In Idaho you can get a license at 15 with DI and 17 without it. In the 50's, they started DI and in about '62 they dropped the driving age from 16 to 15. I was born in the wrong month and wasn't able to start at 15. It's still offered in most high schools.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
― George Orwell

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
