The war on drunk driving has gone too far. Now children are being affected.

This story resurfaces every year or so. At least he knew he was to drunk to drive. I say shame on the dad for not teaching his son to properly operate a motor vehicle.

What I don't understand is why the man waited so long to let his kid drive. I mean, 6 is plenty old enough. Same for cigs and booze. Sheltered kid...

The kid drove into the median, obviously he has been abused through lack of enough experience with GranTurismo and GTA...

Poor parenting FTL.
