Does "Noddy" promote indiscipline?

Going one step ahead of Dr. Anbumani Ramadas, who banned smoking in films, I propose that the made-for-TV computer-generated animation series "Noddy" (created by Enid Blyton) be marked for adult viewing or to be viewed under adult supervision only.

Though Noddy's car is self-aware, the fact is not apparent to the viewer. It is indisputable that Noddy is a sub-teenager sitting behing the wheel of a car. This is a dangerous example for children. You may argue that Noddy is a toy and so is his car, but how come the toys walk by themselves and how many times have you seen grown-ups as passengers in toy cars?

I am sure Lewis Graham wouldn't be thrilled.
