N.C.P.I.—Motor Vehicle 220.10
OPERATION OF VEHICLE WITHOUT A CLASS "C" LICENSE-UNDER AGE.
The motor vehicle law provides that an operator's license shall not
be issued to any person under the age of sixteen years.2
Operation of a motor vehicle by a person under the age of sixteen
years on a [highway] [street] is negligence within itself.
However, a finding of such negligence does not alone establish a
causal connection between it and [the collision] [(describe other
occurrence)]. Such negligence would not be a proximate cause if the
operation of the vehicle was otherwise in accordance with the duties
imposed by law.3
