A 13-year-old boy who lived on a farm with his parents in a rural area had learned to drive the family's tractor when he was 11. A state statute permitted persons without a driver's license to operate farm vehicles on public roads for short distances. One morning the boy took the tractor onto a public road to reach one of the outlying fields a few hundred yards away. As he neared the field he was distracted by a girl riding by on a bicycle, and cut in front of a milk delivery truck that was starting to pass him. The truck swerved off the road, injuring the driver. If the driver sues the boy to recover damages for his injuries, which of the following statements is most correct regarding the standard of care to be applied?
A. The state statute replaces the general common law standard of care with a statutory standard.
B. The trier of fact should take into account the boy's experience at driving a tractor when considering the applicable standard of care.
C. Persons 13 years of age or older are held to the same standard as adults.
D. An adult standard of care will not be applied because it is common in that region for children of that age to be operating tractors.
