When I read the Peel Regional Police tweet over the long weekend, I presumed they’d made a typo. They were reporting a collision between two cars, and noted one of the drivers “is 9-years-old.” Hmmmm. Mistake?Nope. It seems a 9-year-old asked their adult neighbour if they could drive said neighbour’s car. Of course the logical answer to that question is “yup!” Kiddo successfully reversed the car, but things went askew when they tried to maneuver forward. The youngster lost control (though, please, let’s not even pretend they ever had control in the first place) and crashed into another car in the neighbouring driveway.UPDATE: Not a typo 9-year-old asked an adult neighbour if they could operate the vehicle. Child was allowed to reverse the vehicle and when the child tried to pull it forward, the child lost control and struck another vehicle in the adjacent driveway. No injuries Peel Regional Police (@PeelPoliceMedia) June 30, 2019So many questions. Did the kid crash into their own family’s car? If not, let’s imagine how peeved that other neighbour is going to be. Was beer involved? Were other kids playing in the vicinity? Can I listen in on the call to the insurance broker on this? Judgy-Pants for the middle schoolers! Take Our
