A video of a 13-year-old boy driving an Audi R8, with the current price tag of $495,000, has provoked the local online community.

 

According to STOMP, the citizen journalism website, the boy "seems to have driven the R8 on multiple occasions, with an external party at hand, making a recording of his 'exploits.'"

 

The STOMPER who forwarded the video also observed that the boy driver "did not have his seat belt on" and "his line of sight barely clears the steering wheel."

 

The STOMPER added, "Is it legal for the parents to allow their son to take the wheel without a valid licence?"

 

Netizens in another online forum, hardwarezone, also expressed indignance that a 13-year-old boy was allowed to drive at all.

 

One forummer argued that the 13-year-old boy should be reported in order to prevent future accidents.

 

He cited several accidents that involved drivers in their twenties with fast cars.

 

Some netizens have expressed disbelief about the incident happening in Singapore.

 

However, AsiaOne observed the slight outline of an In-Vehicle unit in the video.

 

Under the Road Traffic Act, a person has to be at least 18 years old before driving a car.

nowaday, kids are very smart. they just nee to observe how their parents drive den can laio... plus not to forget, most cars are A/T now, unlike M/T where u need to learn, for A/T, you just need a key to start the car and zoom off...
