Children driving Cars

In this essay I will explain why children should and should not be allowed to drive. There are three reasons for and against the proposition.

Kids can go anywhere they want. If they want to go somewhere they can go without being told by their parents. For example, if they wanted to go to the movies but their parents don’t want to go they can just go by themselves. It’s a good idea because they can explore the world and become independent.

Also they can get better at driving. As the years pass and when it is time to do a full licence test they could ace it and not be worried about failing. If a company wanted someone to drive something really fragile they are most likely to pick them because he/she passed the required test. They could also save money by not spending for driving lessons and spend it on something else they need.

Kids also can get to school earlier. If they got ready earlier than their parents. He/she could drive off without wasting time waiting for their parents to getting ready. Example, if Joe had a big school project he could drive to school early and have a head start and with his parents slowing him down. It’s a good idea because they have a higher chance of getting work finish.

The next three paragraphs are about why allowing children to drive is a really bad idea.

If the boy/girl was too short they would not be able to reach the pedal or see over the steering wheel and dashboard. If the start driving without seeing over they have a higher chance of causing an accident. It is a bad idea to let kids drive because if they cannot see therefore not aware what is happening and might just crash into people.

Another important reason is that they would just crash because of stupidity. Since most kids don’t follow instructions they will end on the road not knowing what to do. He/she could be driving in the wrong side of the road and crash. At the end of the day they could kill themselves, cause havoc and make a huge traffic jam.

The last reason is they would just have a race. Not being mature enough they could taunt other people. Getting bored at driving he/she could drive next to a random person and start challenging them. People could get hurt in the process and can end up behind bars.

This concludes my essay. I have discussed the reasons why children should and should not drive. I do not believe that children should be permitted to drive because they are not mature enough to handle the responsibility to drive.
