OMG!!!! My head is spinning!
I'm in farm country.....and so the legal age to drive if your parents (or family) work a farm is 16.....but it's a learner's permit and you have to have a licensed driver with you at all times on the road (on the farm it don't matter)...at age 17 you receive a "Cinderella license"......in which you cannot drive on the road after midnight (or whatever curfew is now-a-days). And at 18 a full fledged license.
Legal age to drink beer/wine/liquor (it's all alcohol...a drug.....sinful...whatever they are calling it now-a-days).......21.....no exceptions......and it's 18 to buy smokes (just a bit of FYI.....I'm 45 and still get carded for cigs sometimes.....it's really strange.....but flattering.....and startling to the person who cards me).
Age of sexual consent.......16 (m/f)......but as I said...I live in a really rural area and who knows who's doing what with who??!!!
Vote......18
Lil? You didn't mention.........were the kids tested for alcohol...and were they drunk or just on a joy ride? (some f'in joy!!!!????) Any survivors......or was there just the seven of them? What did they hit? And did they hurt anyone else?
Sorry......it's one of those....I need to know but I really don't wanna......things!
*sigh*
