Kid looks like a better driver than 90% of Irish people.

Hes driven other cars before and is a good little driver,been driving since he was 5.......

Despite the charges, the nine-year-old's parents were unapologetic after the incident, admitting that their child had driven multiple cars before, including his father's Lamborghini and Bentley.

"I am proud of him. He's been driving since he was five," said Amal Nisham, the boy's mother who filmed the video.

"It was his ninth birthday, and since he was insisting for months, we allowed him to drive the Ferrari. He is a cautious and confident driver," the parent told television channel NDTV.

You've obviously never worked on farms in this country, where you'll see boys no older than this working huge tractors and other plant.

Why couldn't I be born into that family...

I would say he is talented kid. talented kids can leap classes in schools and colleges then why not this? ya it is dangerous but if kid knows how to drive, which he seems to know well, it should be appreciated rather than humiliated. Hats off to the boy and specially the parents who took big risk to teach driving to their son, obviously because the boy may be really passionate about cars or racing. I liked it. The road seemed pretty safe for him to drive without hurting anyone.

You can't kill anyone with a classroom.

I'm mightily impressed with that kid's driving! :pac:

Perhaps on principle they should wag a finger at the father but really, nothing more than that. A bit of a treat on his ninth birthday, no harm – very little foul. He was hardly racing down the motorway.

Nice wheels, though more than a bit disappointed with Mumbai's Beverly Hills equivalent tbh.

Looks a bit like the old traffic training school that used to be down at Clontarf by the side of the Dart line...:pac:

Shocking- imagine anyone letting their kid do that..:oslinks off to warn kids to stfu and don't tell mum..and don't mention the digger..

partyatmygaff · 29-04-2013 11:30pm

He's probably a better driver than most in India.

The curse of the interweb, every experience posted online to be scrutinised generation. My first drive behind the wheel of a car was my godfathers E type Jag. Oh yes. I was 13. The only time in my life when I was actually approaching cool. Just approaching mind you. It's been downhill since.

Jeebus, when I think back...

From that age on my dad would regularly enough hand me the keys of the family car to take over coming back from fishing trips in Wicklow or Kildare(coming from Dublin). Only once did we go through a Garda checkpoint coming into Tallaght and my oulfella did some mad Jedi mind fcuk of "this isn't the underage driver you're looking for" and I got waved through. :eek: I do remember how driving was easy enough, but how oncoming traffic used to freak me out at first.
