You can be ten and maybe drive.

I was driving an 80,000 lb. grain truck (loaded) when I was 9 years old.

I'm thinking that this obsession of yours to enslave us all and make us subject to random searches and seizures is rooted in fear, anger, frustration, or a desire for vengeance.

Which is it?

Sure, you could on your parents farm at the age of 9 drive an 80,000lb grain truck.
In my last trip to Hawaii I had a ten year old kid drive one of his fathers cars around the farm to show it to me.
I know another family whose kids had to also drive around the age of 9 because they lived in California on a 3000 acre farm.
Nor problem with those situations at all.

It's a different story on public streets. They public streets are NOT your private roads and as a condition of being allowed to drive on those roads you may be subject once or twice in your life to highway patrol stops to check your compliance with the rules of the road.

You have no problem with being required to have a license, insurance and a compliant operational car, do you?
