8-year-old boy learned to drive on YouTube videos

The Internet, as some deputies from St. Petersburg are sure, is evil. Children should not be allowed there at all, because everything is from the evil one. In our opinion, the best way to protect children from harmful information is not to teach them to read. But now is not about that.

America, as you know, is a progressive country. You can get behind the wheel here as soon as you are 15 years old. But a resident of Eastern Palestine – that is the name of a modest town in Ohio – decided that he could not wait so long.

One evening, the boy really, really wanted a cheeseburger. Parents were already asleep by that time. The boy decided that he didn’t want to bother the tired mom and dad, so he slowly pulled off the keys, took his four-year-old sister by the hand and went to the garage. I got into my car and drove safely a mile and a half to the nearest McDonald’s.

According to witnesses, the boy drove the car quite confidently. I looked at the traffic lights, did not forget to turn on the turn signals, and managed to park normally. To say that the cafe staff was shocked to see such a couple in the car is to say nothing. At first they even decided that it was some kind of joke. Then it became clear: no, not a joke.

The police arrived at the cafe when the kids were finishing their cheeseburgers.

– I have been working as a patrol officer for two years. I’ve never seen anything like it before, and I don’t think I’ll see anything like it, ”Jake Koehler, a patrolman who called at McDonald’s, told The Telegraph. – The boy said he learned how to drive a car using training videos on YouTube.

The children were taken home. The police will not bring any charges against the parents. But what sanctions parents will apply to a young driver is an open question.
