Is there a religious exemption for the age required to drive a semi? I watch these 16 year old Mennonite kids haul grain to town in semis. It's one thing to be going down a couple gravel roads, not on a four lane highway. Just now this punk kid made a wiiiiide right hand turn and stopped traffic in the process. I think it's negligent. Put the kids in the grain carts, but let an adult haul to town.
