That is what I was thinking. At 5 years old, how could he even reach the pedals and see over the dash?
Could barely reach them.I recall the story of a 5 yr old near Cleveland who took his grandma’s car out for a solo spin early one morning. A couple blocks away the car collided with a parked car and the airbags deployed at 200 MPH, killing him.
A vid on youtube “How Do Little People Drive” has a 3 foot 1 inch tall young
lady showing the built up pedals she uses.
My father in law was born in 1917 on a ranch. I am pretty sure he was driving by 5 because he was smoking by 7. Life was different.
