** Vanellope Von Schweetz from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' is the third child racer in the game, and while she is too young to legally drive, her inclusion in the game is justified since she originated from the ''[[FictionalVideoGame Sugar Rush Speedway]]'' arcade game, where the racers in her world are also children.

* In California, children under the legal driving age can operate motor vehicles such as full-sized automobiles in a controlled area as long as they have an approved supervisor overseeing their efforts. This is what allowed Cannan Huey-You to drive a car with duct tape tires in the first episode of ''Series/MythBusters jr'', as he had Adam Savage overseeing his efforts.

* Tails and Amy are seen driving their race cars in various ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' racing games, such as ''VideoGame/SonicDrift'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAndSegaAllStarsRacing'', despite respectively being 8 and 12 years old. Even Sonic may qualify for areas requiring to be 16 or older to drive, being 15 years old. Heck, Blaze and Silver, being 14, drive cars in ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing''.

(Of course, Tails, being Tails, has already flown airplanes with more skill than most Air Force fighter pilots, so it's unsurprising he can handle a car.)

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', although children are forbidden by adults from driving cars we see that the Kids Next Door have vehicles and technology that grant them high-speed transportation in land, air, sea, space and even underground proving that age is not a factor in cognitive driving skills. Numbuh Two himself is an expert pilot though this could be because he's Sector V's chief architect and designed the vehicles that he's piloting himself. Even ''babies'' are capable of developing and driving their own cars!

* ''VideoGame/Persona5'': Joker is responsible for driving the Phantom Thieves around in the Mona Bus initially, but this only happens in the Metaverse- in the real world he only ever uses the public transit system.

[[DrivesLikeCrazy unique]].
