it’s a right to drive?

    Execellent Google copy/paste skills by the way.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    Everyone arguing to keep these non driving people on the road and turning a blind eye to all the fraudulent companies that foreigners have set up make me glad I’m no longer in the cesspool of general freight.

    Thanks, Dont have to be a rocket scientist to look #### up. Again, you are avoiding the basic question, where is the data to support the claim that making people read/write english makes the roads safer? As you say, I am good at google, and if I cant find it, it probably doesnt exist...

    Now, see here is YOUR TRUE INTENT. 28% of Americans are functionally illiterate.

    You dont want people that cant read/write english off the roads, you want FOREIGNERS off the roads...

    Lets just make them wear yellow stars on their shirts. Because that is the road you are trying to steer us down weather you know it or not.
