Q&A for How to Teach Your Kid to Drive

It depends on which state/country you live in. But yes, you should be able to qualify for a learner's permit.

Yes! It is important to learn freedom and independence when you're young, and if you get the basics down now, the learning process will be much easier for you when you're old enough to begin training for real.

It depends on where you live, but in most places you can get your learner's permit at age 15 and begin driving with an adult in the car.

No, definitely not. It's not legal to allow a child under the age of 16 to operate a motor vehicle without a permit (and even then, the minimum permit age is 14 or 15, depending on which state you live in).

Most cars require you to turn the key; some have buttons you need to push.

Your parents may not be the best people to teach you. Look into driving schools in the area; many certified instructors specialize in anxious/nervous new drivers and would be more than happy to teach you.

In most places you have to be around 15 or 16 to start learning how to drive, at least on public streets and areas. Farm children often learn earlier because they can drive on private land but should always be thoroughly supervised.

In the US, all learning drivers must have a permit. A parent can teach but the permit is non-negotiable.

No, you cannot. The minimum age to get a leaner's permit in the United Kingdom is around 15 years+9 months old.
