What's the minimum age for operating a boat in GA, (is there one?) vs
the minimum age for driving a car?


What sort of government ID does a 14 year old kid, allowed to putt
around the harbor in the family dinghy with a 20-HP motor on it,
carry?


Could be a problem for boaters too young to drive, IMO.


There are lots of people who don't have a driver's license. My mother
didn't get one until she was in her 60s ... she still has it and she
ded in 2002.


I think all states have an ID card for those people who don't drive.- Hide quoted text -

In CT you have to be 16 to get the boating licence, and car licence.
My dad does not drive but has a CT photo id very similar in appearance
to our state drivers licence.
