Most likely, one has a set area where they are allowed to go, and a set distance. Kids cannot get away from anybody on a bike because it is a lot slower than being in a car. At the age where all one does is ride one's bike, one must ask for permission to go anywhere. Gear also must be worn for a safe ride. Wearing this gear is mostly enforced by one's parents. Even though it gives a lot of independence to a small kid, they still rely on an adult for most things they do. Driving a car brings considerably more independence. Parents may set boundaries, but it is completely up to the teen to choose how to drive. The teen is in control of speed, safety, and the lives of other drivers around them and a car accident would be much more serious than a bike
