Australian Man Learns The Hard Way That Seven Year Olds Can't Be Designated Drivers
The state's transport minister says he was stunned to hear a police patrol discovered the boy at the wheel of a car, which was driving without headlights on, about 3am (AEST) on Friday.
It will be alleged his father was drunk in the passenger seat beside him.
The 41-year-old NSW man failed a roadside breath test, but police couldn't confirm media reports he was three times over the legal blood alcohol limit.
"I shake my head and am shocked by the madness of this," Transport Minister Scott Emerson told the ABC.
