Two Year Old Video of 7 Year Old Driving SUV

Here’s a great little peep story. 2 years ago a guy made a video of his 7 year old son driving the family SUV, with mom and 2 other kids in the back seat. Dad is heard chortling about how fast they are going — 70 km/h apparently. Somehow the video ends up on You Tube this week. Now the parents are wanted — oh, breaking news, they’ve been identified and are ready to face the music for breaking whatever laws they’ve broken. (Dad says he was just kidding on the video, sonny boy never went faster than 40 km/h.) What’s the moral of this story? I’m not even sure. But peep law #1 prevails again: if you film it, we will see it.

Youtubedunderagedrivevideostills from the YouTube video which has been removed from YouTube for violating their terms of service.

 

And, just for fun while I’m at it, here’s the video of the police pursuing a 7 year old boy from Plain City who didn’t want to go to church so ended up stealing a car and driving it back home. No one ever asks the question: how does this video end up in the hands of the news media in the first place? Whenever I see these kinds of videos I wonder what laws or logic govern the release of police cruiser video cam footage to the media.

Hi Hal.
I’ve really been missing out on what you’ve been up to - your Facebook postings seemed to indicate you were streaming live while in L.A. and such, but I was never able to see them.

C’est la vie.
I’ll try and tune in again this week.

My son is driving cross country from California to Massachusetts solo for school. What the youngest age anyone has ever driven cross country? Do you think any charity event or fund raisers would participate, like donate money to a organization every mile driven.

7 year old boy who stole his parents car and drove home because he didn’t want to stay in church. The kid nearly hit another car at a stop sign and was going pretty fast too .. like over 50mph. Fast for a little kid who can barely see over the steering wheel! He had a police officer following him the whole way home.

I worked in new car sales for four years and the minimum test drive age was 18. Some individuals might let it slide if you already had your license and a parent was with you…

Most of the individuals that come to me for their long term care insurance policy needs and long term care insurance quotes, do so in order to protect their assets and to insure a choice in the quality of care that they deserve.limo miami
