Youngster Drives Down Busy City Streets

In Beijing a young girl about 4-5 years old drives down the street in the busy early morning traffic. Whats worse is that two adults are in the car and one of them, the woman, is even filming it. This tape was posted on the popular Chinese website called youku, and there has been major controversy about it. At the beginning of the video you can hear the woman speaking, telling the little girl to drive carefully. A little later on the young girl is mentioning how the flowers are starting to bloom, and the male adult in the back seat tells her to drive safely and pay attention to the road. At the end of the video it shows the man get out of the backseat and remove extension pedals from the driver seat, which explains how the little girl managed to reach the pedals in the first place.


Who on earth lets their child, that young, drive, let alone down what appears to be a busy highway. Obviously Beijing doesn't have very many cops out at 7 in the morning or these two "adults" would be sitting in a Chinese jail where they deserve to be. Do these parents not care about the safety of their child, or themselves for that matter? I don't care how good of a driver this little girl seems to be.....SHE IS ONLY 4 OR 5!!! This really enrages me, and I hope that by now officials have tracked these parents down and have done something, anything about this situation. We can't let people get away with things like this. That little girl could have killed herself and the only people to blame would have been the parents for letting her drive in the first place. The child didn't know any better she probably just thought it was all fun and games because she had obviously done it before. Things like this make me not even want to know what is going on in the rest of the world.....we have enough do deal with in America, we don't need to be adding stresses like idiots in China or anywhere else that let their children behind the wheel at such a young age.
