Tags : 11 year old truck driver, boy driving a loader, new zealand arrested for driving a truck
In the WTF story of the day police pulled over an 11-year-old boy driving an eight ton loader in New Zealand. Not pretend driving, actually driving. On a road.
Senior Sergeant Warren Newbury said officers had first stopped a truck and trailer in Southbridge and then pulled over the loader following it.
In what has got to be the understatement of the year Senior Sergeant Newbury said:
“Police were surprised to find the loader was being driven by an 11 year old boy.”
No shit.
The boy was driving the loader following his dad who was driving a truck to an undisclosed destination. The father has been charged with aiding and abetting an unlicensed driver.

Well when I was 9, I used to drive my dads 5 ton bulldozer between job sites. Every one thought it was the most natural and obvious thing to do since I obviously couldn't drive the ute, which would just be plain dangerous!
fun times…
