Cops in Blackpool, Lancashire were left surprised when they came across the boy behind the wheel of a red car in the seaside town centre. When officers stopped the vehicle, a member of the boy’s family told them they were so fed up with him playing the video game that they decided to give him a driving lesson. But police were having none of it and reported the adult for a series of traffic offences.
Lancashire Road Police said on Twitter, "The driver of this car was 11 years old. Yes, eleven. A family member was fed up with the child playing Grand Theft Auto all day on the PlayStation, so brought him out to practice driving on a car park in Blackpool. The adult has been reported for traffic offences."
Surprisingly, some people saw no issue with the boy driving a car on the roads. One man wrote, "Back in the day this was normal." But another disagreed, saying, "Seriously 11? Really don't get why an eleven-year-old was behind the wheel." On Facebook, someone wrote, "They do driving lessons for children aged 10 and over in Bolton. He should have booked the kid on one of those." In the UK, you can apply for a provisional driving licence when you are 15 years old and nine months. You can start driving when you're 17.
