Eager Scholar Takes The Wheel
Posted on January 8, 2009 - Filed Under News Item, Video Games | 1 Comment
The parents of a six-year-old boy in the US have been charged with neglect after the boy drove their car for 10km in an attempt to get to school on time.
Police in Virginia said the boy, who was not named, took the keys to the car after he missed the school bus.
He drove for six miles (10km) on major roads, weaving through traffic and overtaking slower cars, before losing control and going off the road.
The boy told police he learned to drive by playing video games.
Proof, as if it were needed, that video games can teach players important life skills.
