10 Year Old Boy Claims Hes An Adult Dwarf

After thieving his parent’s car and driving it into a ditch a 10 year old Norwegian boy told the police he was a dwarf who had misplaced his driving licence. Some young children are story tellers, but this has to top them all. The boy managed to drive 10km in the car before burying it in a ditch, impressive, although still 50km away from his destinations, grandma’s house. The car was spotted by a snow plough who alerted the police of the stranded vehicle.

Although it with his story is sounds like a light hearted subject, it’s not at all, there is a serious point to this in which he could have got hurt and not to mention in the car with him was his 18 month old sister. There was a happy ending, no police charges, no harm to the children and no damage to the car, and I’m pretty sure in the future their parents will be keeping a more observant eye on the boy.

On an even more serious notes, did he have a booster seat and pedal extensions? Although there is no minimum height to drive a vehicle its advised that you have a cushion or pedal extensions to increase safety/vision if you are below 5ft in height. I don’t know why but I’m envisioning a toy story moment with a struggling child trying to drive a vehicle.

Putting A Car Hire Spin On Things
This isn’t our usual story so we’ve got to put a bit of a car hire message in, the 10 year old child would of likely needed a child seat. As the legal requirements for car seats state that if he is under the age of 12 or 135 cm in height he needs to be wearing one at all times. You can find details about car seats when hiring a car are available but often cost an extra daily fee, therefore we often suggest the alternative of buying one if possible, please click here for more information.
