Only persons aged 16-years-old and above are permitted by law to operate a vehicle. An age requirement was imposed because younger persons are presumed as incapable of driving properly and responsibly and they may endanger the lives of many in the event of an accident.
True enough, an 11-year-old driver caused an accident in Tulare County that ended the lives of three people, including his own, and injured another.
According to authorities, Jose Silva was driving a 1993 Honda eastbound on Avenue 168 and ran a stop sign along Road 152. The Honda, which was carrying four occupants, all from Woodville, was then hit broadside by a 1999 Ford headed southbound.
The Ford driver who was identified as Charles Seguin, 44, from Porterville, sustained minor injuries and received treatment at the accident area. Meanwhile, Froylon Gonzales, 34, one of the Honda’s passengers, sustained life-threatening injuries and was brought to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
Jose, his 6-year-old sister named Elizabeth, and his mother Maria were all killed in the incident.
Parents should not let their children drive because young ones are not yet aware of what their actions can cause. In addition, children are not yet physically and mentally ready to handle the pressures that they may face while out on the roads.
