Where can I take my 14 year old driving?

The only place you can legally take a 14 year old to practice driving is on private property that has no public access. If you have family that owns a farm or a hay field or some other pasture area that is pretty flat, you can take him/her there. Other than that, you can get into trouble

Even though parking lots are considered private property- they still have public access and the police still have jurisdiction. Even going way out in the country & letting them practice on an old county or state road that sees very little traffic, it is still illegal since it is a publicly maintained road & open to public traffic. If anything would happen, your 14 year old will be cited for driving without a license & you can get in trouble also for allowing it.

You can't be serious.. You are going to teach your 14 year old to drive and at the same time teach him that breaking the law is OK ? I hope you get caught..I would enjoy being in court when this came before a judge..

Why are people so blind?

As long as the vehicle is on private property you're fine. you cannot drive on town maintained public roads, only private property. A farming lane, fields, a large contruction yard... that sort of place. WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE OWNER!

I have been driving since I was 10. We were on a beach in Washington, it was legal to drive on it, and it was abandoned. After that, just find some out of the way place with very low (as in none) traffic and cops. I was taught how to drive early so that I could drive to somewhere safe if one of my parents was ever injured somewhere, couldn't drive, and didn't have a cell signal. And remember, it is only illegal if the cops find out about it, otherwise what they don't know, won't hurt them.

If you're taking a 14 year old driving you must live in a state where they can drive at 15 or 16...Florida or Wisconsin? Take them on an abandoned road? Or if you have some property somewhere...otherwise-if you get caught your child will lose their license before they even get a chance to have it in their hands-they could be faced to pay fines, and you being the parent allowing it-will def. rack up some fines...

Anywhere, assuming your 14 year old has a valid learners permit, and you are following the rules for your state. If not, you can't, anywhere.

Best place is a church parking lot, they're usually large, not a lot of things to hit, and are empty except for sundays.

your daughter can operate a vehichle as long as she is on you property or some ones property who doesn't care

private property, when all the bisnesses are closed. like school parking lots, shopping centers, industrial parks or office buildings would be good as they close on weekends and lots of corners and parking spaces. the industrial park you can just drive around the warehouses like streets.

I know in alberta canada
you can drive at 14 as long as an adult with a license is in the vehicle with you and you have your permit.

Only on private land can you drive underage without getting done. I was 14 when I learnt to drive on a beach in Southport,UK, when it was winter & very quiet. Quite a few years ago now. But today the Police are a lot stricter so I suggest private land.

No where. Too young. First off they have to be at least 15 WITH a permit. So no where.

Sorry

: (

Ashbaby

ummm to young, you shouldn't really do that
but that's my opinion so you can make your own choices
if you really do want to take her driving
take her on a dirt road or empty parking lot
but let me just remind you that no matter where you take her ...
there is still the risk of getting caught

YesMaybeNo

in a farm yard or on some backroads/gravel roads

start by letting him/her drive up your driveway... they're prob. gonna be scared in the beginning

then start at the beginning of the neighborhood and let them drive home from there

if you don't really have a neighborhood/driveway... I recommend you wait. getting caught is DEF not worth it. your kid would be pissed bc they wouldnt be able to get there real permit for longer. and you'd get in real trouble

hope you do have aneighborhood though. then when they're old enough it wont take as long to get started

Tony

empty carparks or quiet side roads!

RedzHeadz

desert. Back country. Most of the time if your in the passenger seat with them you wont get pulled over. But those places are the best if your not going to be with them.

Im 14 yrs. old, and My parents let me drive at open parks...or if your from Detroit, Michigan...U can go to the park called Belle Isle...where its really alot of Space...

jandy

School parking lot, back roads or shopping center parking lot or church parking lot after church. They have to learn somehow.

My Dad took me on an empty car park when i was younger to learn how to drive it was after the store had shut so there was no one about

linds

The open country is a good place to do that :)
In the open because you can see if there are any cops or anything.

The cops usually hide behind things like trees and stuff, so watch out.

In New Zealand, the driving age is only 15 there.

jimmyflavor

well it all depends on where you live. In mexico you can be 14 and driving. But the is basically no place in america were you could drive at 14.

well my dad taught us how to drive out in somedirt roads outside town, but you can also take her to an empty lot

Vipassana

Well, let's see.

It's illegal for them to drive. Period.

So, basically no where.

Anywhere you go, they can get ticketed for driving without a license. And they will not be allowed to get their license on time.

It's that simple.

Thumbs down? Lol; it's the LAW. How is my advise bad, if it's the legal answer?
