A video clip posted in China recently showed a young girl aged just four or so steering her parents’ car along a busy highway. The proud parent sat alongside her and gave her advice as she steered the vehicle along a busy stretch of road and overtook a series of other vehicles. The proud father eventually told the little girl to pull the car over to the side of the road so he could take the wheel again. The video revealed that the girl used pieces of wood to operate the foot pedals. China’s police now take a tough line on traffic offenders and quite what they would have made of the little girl behind the wheel, and the actions of her parents, is unclear.
