A just 12-year-old driver from Falkenstein in northern Germany drove off in his mother's car on Friday afternoon.
The drivers are getting younger and younger. Since 2017, for example, it has been possible for 17-year-olds to drive a car today. Under certain conditions. Among other things, an experienced driver must be in the car.
Neither was the case when a 12-year-old went wrong in the German town of Falkenstein on Friday afternoon last week.
That's what Auto Bild writes.
The 12-year-old, who the police will not disclose more than his age, had taken some to his mother's car shortly before the accident.

However, the police would like to state that it was a feeding facility for wild animals that stopped the 12-year-old's choir trip. The very young driver simply hit the plant and did not get on from there.
As the 12-year-old is well below the criminal minimum age, which in Germany is 14, the police could not do much else about it all when they found the car.
The same was the case when a boy of just 11 was recently stopped in a BMW X5 on a stretch of motorway.
After the car, the very young driver pulled a caravan. And inside the car, the police found separate stolen effects. Read more about it here.
Back in Germany, the story doesn't say anything about what made the slightly older driver nail his mother's nails, run away and do something wrong.
