Six-year-old takes father’s car for a spin

A six-year-old boy in The Netherlands on Thursday discovered that driving a car is not as easy as it looks, the Dutch ANP news agency reported on Thursday.

The boy sneaked out with his father’s car keys and went for a spin. However, driving turned out to be an acquired skill and the wild ride ended after he drove through several gardens to finally crash into the front of a house.

No one was hurt but the car was badly damaged, ANP said. The six-year-old told the police that he was on his way to see his grandmother. — AFP
