Over the last decade the streets of Egypt have slowly filled with three-wheeled auto rickshaws.
A cheap and easy way to get around, they are particularly favoured by young people.
But now more and more children are dropping out of school to make money from carrying passengers in the vehicles.
With little driving training in how to drive, they are often accused of showing disregard for pedestrians and larger vehicles. Some however, have second thoughts about their career choices
Some drive tuktuks to save money for bettering their education
Passengers and local residents are now demanding a clamp down on child drivers by introducing a minimum age limit of 18.
According to one local resident, the government should license these tricycles with a number plate in order to make it easier to locate the tuktuk that goes against the law. The government should also impose a special age for driving starting from 18 years old and over. And if the driver is under age, the tuktuk should be confiscated.
Many in Egypt see learning a craft or a trade as outweighing the benefits of traditional education. This is why working on tuk tuks is seen as a tempting and easy way to make money.
