No, actually, in Mass it's 16 for permit and 16.5 for license. I just got
mine yesterday (half a year "late" ;-).

'Til you're 18, you have a junior-operator license, meaning you can only
drive at certain hours.

Huh-- they must've changed it since I went thru drivers ed-- (which I also
did a year late at age 17-- although I got my licence after my birthday, so
I was 18 by then). Although I think the junior-operator thing was still in
effect (I had forgotten about that one)

How come I know the laws better than you, and I'm not even a citizen?! ;-)

That's the real test to see if you're a citizen: apathy! *REAL* US citizens
don't care enough to learn the law, you foreigner! *REAL* US citizens watch
and believe everything as seen on Fox, and as reported on E! :P
