Not the best parenting, but the author would probably be shocked to leard that farm kids start driving, not just cars but tractors, when they are 11 or 12. Of course the parents provide training and are sober.
Sadly, I never leard a thing from my parents, sober or otherwise, which is probably evident.
My neighbor, when I was a kid, had a farm license when he lived in Michigan. He said 13 or 14 year olds could get provisional licenses to drive farm equipment or even a pick up truck. It was just supposed to be for farm purposes.
15 is waaay too young for a child to be driving! Child endangerment for this offense should carry a 15 year sentence!
This young lady should not have to ensure that her papa gets home safely. She should be free to enjoy her childhood while she is still young! Let her go to her school and get one of those free sex-change operations the schools are so anxious to dispense without parental notification, let alone approval.
