Re:
FSI, it sure sounds that way, or he was just lucky not to have crashed.

He drove better than a lot of people I have seen.

Re: I can't believe this.....and that too that his mother didn't know
Straightforward, ...incredible headline story this week! It took two police cars to stop him when he slowed- one police car in front and another in back. His mother was as suprised as everyone else. Let's hope she's more vigilant in the future.

Re:
GypsyB,  this precocious kid had plenty of nerve, too! ...a determined dare devil, you might say.

Some kids are just really precocious. Remember the comic strip, Calvin & Hobbes(one of my favorites)? There are some boys who behave very much like Calvin.

Re:
Justi, there's no stepfather; the boy was home alone while his mother worked the night shift. Apparently she was not yet home early in the morning when the boy began his journey.

Re:
FSI, yes, especially when there's a strong desire to do it.

If he was home alone, why. If he was home with his step dad what was happening there. This is more than a little boy taking the car and embarking upon a lengthy trip.

It's amazing what some people do.

Re: I think he may have done his learner driving on that trip...
Kabu, no doubt! He'll just have to wait a few years before he's licensed. And, yes, that mommy had a rude awakening to her son's need to see his daddy.

Re: well, they say cars practically drive themselves now...:)
Rumor, he was able to do it until someone saw this child at the wheel and called police.

I hope Mommy realized how much a little boy needs his Daddy.

well, they say cars practically drive themselves now...:)
between that and this kid's smarts, (cute though he was still in his pj's), it was probably doable.....
