5-Year-Old Utah Boy Pulled Over While Trying To Drive To California To Buy A Lamborghini

5-Year-Old Utah Boy Pulled Over While Trying To Drive To California To Buy A Lamborghini

When he saw an SUV driving erratically and breaking several rules of the road, a Utah Highway Patrol officer pulled the vehicle over.

The offender was a rather difficult person to write up a ticket for though.


When a police officer pulls a car over, they have no idea what is waiting for them behind that driver side door.

For one Utah Highway Patrol trooper it was a big—but funny—surprise. A five-year-old boy was driving on his way to another state to purchase a Lamborghini.

The child had driven his parents' car from his home to the highway. Luckily he didn't get far.

In the trooper's vehicle dash cam, the entire ordeal was captured.

The video shows that it was clear something was awry in that SUV.

First, the vehicle can be seen changing speeds, switching lanes without using any turn signals, and riding in between lanes.

Then, when the trooper flicks on the siren, the SUV pulls over to the side of the road and repeatedly pumps the brakes, until simply keeping them on. Neglecting to put the vehicle in park seems a bold move.

Eventually, the officer opens the car door himself, leans his entire body in and the car is finally put in park.

The trooper's overheard conversation with the driver quickly puts things into focus.

"How old are you? You're five years old. Wow....Okay."
"Where did you learn how to drive a car? Where did you get this car?"
"Where were you going? California, wow!"

In a light-hearted tweet, the Utah Highway Patrol described the boy's shortsighted plan.

Nick Street, a Lieutenant with the Utah Highway Patrol, shared some additional details with BuzzFeed News. The trooper reported that the boy was driving at about 37 mph, far less than the 70 mph speed limit on that highway.

Street went on to share that the initial tweet was incorrect. The boy's parents were in fact at work when it all took place. He was home with his sister, who was babysitting. The boy capitalized on the reduced supervision to make his move.

Twitter, knowing the kid was alright in the end, threw its full support behind his problem-solving spirit.




Some struggled to believe he was indeed five years old, as he claimed.



What is indisputable is that the boy is indeed a child and FAR beneath the legal age to drive. It goes to show how far dreams can take even the youngest among us.

A few miles from home, to a loud, sunny highway where it all comes crashing down.

While he can't get the real thing, this Officially Licensed RC Lamborghini Veneno Sport Racing Car is available here.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
