Maybe in a few places but this is not a common thing. Possible, but not common.

    8 states in the USA, and the rest are 16 year old minimum age... so very common in the USA for a teen to be driving big ass trucks

    Those are mostly empty states (New Mexico, the Dakotas, Montana and Idaho) and also mostly permits, often requiring a licensed adult in the car until at least 16.

    It’s still dangerous but not as ridiculous as you’re trying to make it sound.
