Re: VNN segment about kids driving golf carts
OK, call me crazy, but I see nothing wrong with letting my grandson (7 yrs old) take a turn at the wheel with VERY CLOSE supervision. Look at the little kids running ATV's and dirt bikes.
Having said that, I would allow him to drive only on golf cart paths, not streets and I would "hover" over the brake and steering wheel.
I guess I come from a permissive family but I was running outboard motorboats and age 7 and driving the car up and down the driveway at 12.
The real key is proper supervision, which of course, is oftentimes completely lacking, not just with driving a cart.
