[Spridgets] Car Dealer question, absolutely NO LBC

[Kathryn Bales]

When I was growing up in Idaho, an instruction permit was issued at 14, 
and a daylight only license at 15. most of us had already been driving 
farm trucks for years without licenses of any kind, so having one was 
merely a bonus allowing us to go to other than the grain elevator and 
back to the ranch with a quick stop at the tavern for an ice cream cone.
