<human>:  Could Lil Wayne legally operate a vehicle on his own at the beginning of his career?
<bot>: No, Lil Wayne was not old enough to legally operate a vehicle on his own at the beginning of his career. Lil Wayne's career began in 1995, at the age of 12, when he was signed by Birdman and joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label. A driver's license is required to legally operate a vehicle by yourself in the USA. So Lil Wayne could not.
