Johor Mum Showcases Her 10yo Son Driving Himself & Siblings To School, Surrenders To PDRM

After realising that a video of their 10-year-old son driving a car was being investigated by the police, a couple surrendered to the Pontian District Police Headquarters in Johor, yesterday (12 May).

Based on a report by Harian Metro, the Pontian District Police Chief Superintendent Mohammad Shofee Tayid shared that the couple came with their 3 children to help with the investigation, which started after a video of a 10-year-old boy driving a Perodua Kancil with his siblings inside the vehicle had gone viral.

The Inforoadblock Facebook page shared the video, which showed the young boy driving away with his siblings in the car.

“When mama is very late to send them to school. My 10-year-old son will drive to school. He’ll bring his siblings along too. Be careful, my son,” was written in the video.

“The incident happened at 7am last Tuesday (10May) in Pekan Nanas, when they were getting ready for school. The mother of the 3 children admitted that the TikTok account who showcased the video was her account,” he said.

The investigation was carried out in accordance with Section 42 of the Road Transport Act (APJ) 1987.

“Parents or guardians who allow a minor to drive a vehicle can be prosecuted under Section 33 of the Children Act 2001. Besides that, the owner of the vehicle can be sued according to Section 39 (5) APJ 1987,” he added.
