Drivers License for 9 year olds?

Its almost birthday time for my youngest son. Motorized scooters seem to be all the rage. (I think I am now qualified as old by calling something "all the rage")

I wonder if anyone at the retail store for these things in Nevada tells you this...

Motorized Scooters are considered mopeds in Nevada. A moped is a vehicle which looks and handles essentially like a bicycle and is propelled by a small engine which produces not more than 2 gross brake horsepower, has a displacement of not more than 50 cubic centimeters and is capable of a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour on a flat surface with not more than 1 percent grade in any direction when the motor is engaged. (NRS 486.038) You must have a Class C or higher driver license to drive a moped or motorized bicycle on a public street. You do not need a Class M license. Mopeds do not require insurance or vehicle registration. If the moped produces more than 2 gross brake horsepower, or has a displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters (50 cc), or is capable of exceeding thirty miles per hour (30 mph) on a flat grade, it is considered a motorcycle and you must have a Class M license, registration and insurance. Mopeds must have the same safety equipment (lights, mirrors, etc.) as a motorcycle in order to be driven on any public street. See the Motorcycle Equipment Tip Sheet. Other vehicles with a small engine are considered off-road motor vehicles and may not be operated on public streets. That includes sidewalks. You can receive a ticket which is a misdemeanor if you ride the motorized scooter on a public sidewalk. So, if the motorized scooter is for your huge driveway in Nevada then enjoy, otherwise, buy another video game and move on...
