Doesn't mean he's any good at it...
Here's the story of a Virginia boy who really loves learning.
Around 7:40 am on Monday, the 6-year-old missed his bus but was determined to get to school one way or another. Instead of relying on his parents, he took the keys to his family's 2005 Ford Taurus and drove off. While his mother slept, blissfully unaware, the boy drove nearly six miles before going off the rural road and hitting an embankment, followed by a utility pole, less than two miles from his school.
His parents, Jacqulyn Deana Waltman (26) and David Eugene Dodson (40) have been charged with child endangerment. The mother is being held without bond, while the father was released on a $5k bond.
"He was very intent on getting to school," said Northumberland County Sheriff Chuck Wilkins. "When he got out of the car, he started walking to school. He did not want to miss breakfast and PE."
As if that story weren't bizarre enough, the boy told police that he learned to drive by playing Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Jam. Now that is one intuitive kid.
Both he and his 4-year-old brother are currently in protective custody.

The kid getting that far before crashing.
Or the fact that he plays GTA.
Paper crafts, painting, learning basic stuff. Meh, kids XD
Well, the mother should have been awake to send her kid off (he IS 6 after all). But why is the father being held? Was he awake in the house or something? I don't see how the father could be in trouble, if he wasn't there (unless he was supposed to be, in which case he would be the one who would be in the most trouble)....
otherwise...that car would need a new tranny anyway
what im really confused is that, how did he see to drive?? kid must be tall because, i can't see his feet being able to touch the pedal, and see where he was going. At that age all i saw was the sky and spedometer.
Lesson learned: video games are not useless, especially for this young agent. Do not try at home.
Maybe this kid lives on the country side or something. Less traffic.
lol no i mean he must have gone to school to see a girl
How it runs: 6 year old kid driving it!
