It’s not every day that one hears a young boy takes a family car, drives off to visit his grandmother, and eventually explains that video games taught him how to do such an act. However, that is exactly what one child did. Following reports of an unmanned car, a police officer found the 9-year-old in a store parking lot. The boy said, “It’s my first time driving, but I learned from watching dad and playing at the video arcade.”
The boy was able to drive the car “by sitting at the front of the seat and clinging to wheel.” The parents were warned to watch over their car more carefully in the future.
Update: Some believe that the picture above might have been photoshopped. Obviously, if the image was indeed photoshopped, the news originally reported may also turn out to be false. Looks like we’ll have to wait for December to roll around, or an official statement from Opera/Nintendo to see if this update is the real deal.
