Younger drivers

A seven year old US school boy was so keen to get to school when his parents slept in one morning that he took their car and attempted to drive himself. The boy unfortunately crashed the car en-route, although he only suffered minor injuries and was later discharged from hospital. He had missed the school bus and opted to take the car and drive to school but ran the car off the road several times before hitting an embankment and a utility pole. The boy arrived shortly after lunch after being taken to school

A seven year old US school boy was so keen to get to school when his parents slept in one morning that he took their car and attempted to drive himself. The boy unfortunately crashed the car en-route, although he only suffered minor injuries and was later discharged from hospital. He had missed the school bus and opted to take the car and drive to school but ran the car off the road several times before hitting an embankment and a utility pole. The boy arrived shortly after lunch after being taken to school by the authorities.

And in Germany, an eight-year-old boy who wanted to complain to his mother about being sent out of class, took his teacher's car and crashed it. The boy had been sent out from the class for disrupting a lesson but stole the teacher's car key when she was not looking. He managed to start up her car but drove it for just 25m before crashing into another vehicle that was also in the car park outside the school.

    England’s motorway network is not safe enough to have the speed limit raised to 80mph, according to a new report from the Road Safety Foundation (RSF). Titled ‘Unfit for 80’, the report says poorly-maintained and inadequate roadside protection and the rapidly rising risk of shunt crashes from the sheer volume of traffic using England’s motorways are key factors of safety concern. The RSF document has been published while the Government continues to consider a review of the motorway speed limit. Last autumn,

    An Australian man has reason to regret his enthusiasm for the performance of his own vehicle. The man was planning to sell his high-performance Lamborghini and took a prospective purchaser out for a test drive. However, the owner became over-enthused with the car’s capabilities, which were clearly greater than his own. He lost control on a bend and slammed the car sideways into a tree, causing severe damage to the vehicle. Luckily the car’s protection system ensured that the owner and his passenger suffered
