8-year-old Takes Parents' Car Without Their Consent and Drives at 140km/h!

An 8-year-old from Germany is making headlines after he took his parents’ car without their consent and enjoyed a fun ride at 140km/h.

According to Indian Express, the boy’s mother had earlier informed the local police that he is missing with the family’s car. Later, she found him at a highway service area with the car parked, hazard lights on and a warning triangle beside the vehicle. The boy said he pulled over because over-speed made him feel unwell.

When the police asked him why he did such thing, he said, “Just wanted to drive a little bit.”  In a Facebook post, the Soest police wrote about the incident with a photo without revealing the boy’s identity. The police also said no damage to life and property was recorded.
