Seems that seeing over the dash while still being able to reach the pedals would be a problem.
I was a teen myself before I worked at 7-11. I cannot tell you how many times I got strangers and slightly older, legal adults to buy me beer and smokes. In fact, my late mother, a lifetime public school teacher, had the bullshit attitude that if I was drinking or smoking pot in her basement, which I did, somehow that would make me safer. I was lucky, I had plenty of parties as a teen underage, where I did stupid shit in the basement, that if she had been caught, she could have lost her pension, job and been charged.
FYI I was being metaphorical. The point with guns, is the same as driving and alcohol. If I had my way, nobody under 21 would touch a firearm or smokes or booze. I made enough mistakes being under age with all those things to know I was lucky I didn't get arrested or die.
I used to hang out at the very 7-11 as a teen under 17 and hit adults up to buy me beer or smokes. But yet in modern times even when a 9 year old girl accidentally shoots her instructor because gun worshipers think firearms and kids are fun. The NRA and gun worshipers are fine with the fact that she will live with PTSD for the rest of her life.
