Really shows you how much talent you need to drive these days! I think its great to see parents teaching their kids to drive at such early ages! My daughter turns 2 in 3 weeks, I think i will wait until her birthday before I let her behind the wheel. |

When I was out on property previously .... I always had my son on my lap in the ute .... and would get him to steer ... and get him used to left/right ... and that was before he was 2 ... he's now 2 and a half.
And when at the in-laws property ... he gets the chance to "drive". I "NEVER" leave him unattended with any vehicle though.

Better to learn anything when you're young.

I can understand having your child on your lap steering, on private property...
But on public roads? sitting in the drivers seat alone? Father of the year award coming his way....

Agreed ... no way I'd let my son in the driver's seat on his own.
The above video is so dangerous ... in a city as well ... anything could happen. The child never looked around to check when changing lanes when going around the vehicle that was stopped.

I don't think children can really comprehend how to break,accelerate & steer a 2 tone object.
fair enough sitting on dads lap & steering on privet property isn't to bad & it is a some what controlled situation. but a 4 year old on a public road? idiotic... |

In China...wow...I am shocked. Really. Wow. Words cannot express...
I'm sure she'll pick up the same habits as her old man such as buying a white Toyota Camry, not headchecking or indicating, not understanding road-etiquette, proper parking, going 60km/h in the right hand lane on the freeway....
