Holy shit... my daughter is 13 and I wouldn't want her behind a steering wheel. Not at her maturity level. But then I also think the drinking age should be 16 and the driving age 18 because a lot of young people get in car crashes due to not understanding what alcohol does to them.

Its a far cry from operating a log truck or servicing sawmill machinery. Which requires years of experience.
