Recently, I read on the newspaper, that a little girl, 4 years old, drive on the roadway. Her mother sit besides her, and her father sit behind and take video during his daughter drive. It is said this video has been uploaded in youtube. I have not yet seen it. But, in my mind, this is a very fantastic. Some people may see it as funny, but myself think this action is very dangerous. How about with you guys? Do you think this is a funny video or a very dangerous action? Please share with me. Thanks and happy mylotting!

This is not funny at all. It is dangerous for both the girl and her family but also for those who happens to be in traffic in the same time. I think those parents should be punished for what they did. They endangered their daughter's life and they shouldn't be left unpunished.

I find it rather dangerous and not funny at all. Well at least if it happened in real life. If I saw something like this, I would wonder what the heck the parents were thinking. I really think that there are a lot of times where things seem cute at first. This would be one of them. However, this is something that has more horrifying implications than one would really think about. There are many ways where something like this can be far darker. So yeah, it doesn't seem rather not that amusing. Children that young, being put behind the wheel of the car, it is rather horrifying. Not the worst thing that I have ever seen a parent do. However, there are many times where it is rather up there with the worst things that parents have ever done in their life. It does horrify me that people could find something like this amusing. It is just a disaster waiting to happen.

hi atleya I am with you on that its downright stupid of th4e parentw and what the hell were they thinking letting a little child try to drive a huge vehicle she could have rammed into someone and killed them and herself and parents.I think those parents are missing some vital brain cells.,such a stupid thing to do. It makes me just plain angry with them.

If you are at home in your own yard and you are out in the country then I do not see a problem. But when you are in the middle of the city and on the road this is not funny this is very dangerous and should be in trouble. This can kill people or become very messy. I think the parents should know better for the life of their own child, themselves, and others around them.

Yes I do believe it is very dangerous. There is a reason that there are age limits, but I can't say much because my boyfriend started driving at the age of 4. But I do not agree with his parents parenting.

I don't find it funny at all, instead, I find it very inconsiderate and ridiculous. How can the parents let their 4 years old girl drive the car. It is too dangerous for a 4 years old child to drive when she don't really know how to operate the vehicle and do not how to respond when something bad happen. If the parent let their child doing this, that mean they allow the child to drive, what if one day the little girl get the car key and drive the car without their parents around. That will be too late already. Some parent will never think about the consequences of what they are teaching their children and they still proud of what their child can do and never think about the safety of the child.

I do think it is not funny at all but very dangerous. Well, this little girl had her parents with her and they are taking video for her and want to share it with others. What do they want to prove? their little girl's ability? Well, this time their little girl is ok and safe, but what about next time, i mean what if she drives out one day with herself? haven't they let her feel confident in driving? I have heard a news about a little boy drove out by himself when his dad was sleeping, thank god, everything was ok at last. But what if something dangerous happened? I think the parents' deed is encouraging little kids driving. It is not funny at all.

You are totally right, I also think what exactly want to be shared by people in the world, by take big risk, ask a very young girl (4 YEARS OLD) to drive in the roadway and upload the video in youtube. It is unbelievable parent can do this.

atleya, Like the majority, I just do not find the parent's antic to be anywhere near funny here. Children are very curious and have a large capacity to learn at their tender age and letting them behind the wheel at this stage is just sending the wrong message about safe driving. It will be sometime before this toddler will just find her way to the wheel of the car and take it for her own joy ride without a license. Just think what might happen then. Besides, the parents here should actually teach her about belting up and the importance of riding safely with a car seat.

I think it's too dangerous to let a little girl to drive a car.Maybe it's woderful and happy experience for the girl and her parents.But if there is anything bad happened,it will be regret for one life. I don't know the traffic in their country is safe or not,but in my hometown,it's tooooo... dangerous.

Yes, no reason for asking a young girl (4 years old) to drive in the roadway. Whether the traffic is safe or not, still remain dangerous for a very young girl. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, atleya. I haven't seen the video yet, but I will look for it on Youtube very soon. No. I don't think that it is funny at all for her parents to allow her to drive by herself on the road. This is very dangerous! What are her parents trying to do? Are they trying to allow their daughter to get them all killed in a bad car accident??? She is too young to be driving at this age. Too young! I thought that a parent that is smart and responsible would realize that this is very dangerous and not funny at all.

it is not funny i guess..to think that a 4-yr old child is very young..and even if its parents are there to assist but that must not do that..they only put their child into risk..it is very alarming on the childs situation..
