This must be possible but I have difficulty seeing how a 7 year old could even reach the pedals let alone drive a vehicle with any competency.
That might be why he was driving recklessly...when he put his foot on the gas or the brakes, his eyes were below the dashboard; when his eyes were above the dashboard, he couldn’t put his foot on the peddles.

My twin grandsons “stole” our golf cart out of our barn when they were 4! lol One operated the steering wheel while the other one worked the pedals. Needless to say, as we sat on the deck talking and saw the golf cart speeding past, their Mom took off running since they were heading towards the street [& our fence]. They did really good though....Scott turned the wheel to avoid the fence about the time their Mom caught up with them. By the age of 7 they were driving the golf cart with no problems, taking turns. After that they advanced to our Kawasaki Mule. I won’t get into the two of them playing “gas station” with the water hose and their dad’s John Deere mower.....insert eyeroll....Kids, huh? haha
They probably coasted without hitting the pedals. Hence the report of a reckless driver.
sit on the front edge of the seat. I have done it in a 56 International PU and it was manual with a starter button on the floor. When I was 11, I regularly drove a 3/4T 64 $WD pickup ten miles one way from one farm to the other and it was a 4-speed manual. I only had to drive about 2 miles on a blacktop road, the rest was gravel, but I still got the old truck up to 85mph. I might have not even been 11, I just know that it the 64 was traded for a 69 3/4T 4WD, so I was 12 at the very oldest, and I know it was quite a while prior to the new truck.
Obviously I was in a really rural area, also.
