Hi, kae, best wishes for the season.

I have to tell you, here in N'cle 5yo kids do occasionally drive cars to great destruction.

Speaking from personal acquiantance, having worked with the parents, one kid of approx age 5 jumped into the driver's seat at a local shopping centre while his mum (an ex-copper, btw) was at the bank.

He put the (automatic) car in reverse gear and stood on the accelerator, wiped out 2 cars and drove through a shop window. This happened in the early 1990s, with lots of witnesses.

The kid and his brother, who was also in the vehicle, survived unhurt as did innocent bystanders. Mum hasn't been the same since.

Hey, Anon (which one?), hello!

Hmm. I still wouldn't call that driving... the kid, surely, can't be fully in control of the vehicle..

I can understand how Mum wouldn't have been the same again.
